Mr. Smedberg, Mrs. Staples, Mrs. Christensen's classes...

Specifics are below;

Technology fair is offered as 100 extra credit points. I will show you past examples in class.  A winning school project is on my CyberCyence site called "Salt Does not Melt Ice". (P.S. The quicktime movies may not play in the media center.)  They won 2nd plance in the district competion.

The following is a list of the more popular software and other materials I have for your use;

• Digital Microscopes
• iMovie and digital video camera
• Inspirations (concept maps and other detailed graphics)
• PowerPoint (presentation software)
• Dreamweaver (much more advanced to make a web page)
• Fireworks (for graphics animated graphics)
• Microsoft Office (Word, Brochure, Newsletter, Web page, Catalog, Menu)
• Sound Studio (to edit any type of sounds. Including your own voice)
• The best projects are a combination of the above
  • For example make a short iMovie and graphic (using inspirations) and import it into your PowerPoint presentation website.

Many students claim they do not want to do this project because they do not know how to use the software.  Please do not use that excuse - this is the perfect time to learn! That is the reason for the laptops! I never knew how either.

What ever you make might be displayed on my web site and possibly in a future technology fair. You may not include student faces, last names or any other personal information about you, or your classmates.

The content of your project must be realted to what we are studying in class at some point during the year.  It must be related to the state science core.  Links to the core on my home page.
