1.  There is something different about our class website; what is it?

2.  Let’s check out the MHS/MVTHS video created for the re-accreditation committee

3.  Boston Globe app project update

a.  Where do you get your news?  Why?  Please use your Post-it’s (paper) or the ones on your computer screen to make some notes.  Please do this is groups of 3.

b.  How important is news to you?  Why?  Again, please take notes.

We’ll break into new teams for this:

Let’s look at BostonGlobe.com and Boston.com.

What differences do you see?  What do you like, not like, about both sites?

Let’s check out the Globe’s News in Education website

Go through whatever site your team has and write down your observations- the site’s look, visual appeal, the information, etc.  Again, please take notes with your paper or digital Post-it’s.

4.  Intro to blogging!  You will have a blog page on the class website.  Today we’ll look past class blogs and you’ll set up an account.
