We are having the students copy and paste into a Word document, though, so they can type directly under the picture. :) Thanks for commenting. Kevin, that’s exactly how I got them on there.

I have to admit that I think my old age was showing when I first looked at the Scary Spud site. I really didn't care for the site at all. But instead of going with my knee jerk reaction I waited awhile, went back and took another look, and realized how much easier this was going to be for the students. My classes just finished their spuds today. They loved it! I'm amazed at how much we got accomplished in a 40 minute class period. And the groups worked well together. Tomorrow we begin the writing process. I think I have it broken down into small enough steps that we'll be successful! I am glad that we started out small. I've done projects before with my class in which we did a tech related assignment and then sent it to the person hosting the project. That person uploaded it and that was it. We could go back and look at other projects but there was no true collaboration. Don't get me wrong, they were good projects and when I was in the regular classroom they were a great way for me to make sure I was using the technology. But this is the first time I'm actually working with another class. We're off to a good start. The kids are excited and so am I! Thanks Amber for getting this project going!
