Journal:
 If you haven't noticed already, you have a substitute today (as you will tomorrow if you are not going to the Lugnuts game). Please be on your best behavior and work hard on your final projects, if you choose not to do these things then you will be assigned an after school detention. The directions for what to next on your final project are listed below. There will be no bathroom breaks today so don't even ask. See you Thursday.


 * Educational Websites:** You are to search the internet for websites that can be used for academic purposes. This could mean a website that helps you with homework (like in your math classes, if you don't know about your math textbook's website ask your math teacher). For now focus on educational resources, later we are going to look for educational simulations, but for now just look for websites that would help you in one of your core academic classes (Math, Science, English, Social Studies). Remember you will need to type up a summary of the website and why/how it could be used to help students learn or review for school. When you find a website you should explore, and make sure you bookmark it. Later I will show you how to copy and paste the web address into new pages on your wikispace. Good luck!

 Our sub reports were pretty good, so thank you for that. I think some people are confused, however, about what I mean by an educational website. Educational means that it can be used for educational purposes. Some people have been on YouTube, which does have some educational content, but if you want to use it for that then you must search for educational videos, not videos made for entertainment. Today I am going to discuss with you an example and how to analyze the site for educational content. The codeword for today is "IKEA". 1. Academic Resources 2. Academic Simulations 3.

I like the progress that I am seeing. Today be sure to check the final project wiki for the questions you should answer for each website you include in your project. **Do not answer the questions in a numbered format**, but rather in paragraph form. The codeword for today is "NAPOLEON".
