El Dia De Quatro

Only two days left of week one exploratorium, and we are going to use it to the best of our abilities! Today, for the first part of the day, we focused on drawing.We drew pictures by hand, and then talked about drawing by hand vs. drawing on computers. As always, different people had different opinions. We talked about how this week, we had mostly been writing to communicate, but to remember that drawing is another way to communicate.

At 9:12 we are on the computers, looking at every ones blogs, and watching some videos of the Camelot exploratorium.

9:48. We learn about groups of people that are telling stories with only pictures, so we decide to do that! We each pick 6-8 pictures, and put them in a slide show, and show them to the whole class!

When we are done with that, its 11:16 and we watch a cool video.

At 11:21, Matthew shows us a really cool website. If you enter algebra problems, it solves them for you. If  you enter your birthday, it tells you all about that day. It does lots of cools things like that! Check it out!    http://www.wolframalpha.com/

After that we spent twenty minutes listening to a NPR report on face book, and then go to lunch.

We have an extended lunch so we can watch the Camelot exploratorium preform some things.

When we get back to class, we all make a twitter story. Its a story that we all wrote together in different posts, taking turns writing them from our accounts. each post had to have #story_CFS somewhere in the post, and then if you search that on Twitter, you can get our story, all in a row, and read it!

We and our fourth day drawing online. Some of us get to try out Matthew's tablet, and others will probably get to try it our tomorrow.

Our favorite video of the day today? Watch it all the way threw, because at first it's a little depressing, but it gets really good at the end!
