Today, we will finish our Prezis

Today, we will finish our Prezis.   Ms. Sileo will be in charge while Mrs. Morell is away.

Please focus and try to get it done today, or else it will be homework, due before next class.

Be sure to consult the rubric on last week's blog to make sure you have every element in place before you are finished.

When you are certain it is complete, please Email it to Mrs. Morell on mbmorell@htsdc.org.  (By clicking on the link that looks like this (use the envelope icon to Email):



If you are finished with your Prezi, you may make a choice from the following menu:

  • Work on your Math skils using Mathletics
  • Build your vocabulary using FreeRice
  • Try to name all the countries of the world on Sporcle (but only this challenge)
  • Or catch up on current events by exploring the New York Times Learning blog. (and wow your family at the dinner table with your new knowledge)
No you may not play CoolMath4Kids this week :)

I'll miss you - see you next week,
Mrs. Morell

Prezi!


Today, we'd like to introduce you to a new online presentation tool, called Prezi.  I used Prezi for the presentation on Digital Citizenship last week.  Eventually, Prezi will be one of the options for a Digital Citzenship project.

Prezi is completely amazing.  We'll start by sharing with a few examples from the Prezi website:
