Goodbye Middle School

This week was my last week visiting the middle school. It was so sad to know that I would be leaving them. On my last day I did get to see them using their IPods. They were broken up into groups and given an assignment based on a person in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Black Cabinet. They were given a member of the cabinet and had to find at least five facts about that person.  Most of the groups used their time wisely and easily found enough facts. However, there were some groups who had difficulty finding all the facts they needed, but overall they seemed to work well in their groups and with the technology. The main problem with the IPods would be the wireless connection making the internet really slow, but most of the students are use to this and deal with it the best that they can. I will miss visiting their class and seeing how well they incorporate new technology with their schoolwork.
