 * 3) **Summary:** In the spring, we do a unit on historical people in the 8th grade. I incorporate this video in a reminder presentation that I give to all students at the start of this unit. I have already taught the major points of phrase searching, Boolean, and truncation. This video does an excellent job as a short reminder of what to do in web searching.

 * 7) **Reflection:** I usually use Keynote as a way to have kids make Book Talk Trailers. It is fairly easy to use, but the students can only work on projects here at school. I am currently beginning to have students create the trailers at Animoto using an education account. We are then going to link the trailers onto a Moodle site and share our creations with Blair Middle School to see which trailer does the best in portraying the Golden Sower book covered.
