Helpful stuff for the digital story project

From Shmoop, some ideas regarding why BNW applies to Eugenics and to today:

*using authoring software could be helpful for creating an end of the unit culm project (ala MediatorPro, Peter Dreher article)

* http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ for making grading rubrics

Peter Dreher (English teacher) used MediatorPro in his poetry unit. Students created poetry (with pencil and paper), turned it in, wrote reviews, turned them in, collected related pictures, and put them all together into a meaningful end of the unit project. Had an open house to show off the project to other students and parents.

Reaction from class: Glad to hear that we can now do our digi stories on technology itself.
