The students enjoyed taking profile pictures of each other. Then they wrote acrostic poems describing themselves. Using photoshop Mrs. Gatz created silhouttes from the photographs. The students inserted the photographs into word and typed their poems. We're currently finishing recording our Voicethread. <br /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNTUwNjI5NzcyODEmcHQ9MTI1NTA2Mjk4MTEwOSZwPTIwNjQyMSZkPWI2MjcxMTcmZz*yJm89ZDY4YzBhMjk5YTQyNDMwMzkwZDQ3Zjk*MjAyNzQ1NDUmb2Y9MA==.gif" /><object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://voicethread.com/book.swf?b=627117"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://voicethread.com/book.swf?b=627117" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="360"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3428729360377971184-1578686412783700149?l=mrsgatz.blogspot.com'/></div>Mrs. Gatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12560146355584671282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3428729360377971184.post-7275327172344315232009-10-08T21:18:00.001-07:002009-10-08T21:21:09.619-07:00The 7th grade 2008-09 Poems.

I'm creating this blog as part of this class and I can't wait to get started. I'm also excited to return to my classroom and use Google Earth and Google Docs with my students. I can't wait. <br />We will utilize these new tools in a variety of formats throughout this year. I'm sure you will agree that these tools are both fascinating and fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3428729360377971184-3860340309891521715?l=mrsgatz.blogspot.com'/></div>Mrs. Gatzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12560146355584671282noreply@blogger.com0
