		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to show a video from the National Geographic YouTube channel to a World Cultures class. Typically, I just link to the video, and when it opens in a browser I launch the full screen option before playing. However, the comments that were associated with this video were not so nice and I did not want the students to see the language onscreen before I played the clip. I need to launch into full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My lesson today focused on how history and outside influences have affected the Middle East. The focus was the modernization of three nations &#8211; Egypt, Turkey and Iran. In advance I created a presentation in PowerPoint that summarized the main ideas in the text. Finally, I wanted the students to reflect on the content and given a series of self-questioning stems, generate one question that they still needed answered based on the content. We were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I tried something different with one of the assigned textbook sections. I created a Google doc with several main ideas and then listed a few bullet items beneath each. Students were asked to find supporting details from their text, the web, etc. for each of the ideas. In the end, we would have a single, collaborative document with lots of information. My original idea was to have only one computer for each question [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been using Google Docs with my students for a couple of things and have enjoyed the sharing and collaboration they provide. Today I shared a spread sheet and asked the class to enter some data on the document. It wasn&#8217;t long before I noticed the chat feature wan in use by some students. &#8220;Hooray!&#8221;, I thought. They can work together and coordinate a strategy for completing the task without getting out of their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was sorting through papers crammed in a shelf when I found an bingo sheet that was created by a teacher years ago. On the page was a 5&#215;5 grid with random vocabulary terms in each block an image in the center square. For a moment I laughed at the document, but then got to thinking about how I might use this as a quick review with my classes. Since the start of the year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used a scanner recently to copy a document and turn it into a PDF. No problems there. However, when I went to use Adobe Acrobat 9 to copy some of the text for use in another document, I couldn&#8217;t do it. I was stumped. I tried several different means, such as trying to click and drag across the text, exporting the document as a Word file, text file, etc., but my efforts were fruitless. [...]]]></description>
