Unique Shakespeare

As a group we were able to find this website: http://www.pbs.org/shakespeare/educators/technology/casestudy2.html. This is a lesson plan that we found to be very benficial if applied to the right age group which we thought eigth grade and up would fit. Using technology, like a video camera to record a play done by the students could even be extended to have them then create a movie trailer for the play by using the footge.

Basic Software in Education

I had a marketing teacher in high school who used the basic software excel to teach us how to do budgets. We did a whole unit on how to use and create spreadsheets to manage both our personal and professional budgets. I enjoyed the lessons, because I was able to apply what I was learing directly to my life, and the budget I created actually did assist me manage my money in high school, and helped me prepare to make budgets for college as well :)
