Feedback from Eighth Grade Teachers:

Pros:

Students would enjoy the change of pace in the layout of the lessons

Students would enjoy the variety of technology activities included within the lessons. They feel they would see it

more as fun and less as normal schoolwork.

This activity will give them the experience of correctly using MLA to cite their resources.

The type of activities will give them the experience to be able to use the technology they learn in other areas of

the curriculum

Cons:

What happens when students do not have access to computer and/or internet from home?

What would be an appropriate alternative assignment for students whose parents do not allow them to

participate in technology related activities at school.
