I think that I had goose bumps this whole week at school!  We started our new social studies unit on “Power” and decided as a class that the Holocaust is a fabulous example of Power and how it can be used and abused in any situation.  Our class unit blog is up and running and I have all my students with “academic only” gmail accounts.  They love it because their parents can use the same email and it’s primary use is for school purposes.  The kids have started blogging – some more naturally than others – but they are getting there.  I even had a parent ask to post to the blog!  I embedded a Voki on the sidebar and they love it – most have created their own Vokiand are constantly looking for more web 2.0 tools to play around with.  I am having trouble embedding the Voki into my post though, so if anyone has some tips please pass my way.  Now I have to run and get my Animotoholocaust vid ready for Monday’s class!  I love school. 

p.s.  and my students do too!!
