Dear 223 ILT Families,
       Will little blog-traffic this year, we did not utilize our 223 Class Blog very often.  However, I wanted to be sure we had some closure to our year.  We wrapped up the 6th grade ILT course with a review of Digital Citizenship.  Students reviewed and researched what it means to use technology responsibly--digital citizenship, Internet safety, and cyber bully awareness and prevention.  Students transformed notes into a PSA (public service announcement).  We were treated to essays, animated stories using Toontastic and Flipbook-ish, videos using iMovie and Movie Maker, Photo Story 3, slide shows, and comic strips.  It was wonderful to watch how tech-savvy these students have become in 10 months.
         I have truly enjoyed our 180-day learning adventure through the digital world, and wish all of my students a fun-filled summer and great success in 7th grade.

Ms. Thackston-Dodge
