Since we are talking a lot about interactive technology for our students I have been keeping an eye out for some cool ideas. I ran across this on a blog and I think it is pretty cool. It is a timeline of healthcare reform called "A History of Overhauling Healthcare" by the New York Times. How cool is that? What a great way to make the present applicable to a study of history, not to mention it could be related to a great many overall themes throughout the history of America like reform.
I added my storyboard to the word document on the Teaching with Technology Blog. I hope that I did it right. I could not get the pictures to paste into any kind of document in Google Documents or in the word document on the blog. I can e-mail the word document that I originally wrote if that would be better. Thanks!
This video, though well done, does not properly use copyright law. It does not give credit or tell the viewer where the pictures, or the songs were found. The song is not 10%, it seems that they have played the song twice in the same video.

I am guessing that much of this video's information because it is about forty years old is still not in the public domain, but once again there is no citation for any of the videos displayed. However, I wonder if less than 10% of these video and audio clips are being shown here. I don't know how I could tell if that information was true or not without looking up the videos myself.
My virtual field trip is located on my class website. Its about the pyramids and it has links to the assignments that the students will be doing along with their tour.
P.S. My artifact and my Lesson Activity Plan are the same thing. I am not sure if that is acceptable, but they seemed so similar to me for my particular assignment that that is what I decided to do.
