Wednesday 2/16/11

This week we will be using Voki Avatars to summarize the unit on biochemistry.  For those who are unfamiliar with Voki avatars, just look to your right and you'll see a Voki that I created especially for this blog.  Click the play button to hear the Voki speak a special message.

Yesterday students were assigned a vocabulary term to summarize or essential question to answer.  Today students began creating their Voki avatars.  We will watch all the avatars next week in preparation for our unit test. Please get the username and password from Ms. Sanders for your class period.
