Research on topics Have students create pages for science

topics where they need to research different topics from lessons.

Displaying DataWhen students make graphs using

technology students can put completed graphs on wiki page for the teacher and other students to see.

Break into your subject areas to discuss any ideas you might have for your wiki pages.

Use the remainder of time to work on developing a lesson or activity to use with your students by the next time we meet on Nov 13th 2009.

Next time we will discuss and reflect on how your lessons and activities worked with your students.

I will be available on Fridays when there is no other professional development.
