 * 2) <span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px;"> I feel that creating a blog for my health classes could potentially increase the amount of participation in discussions and collaborations on the more sensitive topics.

1. I like the idea of using Shahi to illustrate vocabulary words. 2. Have groups create Concept Posters using Glogster.

1. Use google scholar for students to use for online research 2. Show "Pay Attention" video to Health class and see what their thoughts technology could/should have on their education.
