I really like learning about new technology and how I can use it in the classroom. I would like to be able to put the Intel stuff to good use in most of my classes some how. I think it would be a great learning tool for most year levels.
 * Reflection**


 * What I found interesting.......** was that it was so simple to use, yet so effective in getting everyone to think deeply about the information given to them.

I have been thinking long and hard about this. But it came to me when i was playing around with it. I think I will use it in my Year 11 Chemistry class, (Periodic Table and the Atomic Theory). That part of the unit is very dull and boring, hopefully this will make it more relative and interesting to the students.
 * Where will I use it?**

This week I was able to go further with my topic that has already been chosen. The topic is the Periodic Table. I have decided these activites will work with most of the unit, but not all of it. The students often know what the patterns are in the periodic table, but don't know how to explain it. I think the giving evidence part of the program will help the students understand the why and how.
 * Week 2 **

My questions that I have come up with so far:
 * Essential Question:** When will this end? (don't know about this one....might change it)
 * Unit Question:** How can we classify elements in the periodic table? How has the atomic theory developed since being discovered?
 * Content Question:** What patterns can be identified in the Periodic Table? Who developed the plum pudding theory?

N&L ROCKS DEEFAN!!!! You know you love it!!
