The Importance of Student Choice
With the development of web 2.0 tools and software programs teachers have the opportunity to allow for student choice in production and presentation formats that was not possible in the past. This allows students to develop the skills to use many different tools, as well as the ability to make decisions on how material is presented most effectively. During their study of Great Expectations, the students created a "life map" using a variety of these tools.

Making Writing Personal
Ms. White's seventh grade writing class learned how to use Prezi to develop a imaginative presentation. The students were told to imagine that they would be given two weeks off of school to visit any place they wanted to in the world. The catch was that they had to convince the school administration that their trip would benefit their education! The students researched and prepared their Prezi, and then made their presentations on Wednesday.
