Another Note on the Project

Greetings
The students are well on their way to producing phenomenal projects on the Western Expansion of the United States. Most are working in PowerPoint or are videotaping their presentations. I am hoping to figure a way to upload the PowerPoints to this blog so everyone can see. The videotaping, won't be posted due to privacy concerns.
We have worked in groups on this project for a couple of weeks and are on steps 4 and/or 5 as delineated in the previous entry.
At the end of each period's work, the students save the project in a 'Google Apps' file. This process and the use of 'Google Apps' allows the students to work on the project at any time, in any class, including at home; as it is all web based.
Each group member can access the project and make updates that when saved, are available to the whole group. This process allows the students to effectively work as a group even though they are not in physical proximity to one another. It is quite a marvelous addition to the technology program at PHIS.
Each student has been taught how to use this in Computer class and Information Literacy class.

Please email with any questions you might have.

Mr. Harper
