1.  Official class photo and video!  We’re going to take a class picture AND we are going to make a video using Adobe Voice to introduce ourselves to Christine Casatelli of the Boston Globe’s News in Education program.

2.  Websites & apps we like?  What websites do you like?  Why?  What apps do you like?  Why?  Talk to the person next to you and make a list.  Then we will share with the class.

3.  Boston Globe project

The Boston Globe News in Education

Our major class project this year is to create an app for high school students and teachers to use in the classroom featuring content from The Boston Globe.  This is the first time something like this is being done and the project is wide open for us to be as creative and innovative as we want!

We just had a discussion about websites and apps we like and why.  Let’s now consider this in the context of school.  If you could use an app- any app- in the classroom, what would it be and why?

4.  Let’s start a webpage (if we have time)
