Module 7

I must be well prepared for this project.  Students should not have to waste time by waiting for materials or instructions.  My portal should have everything that the kids will need to access information or research for their project.  Students need to be on-task and can do this by following their guidelines & rubrics I have presented them with.

Technology will be used during this project for blogging, keynote presentation, & research skills.
