Friday July 10th - The End of the 3rd Week

Again great job everyone. I have had so much fun working with you during this class. Today's assignment will be short and sweet. I would like some feedback on the course so that I have ideas for the future. Please create a new post on YOUR blog and title it Class Feedback. In your post please write things that you liked about the class and things that you would change if you were in charge. Please do not just write one word answers. Explain what you liked and why and explain what you would change and why. Also let me know how you feel about our field trips for next week. For example do you feel confident in your skills with a GPS to find all the Geocaches. When you are finished check out your classmates blogs and post comments if you see something you like.

Have A Super Friday and a Great Weekend
