Finalizing our Edmodo Posts- Adding to a dialogue that never ends

The Online Learning Environment, the Holocaust, and 8.2

Our online learning environment experience with the Holocaust continues this week. I have featured a small sample of what our students have generated.  (Parents/ Guardians who would like to have a parent code to view the entire library of student work can contact me.)  It has been such a great experience to read thoughts like this regarding the Holocaust.  Students have been using their packets, finding themes, and reflecting in the purest way about the Holocaust.  The flipped classroom has resulted in a stunningly vibrant array of intellectual colors, thoughts, hues on the Holocaust.  

Our work is featured below.  For students who have not submitted their at home copies of the Social Studies book, please submit them as soon as possible.

All best.
