8 is Great

Super excited about having the Dells in the room along with the Ipads - the kids need to be able to work on both a PC and Mac.  I am planning an Andy Rooney project along with the persuasion unit and the kids can use the Dell camera as well as I movie - great to know we have additional tools.

AND learned how to sync the classroom Ipads off my teacher Ipad

Regarding classroom management - the kids are really good about using the technology.  Currently I have a cow with 20 Macs that they have used off and on all year.  They are good citizens and take good care of them.  As 8th graders I don't feel like they should be micro managed.  The expectations for behavior were set at the beginning of the year.  "it is important to have clear guidelines and procedures in place so students know and understand the expectations for classroom use." Agreed.

ALLUSIONS: MAKE sure you have the correct Definitions for Holocaust TERMS on your notes

BIBLICAL Allusions/definitions PASSOVER In the  Book of Exodus , God helped the  Israelites  escape from slavery in  ancient Egypt  by inflicting  ten plagues  upon the Egyptians before the  Pharaoh  would release the Israelite slaves. The last of the plagues was the  death of the Egyptian first-born . The Israelites were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a slaughtered spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord knew to  pass over  the first-born in these homes, hence the English name of the holiday scapegoat 1:  a goat upon whose head are symbolically placed the sins of the people after which he is sent into the wilderness in the biblical ceremony for Yom Kippur 2a:  one that bears the blame for others b:  one that is the object of irrational hostility Liberated Israelites Liberated from Slavery: The “exodus” to designate the deliverance of the...
