Energy Resources-- Thursday

Enjoy this interactive "lab time". Today, you will explore numerous kinds of resources that pertain to energy. Please respect everyone who is seated around you, and view the sites on your own with your headphones on because there will be sound. No paper will be required, but I am circulating around the lab to make sure you are doing your best.

You have 45 minutes to visit all the websites below. Please take your time.

Jasztal's Tech Spotlight-- Tellagami!

Jasztalvillians-- Do you have a tablet? If so, try downloading a wonderful interactive app called Tellagami! You make an avatar (and choose a "mood" as well) to represent yourself and then record your voice or type in words to dictate your narration. You can choose the background, also, to personalize your animation as much as possible.

Let me know if you are trying this! "Sound off" in the comments section!
