Internet Safety Podcasting
We spent some time in class discussing how to be safe when using the Internet. We talked about issues such as being cyberbullied, password security, internet predators and grooming and identity theft.
Students wrote their own script and selected pictures to use in their Podcast. They used the program Garage Band to create their podcast. Most of the podcasts will be available next week on the school website!
I am very impressed with their effort and enthusiasm for this project!

First Day of School-A Day
Hey there...if you are reading you have survived the first day of school (parents & students alike). I enjoyed meeting some new students today and seeing some "old friends" back for 7th grade technology. We went over class rules/procedures, took a tour of the "new" tech room and got to find out what people did over summer vacation.
Get your parent letters signed and return this week...see my "B" day people tomorrow to do it all again!
