 * Week 2 Powerpoint:**

Courtney's Review-I thought the Powerpoint was really good. It was visually appealing and well organized without being too cluttered. All of the buttons worked correctly and it was saved in the proper format. The Powerpoint looked professional and I believe it would be fun for students and help them to learn the differences between there, they're, and their.

Brantley's Review - I thought your Powerpoint was very neat and really informative overall. It had a nice clean feel to it and the information was kept to a minimum in order to eliminate any instance of clutter which would make it extremely easy for a 5th grader to follow. All of the buttons worked correctly and the sounds were in sync with their respective pages. The content was well in line with the grade level that you chose and I think that students would legitimately learn a great deal just from this presentation alone. Good job!

A Presentation on Diversity
 * Picasa Movie:**

Brantley's Review - I really liked your movie on diversity. The video works correctly, the transitions worked, and the pictures matched the theme very well. You've definitely shown that you know how to construct a professional and clean looking movie using Picasa. Good job.

Courtney's Review- Your movie on diversity was very good. The video showed up and the transitions and music all worked. The pictures you chose worked well with the theme. Overall, I thought it was a good video and you showed your ability to use Picasa.



Short Fiction Story
 * WebQuest:**

Courtney's Review-Your WebQuest was really good. I liked the idea of having the students pretend they are authors. I think the students would find this WebQuest interesting and it would allow them to be creative. The WebQuest was easy to follow and well written. The overall presentation was very good, neat, and professional. Good job.

Brantley's Review - Your WebQuest was very well done. I liked the story you created that simulated the students being authors themselves. This would definitely grab their attention and allow them to be more creative than if you were to just give them a simple writing assignment. The directions were very clear, the task is clearly defined, and the content was age appropriate. The pictures included also add a nice visual effect to the lesson as a whole. Overall, this WebQuest was constructed very well. Good job!

YouTube
 * Windows Movie Maker Video**

Brantley's Review: I really like your video on the different books to read for book review. All of the titles were grade appropriate and I really like the way the music complemented to subject area. The transitions also added a nice touch to the movie and I think that overall this would help spark some initial interest in these books before your students had to read them. Good job!

Courtney's Review- I thought your video was very good. I thought it was a great idea to use the video to present all the different books the students would be reading throughout the quarter. Everything was appropriate for grade level and worked well. All the transitions were smooth and the music worked. Overall, I thought it was a creative idea to catch students interests about the books they will be reading.

Solving for Variables
 * VoiceThread**

Courtney Phelps Peer Review Jay, Christina, and Allison, You all did a great job on your VoiceThread. I really liked how you showed the students how to do the equation with the drawing tool! I think this would be a great video to use in the classroom in the future to introduce a lesson or something of that sort. All the transitions were smooth! Great job!

media type="file" key="SUDDUTH203.mp3" width="240" height="20" Courtney's Review-Your podcast was very well done. The audio was clear and well understood and the intro and exit music worked well. I believe this would be a good lesson for fourth grade students to help them understand figurative language. This would be a great for students to be able to listen to for review while they are doing their homework or studying for at test. Good job!
 * Podcast**

Brantley's Review - I really liked your podcast. The intro music was very upbeat and immediately grabbed my attention! I liked the way you went into detail about the three different types of figurative language. You were thorough enough to provide your students with a good understanding what each element entailed but also brief enough as to not lose their attention completely. Providing an actual example of each one would also be very helpful to your students as they would be able to constantly check back with the podcast to compare your example with homework questions or to study for an upcoming. Overall, your podcast was very well done and would undoubtedly be useful in a language arts classroom!
