Classroom Post 7

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

In class yesterday, we went to the computer lab. We broke up into groups depending on the number on a sheet of paper we had and made Google presentations about one of the six causes of the American Revolution. Working on Google with other people at the same time was a new experience, but it worked out just fine in the end. We each focused on two slides to create, so it got done quickly. Then we could just go back through and read each others' work, so none of us had to read the really long sheet describing the First Continental Congress. In class today, we had an Ed Cafe about the topics we made presentations about yesterday. It wasn't as fun as the first one, though. Because there was so much that other people didn't know, we had to go through all the facts before even starting debates or conversations. The facts usually took up most of the allotted time, and if they didn't, there wasn't really much to say about what happened except that it happened. Because of that, it was easy to get off-topic.
