Final Project

My final project was a 5th grade oral book report that required students to use PowerPoint, Windows Movie Maker and a video camera.   I uploaded the mock presentation via Slide Share so I could share it with you guys (see below).

Here is a link to my guidelines/template and also a link to my rubric.

Games for the Classroom

Hey guys I just wanted to offer a few other possible games for the classroom.  Hayden and I introduced this to Megan's (my wife) fourth grade class last year.  The game uses a lot of abstract reasoning, non-linear thought processing and a ton of geography.  (video/music is owned by me).


This next one is a brilliant little game to get little ones using their imagination.  Creative writing possibilities galore.
