  13. For this activity you will use the internet to search for math graphics and videos on a AKS of your choice. You will save your findings in a self-created folder with your name on it. Once you have at least 5 graphics and 2 videos, we will use it to create a Stixy. Activity

  14. Logon to www.Wallwisher.com/wall/smcdow and respond to the command on the wall that I created. How could you incorporate Wallwisher in your lessons? Share your ideas with your group. Activity

  15. Create two lesson plans using either Prezi, Wallwisher, Stixy, Xtranormal or a combination of the four for an AKS that you will be teaching this school year. • At least one lesson plan should give the students the opportunity to use the online resources. • The assessment will be evaluated using the provided rubric.
