We have been watching History Teachers Channel on Youtube the last few weeks.  It inspired two students to make their own history music video.  Great job.  Hope others follow these digital footprints.

Our little middle school has been in the news a little bit the last few week.  My eighth period was filmed twice (NPR STORY and PBS TV show) Clips of these stories are below the image.   Our online textbook was also mentioned in New York City at the TEDxNYED Conference, by Alan November.  He is an international educational technology speaker.  The following is an image from his presentation in New York City March 5, 2011.

Humanism: I Dreamed A Dream

As asked in class. What does this have to do with what we are learning?  Who would she have been during the middle ages?  What does this have to do with the Renaissance?  How do you feel about what we talked  The Lyrics for the song are found here. 

The last few lines: 
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

Some Projects worth looking at...

The Middle Age Webquest was a mastery project.  Some students finished with a few days before spring-break.  They were asked to work on an independent project for the reminder of the time in class.  Not everyone finished, but that is fine as time was an issue.  However I want to share a few with you. 

The Mindcraft work is a video game.  Students could create a Castle from nothing and then they used screen-capturing software to record a tour of the castle they made.  Others used prezi, powerpoint, podcasting, voki's, blogs ect.  I can put them all up but a few to show you.

Some links first:
Prezi put in online book (part way down page): http://dgh.wikispaces.com/Middle+Ages
BLog copied and pasted and added to for the online book:

Over springbreak, several students traveled far away from Beachwood.  I asked the to take pictures, film, whatever they could do to show what they can "See" in the world around them that we have learned about this year.  The following is two film clips from Hannah and Hannah.  First we, skyped them in their RV while in SC driving down I-95 and then their short movie on the Enduring Impacts.  Great Job.
