11/5 Hours 1.5 Comments Angela, sounds like you have a good focus for this class. Remind me to have Skip put the new software on your laptop.

11/12 Hours 2 hrs Comments I had the activision software down loaded, and I researched campaign ads since the 1950's. I spent some time researching moodle, but i am not sure that I want to use that tool. I am going to familiarize myself with the Promethean software and create a campaign and election lesson that can be interactive. Right now I am trying to organize my ideas and figure which topic is most important for me to tackle first. Just let me know what you need when you are ready.
