Thing 20

This Thing was a little easier thanks to the Tech Tutorials from Richard Armand for those he wished to expose to new technology. Yes, me.
The collaborative idea for classroom use would be for students to create a presentation dealing with the rhetorical elements in a poem or a speech. Students would include text evidence with commentary. They would also need to use images or even insert music or a video. I think I would limit the number of slides and the words per slide. Idea two would be for TEKS study with teachers collaborating on clarifying statements, the universe of possibilites, and connections to items currently in CSI. Idea three would be to create a survey form to use as an anticpatory set. This would help to activate students prior knowledge/opinions on a topic or issue. By surveying the class, the students would be able to refine and rethink opinions and beliefs.
Thing 20-I can not believe I have worked my way through this many things. My computer is still on my desk. It was in danger of being tossed, stomped, kicked, punched, and abandoned on many occasions during this journey. Earlier I alluded to something dark lurking around the corner, it is still lurking, but not a dark or threatening.
