 * __Welcome to the Kiski Area General Chemistry Wiki Page__. The students were asked to create a "Myspace-like" page for the element that is assigned to them as they walk into the door the first day of school. Since my room is set up like the periodic table, the student becomes the element and we personify the element throughout the year. In order to incorporate technology into our classroom and since we have access to 30 laptops in our room, we felt this project was a great way to modernize a required assignment to describe an element. I think the students enjoyed this project compared to creating a poster. It also allowed them to use an online network for school purposes and showed them how to save files and send attachments on an email (This was not something they were familiar with surprisingly). I enjoyed the excitement the students showed especially when they had to "become" their element and pick a song that represented their element the best. **=====
