 * FEAST FORUMS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29**  at 3:15 pm in the designated locations.
 * **Hip Hop and Rocknowledgy: Using Music in the Classroom** Students can recite the lyrics to the most random of songs, so why can't they remember their vocabulary? Because those songs have a backbeat! We will learn how to use Garageband and other musical tools to reinforce the student's vocabulary and add creativity to a lesson. No previous knowledge of Garageband is required. ||  Joel Williams ||  MS140 ||  no RSVP 21 desks only ||

Did you know you can customize your tool bar so you can highlight text in your pdfs while you are projecting the document out to a Smartboard or projector? Perhaps you want to put a circle or box around something on a pdf document to quickly draw students attention to something and then decided you wanted to make a hot link to a internet site you'd like them to use that night, all this is possible. What a time saver, and I promise it is quick and easy. For those of you who already post pdf files up on your webpage and want to take it to the next level or if you are a beginner, think about checking this forum out. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Donna Becker

The game is best summed up in the saying, Go takes a moment to learn, but can never be mastered. Go is a two-person game played on a large, square, 19x19 grid of intersecting lines. One of the players uses black stones and the other takes white. In different Asian countries, Go has different names: Weiqi (wei-chi) in China, Igo (ee-go) in Japan, and Baduk (pa-tu) in Korea. Many people find the game challenging when they begin playing, but come to fall in love with the natural flow of the game as well as the finer points of strategy that accompany becoming a more experienced player.

I am using Scratch more and more with students from 6th grade through high school. It's a wonderful way to see just how much a computer can amplify your natural creative abilities. There's an online community which allows all users to share their creations (games, animations, and other cool interactive projects) with the rest of the world, and make connections with other Scratchers. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Owen Mathews || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">MS 337 || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">RSVP, limit 15 ||
