Then, they will learn to upload the "glog" to a Wiki and from the Wiki view the products of their colleagues.//

// 8. GRYN'S PROJECTS //

//This project involved the novel// To Kill a Mockingbird//. After reading the novel, the students were to pick a theme or idea from the novel, write an essay, find pictures to make an iMovie, then make a glog and upload it to the class' Wiki.//

//[|Sample Student Glog]//

//This project was a creative writing project using the five senses plus making up an additional 6th sense. The students wrote an essay, using vivid language to describe a person, place or thing. Then, they were to find pictures to make an iMovie with their essays being the narration. They, then uploaded the movie to a glog, created a glog, and uploaded it the class Wiki.//

//[|Sample Student Glog]//

// After reading the tragedies,// Romeo and Juliet/ West Side Story, the students were to take a tragic scene from one of the plays and do a humorous parody of it. They first had to write the script, then create a movie using iMovie, then create a marquee using the glog publicizing the scene. Finally, the projects were uploaded to the class Wiki.
