What I have learned so far:
Second Assignment: My Prezi- media type="custom" key="7847133" Third Assignment: My Animoto- media type="custom" key="7847255" Fourth Assignment: Global Connections- The website allAfrica.com will be the perfect introduction to Africa for my students before we delve into Joseph Conrad's //Heart of Darkness//. Students could study the history of colonization in Africa and compare that time with the state of various African countries and societies today. They can explore the difference in exports and imports, population statistics for both time periods, and the political status of various African countries and how it has changed over the history of each country being studied. This exercise will create a real connection between the reading and its relevancy to the modern world, and will help highlight the moral and philosophical questions students will be asked to consider.

Fifth Assignment: My xtranormal- media type="custom" key="7855333"

Sixth Assignment: media type="custom" key="7848547" media type="custom" key="7855193"

Etc.:
My thoughts on the process-
 * As usual, I was nervous before trying each of these activities; it was worth it every time
 * I think wikis are just one more way for students and teachers to converse in a creative space
 * I have learned that what I fear is exactly what my students can help me with, and I know that they will amaze me with these technologies
