Blog Assignments Update to Instructions

1. By October 15 you should have completed your posts assigned on the separate blog assignments sheet through the post about Seymour Papert.

2. As you encounter uses for any of the tools we are learninmg about in class, post your "story" to your blog. I will add links to your stories on this master blog. Three examples (which will be elaborated upon by the students involved):
A. Danielle Hermann's mother teaches children who cannot come to school because of illness or other reasons. Danielle showed Google Talk to her mother as well as Google Docs. Now her mother is using Google with her students and their parents.
B. Kailey Aaron is sick today. Just before class she signed on to Google Talk to chat with Dr. Strange and to inform him that she would be absent today. That is very helpful.
C. Kimberly Piburn has computers on both floors of her house. She showed her mother how Google allows you to have everything with you. Now her mother has what she needs anywhere in the house she might be and she doesn't have to interrupt Kimberly to help.

3. As you teach your parents (or your children/grandchildren teach you), post those stories to the blog. Examples;
My graddaughter (Eliza age 11) taught me how tio add four people at a time to iChat while we were at a family reunion this weekend.
Kimberly and Danbielle both taught their mothers to use Google.

4. Additional assignments for blog post topics will be added to this post later today.
