1.  Farm to School update

The media you created to promote January’s apples were posted to the school district’s Facebook, Twitter (see our Twitter side bar for link), and School Lunch page.  If you are proud of your work you might want to add it to your portfolio page (remember, it is linked off of your page on the class website).

You might also consider adding graphic design, photo editing, and infographic design to the skills section on LinkedIn.

2.  Boston Globe app research

You are going to begin class observations to gather data about the use of technology in the classroom.

a.  Pick your favorite class

b.  Fill out the sheet I give you

c.  Bring the sheet back to me after you have completed your observations on three separate days

3. Fun HTML and CSS refresher

Try these fun tutorials from http://codepupil.com/

4.  Creating your own website

Our next project will be to create a website on a topic of your choice.  You will be using one of several templates.  In the mean time, you should begin thinking about topics and gathering resources such as images and links.
