It's always fun to pal around with you; especially because you are so open to new things. You're not only one of my good friends, but my experimental playground. :)

Great job with the whole project, David. But I beg to differ that it wasn't tied to the high-stakes test. This type of activity most certainly is tied to testing. If teachers taught like this all the time and truly and deliberately tied in the standards, then students would not need to practice the test. They would be prepared for the tests because they would know the material... oh yeah! Remember those days, when we taught and the kids knew the material and then they showed what they knew? And we didn't spend 170 practicing test taking skills? I say, FEH, to anyone who doesn't get it. You get it! And I believe, despite all the pressure from above, your principal gets it too.
Congratulations on a job well done!

David,
Congrats on planting a flag here to claim you place in the EduSphere. I hope to follow your lead soon. I'll admit I'm still wrapping my brain around what it means to have a digital footprint.
I look forward to reading more about how technology dovetails into your teaching.
