Day+2

=Sharing Research on the Supreme Court - What have we learned?=

__**Objectives**__ Students will be able to - research a topic of personal interest on the Supreme Court - evaluate a variety of internet resources for research - organize research findings on to a Mind Map using the program Inspiration - present research findings within the classroom and virtually using video chat - summarize researched and shared information on the Supreme Court by creating a Glog

__**Part 1 - Reflection and finalizing project**__ Opener: In your virtual notebooks answer the following prompt: what did you learn about researching yesterday? How was this different from how you have done research in the past? How is this group project different from ones you have done in school before? Share this information with a partner, and summarize their reflections underneath yours in BOLD

Step 1 - Finish any research you still need to do on your topic. Finish your Mind Maps, add pictures, color, personalize, etc


 * Save** your Mind Map, and also **save as a picture** using Alt Print Screen, paste it into Paint, then save it as a JPEG. **Upload** the picture file on to your Supreme Court page in your notebook, and title it "Mind Map on the Supreme Court."



__**Part 2 - Sharing your Mind Maps**__

Activity 1 - Small group sharing Once you have saved your Mind Maps, **browse through** the other Mind Maps within your tables by clicking on their notebook links. You will use the information you have learned for the next activity

Activity 2 - Sharing with the other classroom using Google Video Chat

You will now share your Mind Map with a student in the other room, through a **video discussion**! Since sometimes reading "lol" doesn't deliver the same punch as actually hearing your friend laugh at your jokes, you can now use voice and video capabilities in your Gmail chat. From within these services, you can have an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or even chat face to face over video.

Watch the video below to see how it works: media type="file" key="Gmail voice and video chat.MP4" width="300" height="300"

Here's what you'll need to get started:
 * Download the voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in (Accept the plug-in at the top of your browser)
 * Sign in to Gmail
 * In your chat list, select the contact you want to call. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more. Open you gmail account then download Video Chat:

You will chat with the student in the other room who has the **same laptop number as you**. Check the list below

Summer Program Student List

Once you have found the name of the student you will video chat with, you will need to **add their email address to your chat contacts**: To invite a friend to chat in Gmail: Alternatively, you can click **Add Contact** at the bottom of the Chat area, enter your friend's username, and then click **Send Invites**.
 * 1) In the 'Search, add, or invite' box at the top of the Chat area, type your friend's username. If they're already in your Contacts, Gmail will pre-populate their username.
 * 2) Click **Invite to chat**.
 * 3) In the window that appears, click **Send Invites**. A yellow notification banner lets you know your invitation has been sent successfully.

Chat away!

Activity 3 - Class Share and Reflection Who wants to share their Mind Map with the class?? Walk us through it! What did you think of the video chat? How can we use this in school?

Activity 2 - Create a Glog Individually, you will create a summary of what you have learned about the Supreme Court so far. You will create this using a website called Glogster and you will create a Glog

Step 1 Open the following link in a new tab: Glogster.com

Scroll down to the bottom of the front page to read what Glogster is and what you can create with it. Basically, this is a digital way to create a poster, using pictures, text, music, and videos.

Step 2 Scroll back up to the top right and click on Register. Register and create an account. Your nickname should be your first name and the first letter of your last name, the same as it is on your virtual notebooks. Ex) GeorgeW

Step 3 You will be brought to a page called "My Dashboard." You will not do anything with this page right now. Click back to the the home page of Glogster

Step 4 Before you create your own glog, spend some time searching through the site and looking at examples. Search through the best and fresh glogs for today. At the top of the page, click on "Categories" and search through the "Movers and Shakers" as well as the "School" category.

Step 5 Now click on "Create your own glog" and begin! Have fun, be creative. Your glog will demonstrate what you have learned about the Supreme Court from this week. Use the editing tools on the left hand side of the page

Step 6 Once you have created your glog, click on "save and Publish." Name your glog, and tag it for school.

Step 7 Next you will be asked "What next?" You will save your link to your notebook, and also email a copy to yourself. Lastly, you will link your glog to the Glog page on the website below:

Step 8 After everyone has posted their glogs, you will look at the glogs of the other students at your table.
