We gotta be “techie” don’t we? Seems odd these days to not want to be knowledgeable about computers and technology in general, you know! Keeping up with our students is going to be the hard part.

Do these travel brochures get submitted to VISTNC.COM ? Do they need additional help writing brochures?

I really liked the lesson and it sounds very interesting.

Chris,

This sounds like a lot of fun. I wonder through… you mentioned making the travel brochure aimed at colonial travelers. I had to help my brother make paper to do a project on this year. It made the paper look really old and brittle. It would be interesting to see if you could do something like this in your class. It would really give an authentic feel to the brochures.

I like the idea of this paper. Maybe by the time I go to use it, all of the kinks will be worked out. Or maybe I’ll just work them out myself.

Smithey,

Blah, blah, blah!! Just kidding! I too feel that I am more prepared to effectively teach my students because of things learn/found in this class. I hope that all of us keep up with our blogs!! It’s a great way for us to share new and exciting info and ideas!! I would say have a great summer and all but we’ve still got a few more weeks of History class. Thanks for all the great info on your blog!!

P.S.
Weren’t you born before dinosaurs?? Ha Ha! Again just kidding. I knew you could handle it!!! See ya!

This sounds really interesting. I have never before heard N.C. called The Rip VanWinkle state and I think students would enjoy this lesson and the writing response. Roberta Wilson

Thanks for sharing these additional websites with us. I hope to have my students up and running with their own blogs by this time next year. Everyone loves to see their writing published, especially online. Roberta Wilson
