Sites that Caught My Eye Today 05/18/2008

• westwood » Will's eFoilo

  This is a very interesting way that the student chose to link his Google doc and quite inventive. He created an HTML page and embedded it in the page instead of making the Google Doc public. What a great way to do this.

• westwood » Victoria's eFolio

  Another excellent efolio project from my student -- take a look at the Doodle For Google at the bottom and how she related the opportunity to speaking out for the crisis in Darfur. This is amazing work!

• digiteen » Digital Etiquette

  The page made by the digiteen students on digital etiquette. Although this page does not have the hyperlinks that it should have, it does have other great information.

• digiteen » WHS Middle School Action Planning Wiki

  The course planning wiki for the digiteen action project from my ninth graders for the middle school. They've done a nice job of planning and sharing the materials. I like their google presentation which has evolved significantly over the last three weeks.
