It's now the beginning of week 4 and I have learned so much about technology that I didn't even know about. So I have to say the whole Wiki project was my favorite. I love to set up and edit things online. The table is an excellent way to add pictures and control the width of your text so you don't have to scroll across.
As far as blogging goes, I'm not a convert yet. I do see that blogging could be used as an excellent tool for teachers. In the elementary school, it just doesn't seem appropriate. I just can't imagine 1st or 2nd graders blogging. They have trouble remembering how to log in. Possibly in the upper grades, 5th graders would have a lot of fun blogging.
The group scavenger hunt was fun to put together. We met online on the blackboard discussion page and made up our plan. We posted our contributions on a temporary wiki page. Then everyone's input was put together. I can see that group work online can be difficult. It was hard to get us all on blackboard at the same time.
Well it's time to get working on week 4. It seems like this week is going to bring even more new technology : )

Alyssa, just so you know, I'm not at all a proponent of having 1st and 2nd graders blogging.
I'm not even sure I'm a proponent of blogging in any grade.
However, I think blogging is an awesome tool for educators.
Does that make any sense?
