Robert Harrison got some pretty good pictures too. He did it with a weather balloon, a used digital camera he picked up on eBay and some duct tape.

21st Century Scholar Annoucment

Tuesday April 6th I will be grading each one of your wiki pages thoroughly.
You must have at least 18 points by April 6th.
I plan to add an additional column in your table where I can provide feedback on each assignment. If you have marked an assignment as complete please review it for spelling and grammar errors. Also, if you have created charts for comparing/contrasting a topic please include a summary of your charts. Many of you are using Google Reader and Delicious and have provided videos which are great. Please include a summary of how you are using these tools with examples or evaluate the tool pointing out features and flaws.
When writing about any topic on your page make sure to include links and photos. The more information you can provide on your page, the more interesting your page will be. Be sure to visit other student blogs and pages. You would be surprised what you can learn from your peers!
For those of you interested in Geocaching, we need to set a date. I believe after school would be better than a weekend. We would need a couple hours and there are several geocaches in Howard on the bikepath.
Keep up the good work!
