West Virginia Themed Panels

As we finish up our first panel, we will be researching imagery for our next project which reflects and showcases the state of West Virginia.  Topics/subject matter may vary from natural resources, historical/current landmarks, WV related symbols, etc. Groups were established last week, so as you finish up your first panel - please meet with your group to discuss the theme(s) you may want to cover and possible imagery.  Below I have attached some videos/pages that will provide tips in designing your panels. The panels for your group could possibly flow from one panel to the other, but doesn't have to.  Jennifer and I will also be working with you providing guidance where needed.
These videos were pulled off of Youtube so you could access them from the school server on either your laptops or ipad minis.

Sample Post Utilizing A Power Point With Audioboo

This post is just an example of how a PowerPoint can be inserted into your blog and even enhanced using an Audioboo.  Here I have used my Audioboo as an easy way to differentiate for those students who may have difficulties reading.  The Audioboo basically follows the PowerPoint, but doesn't necessarily need to.  Pictures and text could also be used as well as relevant questions regarding the post to engage your students in critical thinking - in some cases, getting them to do so in responding to your post.
