Service Day 2013


serv·ice  
/ˈsərvis/

Noun
The action of helping or doing work for someone.

Today we're going to put the brakes on our other projects and spend some time remembering Service Day. Go to weebly.com, sign in, and start a new website. This one will be simply one page and all you will need to do is drop in the blog widget.

The assignment is to write a blog entry answering the questions below. This should be written in paragraph form - not as if you are answering questions, but as if you are writing to tell something!


  1. Provide an example of Jesus serving others, provide the bible verse(s) if you know them (not required), and tell the story in your own words.
  2. Tell where you went for Service Day and the work you did, including why it was needed.
  3. Choose at least one person who spoke to you during the day – high school devotional leader, person representing the place you served, or even someone in your group – who said something you will remember, had an impact on you, or simply made you think more about the work you were doing. Tell what they said and why it was important to you or what it made you think about.
  4. It is fairly easy to see how service helps the people being served, but how do you think serving helped you?

We have now completed our Google Earth Tour of the the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and are also nearly finished with video editing in Microsoft MovieMaker. Here's a pic of the Google Maps Streetview car I encountered in my neighborhood. Very fun and cool. I wonder how it works???

Finishing Weebly Websites

Websites should be finished by the end of class Wednesday. Of course, you may continue to work on the site as the quarter progresses when you have time or with permission, but the minimum requirements for the project should be met by the end of class on Wednesday. If you finish before the end of class on Wednesday, take the time to look over your site for spelling and grammar errors, and to make sure you have met the requirements (see post below).

Once you have checked your site thoroughly and are satisfied, you can try out the critical thinking games on the media center website. After that, you can work on anything from my site. You may want to consider looking at Video Editing, Scratch, or trying out typingweb.com or nitrotype.com.
