Tech Integration And 9/11

I found the kids I was working with (7th and 8th graders) not really into discussing the topic. I thought I had a good plan-archived movies I had from ny1 of the ceremonies of the past years as a push into the content
This was followed with utilizing the NYTimes excellent "Portraits of Grief" series that I saved in acrobat and the CNN database of victims. The kids had to toggle between the site and word and just write a story about a person that interested them. I also tried to capture some of their memories on audio, but I guess I'm no David Isay. Here's the results in a slide show form. The last slide (Arlene) must have lived in either Knickerbocker Village or Al Smith Houses
