Your final middle ages project will be based on the ideas of "google days".  Google allows it's employes to spend 20% (one day a week) on a project of their choice without direct guidence.  Be created, construct and teach others.  I would like to post many of these on the web, so FIRST NAMES ONLY ON FINAL PROJECTS.  When you have your idea post it below and that way we can all see what everyone is doing.  

Add a link to the software, page of online book or idea you have.  Also add a one line explanation. 

You completed the daily assignment on the Magna Carta in groups of three.  The last question asked you to explain how today's class relates to the first day of class.  Fill in the google form to submit your answer to MR. Holmabn

Hey Cassidy is still sick: 101 fever.  I should be in Friday and we will address any concerns.  Play the voki below for directions for class today. 

1.  Quiz: MAQ5
2.  Blog on Quest 5: I would do it as a pilgrimage to a Cathedral.  That would help you talk about the vocabulary and gothic style of the times.  
3.  If you post your blog, start Quest 6 Art and music.  CSC 6 is due before the end of class on Friday. 

Thinglink.com is a site to take still images and then make them interactive. You can add: 
-details
-links
-facts
-and more.  

This is a great interactive idea for your blogs on the middle ages.  This way you get to explain your ideas about an image. 

I hope many of you use this in your next blog.  I will try to put a tutorial on the tutorial page soon.  

Check out my first Thinglink.com below.  What are your thoughts?
