Got an idea what we're going to be doing!

Yep. Ms. Buxton is going to be teaching a lesson on Fahrenheit 451 (she's a Language Arts teacher), so we will be conducting a WebQuest/presentation lesson on censorship issues. I worry about the lesson not being too creative, but we are just at the beginning stages of planning right now. I'd like to use the Smartboard, mainly because I've never used one before! I don't know what technologies are going to be available to me at the school, but I get the feeling that they are pretty up to speed on stuff. We shall see. I have to work within the constraints that Ms. Buxton puts on the project, but I hope to allow the students to be creative and come up with something on their own, whether it be a video or poster or what have you based on what they research with censorship. We have to tie it all back to Fahrenheit 451 ultimately, which I don't think should be too much of a problem.
