Here are the points i am going to make about the blog and then QA. I would like to try to show a 2:20 video of the QA legend. I am going to time myself to see if I can fit it in...i am not sure. I will post it on here and the wiki anyway in case i can't show it and the people from our class want to see it. ANYWAY...here are my points...

BLOG
I am going to show how we used it to communicate about the project
Show that it is free and easy to use (to embed videos and pictures)
Great way to get your students to read outside of the classroom
Explain how I have used a blog in my class

QA
Very safe and protected online virtual environment
promotes learning and growth
promotes collaborative efforts (kids from all over the world can work together!)
allows for the use of online media
provides teachers with great resources, like lesson plans
there are quests for all subect areas (that deal with real life problems)
Each quest requires a written response, which is sent to the teacher for review
promotes reading and writing growth for students without them even realizing it!
*I also have the intro/legend video that i want to show in the beginning if i have time. I am going to practice it with the video to see if i have time, if not i will scratch it.
