The Finish Line?

This is to remind/clarify what the last three posts should be on your blogs.

When you finish the game review and a teacher has reviewed it for you, you can post it as a separate blog entry.
In the title: write, Game Review: your game (write the actual name of your game)
In the content: you can copy and paste your answers to the questions from GoogleDocs.

When you finish your social issue research, you will also post it as a separate blog entry.
In the title: write Social Issue: your issue (again, write out your actual issue)
In the content: you can copy and paste your answers to the questions from GoogleDocs.

The PowerPoint: See the previous post for the instructions on the content of the PowerPoint.

To post on your blog: I will come in on Friday to show you how to put a PowerPoint on your blog. . .we will be using a web-based tool, either Scribd or SlideShare, which will allow you to embed your PowerPoint right into your blog!!

Remember, if you are working in a group, you can each have the same content on your blogs!!

Do u Have a PowerPoint?

Well, we have reached the end of our tech time together. . .I will be distributing a rubric so you can determine whether or not you have completed all that I have asked you to accomplish this summer. . .

The last task you have is to take your review of the social issue behind your game and to create a PowerPoint that you could present to the class. I will also show you how to embed your PowerPoint onto your blog using a web-based tool called Slideshare.

I believe that everyone has used PowerPoint before, so I am going to give you some instructions as to what should be the content of your PowerPoint. If you need some help with PowerPoint, see me or your teacher.


1. Title Slide: Should contain your name/group members, social issue you are addressing (with definition or explanation if necessary), and an appropriate graphic/picture of the issue.

2. Second Slide: Use the "Title and Content" slide layout. Put the name "Web Resources" in the title and put the links in the content. Add appropriate pictures/graphics.

3. Slides 3,4,5: Using the "Title and Content" slide layout, explain each of your three resources on separate slides. Place the name of the site in the title and give some facts that relate to your social issue that came from the site. You can also address the issue of why you choose this particular site for a resource.

4. Slide 6: Explain what can be done to address the social issue. What could be done at the governmental level, the state level, the community level, the individual level. . .This may take more than one slide. . .Include appropriate graphics/pictures

After the PowerPoint is finished, you will use slideshare to embed your PowerPoint into your blog. . .If we have time, you will present your PowerPoints to the class.

If you finish early, please do another post on your blog explaining what you learned in the class and what you would still like to learn. What program or project would you like to do in the future.
