Having time to work on our project is really helpful... Big6 is in our brains, and if we have questions, the flesh-n-blood references are right there. Besides, Sally and I probably wouldn't have (or make) the time outside the school day to get this much planning done! :D
Critically thinking about websites at 4th grade shouldn't be too hard if we keep it in perspective... because even if they leave 4th grade aware of the fact that not everything on the web is "good" to use for research and that they should doubt the source unless there's a good reason to trust it.... then we've done our part of their K-12 technology curriculum.

Yes, Jay, instilling a healthy dose of doubt is a great start for 4th graders. They'll be on their way to being critical thinkers.
Steve and I felt project time was appropriate, as we are half way through the class and the terminology and process hopefully are making some sense to people now.
See you Thursday. Good luck wiki-ing today!
