Finale

Tai completed the slideshare and did a great job, if not to time constraints, we would have gone to the university to use the moviemaker and add audio. This girl has some creativity, she did better than me on my initial slideshare/powerpoint, very creative, if i didn't tell her to stop she would have a 50 page slideshares. The process unfolded greatly, couldn't have had a better kid to work with. If we had more time we could have done the moviemaker. What could I say she is my offspring... But this was what we could whip up.. Please see Tai's blog.

Research Process/Guide on the Side

The research process is going well. we have completed the essential questions and her unit questions.The inquiry based approach allows me to guide Tai using the questions she would like to research and provide answers to. She is having a great time and has no questions on the tools. She has started her internet resources and work cited page. I have given her instruction and she is literally running with the ball. i think I am learning a thing or two from her. Please see her work cited page:

I am literally the guide on the side, she has this down. Her computer courses at Grant Middle School surely are reflecting here.
