Hello IHM! Welcome to our second "Fantastic Friday"!
1. Classroom Technology Spotlight: Maggie is working with PowerPoints about the citrus industry. Students are creating persuasive presentations to evaluate threats to the citrus industry. A fun alternative to PowerPoint is an online tool called "Prezi" at http://prezi.com/ . This free Web 2.0 tool creates "non-linear" presentations. Here is an *unfinished* example of the "glogs" from last week: http://cboone.edu.glogster.com/glog/
