-Students were focused on the water cycle rap with a sheet of lyrics that they had to fill in blanks.
-Expectations and objective were given early and students had a rubric to refer to for their assignment.

It was great to see students so highly engaged as well as see the visiting teachers jump in and facilitate. Great job!

-There was a bit of confusion with the common drive.  It seemed that the students were comfortable with using the drive and knew their way around it but the files were not being allowed to be uploaded.  I am sure it was a technology glitch but I wonder how it could be prevented in the future.

I loved seeing the students helping each other

-I like that the students had researched this and had a storyboard to help them with their project.  That way they had a written flow chart of what they needed to do in case they forgot.

Tech Strategies- Flocabulary, Animoto, and Tagul. I could use all of these sites and just change the topic.
