Screen Capture Scavenger Hunt

Anticipating having my students create their own student portfolios, I'm thinking about giving them meaningful ways to learn about collecting evidence from their learning.  A simple way to document this is by taking screen captures of their projects both completed and in process.  So to have some fun with it, I created a screen capture scavenger hunt which mixed a bit of fun and a bit of their current learning, and they had to place the evidence into a presentation.  I tried to build in some difficulties to mimic some of the challenges they would face when building their own portfolios and I was surprised by the resourcefulness with which some of them completed the task.

Daily 5

So here it goes--The Daily 5.  Not sure what I'm doing.  I'm going to go with 'Work On Writing' for the first day and build from there.  We'll begin with recounting narratives of what happened on the weekend.
