Today we are discussing the difference between a blog and a microblog. We will view a video (Click Link To See Video) and discuss how Twitter is different from Facebook.
Please go to Twitter and set up an account. Then share the account name with me by emailing it to me at hscribneruchs@gmail.com.
Finally, try to get everyone in the class connected to your account. Find them and add them to your following list, and follow them as well.
Next, you will be split into teams and begin work on our first Google Earth Project. Your team's job is to identify a foreign (outside the United States) that I might be interested in visiting. You must present, as a team, a travelogue of the city (There will be prizes) on Monday. You must present, in as much detail as possible, the Location, Population, Government Information (Travel Restrictions, Visa's, Etc.), Transportation (Getting There and Getting Around While There), Places To Stay, Sight To See And Events, Restaurants, Clubs, or Anything Else That Might Be Fun. Your team presentation is graded, and you will evaluate everyone on the team's effort and write a short summary/review.
Enjoy!!
Mr. S
