 * Title of Project**

II. Communication A. Use technology effectively and appropriately to interact electronically. B. Use technology to communicate information in a variety of formats.
 * Technology Standards Addressed:**

I have created an online website for the students at Walker Mill Middle School (changingillusionz.ning.com) that is used as an enhancement to all Reading Departments. Across this network, we can, but are not limited to the following actions: I. Posting videos that link directly to curriculum study for whole class viewing. (ex. Edgar Allan Poe videos and poetry.) II. Publish final drafts for peer review and constructive criticism. Creates a community for all students in the building. Removes the classroom limits. III. Upload video documentaries of athletic, academic and artistic events in the school. Allows all populations to view and appreciate events. Removes the limits for students who may not have transportation or the funds to cover certain events. IV. Absent students can still participate at home with their classmates, online. Parents, administrators and community leaders have all become a part of this positive online community.
 * Description of Project:**

The project attached was displayed on the website over the winter break. The boys basketball team participated in a tournament where they placed second. 2% of the school population participated because of the time frame in which they competed. The basketball team was allowed to choose the frames they felt highlighted their "genius." The entire ChangingIllusionz population got to view their victory through this presentation. Players, team parents, co-workers, and students all appreciated the opportunity to view the tournament.

This task seemed intimidating at first, because the program shut down my desktop and laptop computers. I had to load the computer on the computer in the lab at school and was able to finish and publish my project. ait is important to resize your pictures so that your photo story is not to large to save and enjoy later!!!!!!
