Danielle Carniaux's Interview
I interviewed my 11-year-old sister, Simone, and documented the interview and reflection in Google Presentation. It was my first time using Google Presentation so it's pretty simple in design. I had no idea that Google had so many awesome tools. Simple and awesome! Check it out below, and make sure you turn on the volume. media type="custom" key="12545356"

Rebeka Smith's Interview
I interviewed a shy ELL student from my homeroom who shares how comfortable she is with the internet including internet safety. It began as a voice memo on my iphone, to a podcast, and developed into a Voice Thread. Good thing I learned a lot along the way after bumping into all of those dead ends!

For my interview I talked with one of my more outspoken and tech-savvy 6th graders.
