Halloween Power Point Practice
The frenzy of sugar laced lollipops and caramel covered chocolate bars is making students creative juices flow....
We are reviewing the aspects of Powerpoint and creating Persuasive Halloween presentations.
We are also finding out what constitutes 'good' websites and what makes them reliable or unreliable.
8th graders are doing research on an unsolved mystery of their choice and will be soon creating short videos using Animoto.

What Would You Do?
Fan who caught Freese's walk-off homer in Game 6 of the World Series gave it back. He could have kept it and possibly could have fetched thousands in a bidding war.
Read and watch video here
Not all of the fans go for the memorabilia. While a fan returned the ball Mark McGwire hit to break Roger Maris' record with homer number 62, another fan sold McGwire's homer number 70 for $3 million. Barry Bonds' record setting homer was sold for $752,000 by a fan. (www. abcnews.go.com)
What would you do if you caught a home run ball in a World Series Game? Keep it or return it? Explain!!

RIP Steve Jobs

Sent a letter to the owner of Hewlett-Packard in high school asking him for some computer parts. Got a summer job there the next summer. Worked at a video game company called Atari. Never finished college. Started Apple Computers, a $351 million dollar company in a garage with money loaned from his parents. His salary was only $1 a year. You may not have known Steve Jobs, but you know his products. How has Steve Jobs affected your life? Or shall I say his products?
