I really liked this presentation. It is evident that it was well thought out. One thing that could be addressed is the effect of global warming on our weather. The older students may have been affected by hurricane Katrina and so this may possibly interest them.

This presentation was very information intensive, which I enjoy. I also thought that a paper and a test were an interesting feature. I had to go through it twice to absorb it all and I thought it was worth while.

I did find all the different fonts a little distracting.

I can tell the effort put forth by this group was evident with the clean lines of this presentation. From the graphical representations to the entire flow of the slides, the presentation was very streamlined to many different learners. I thought there was a great deal of information about the topic and that is what was needed for the project, but I would try to make concise bullets with information so that it is easier to access and then more detailed information after the bulleted information.

I think that this presentation was rather informative. I think that all schools should be teaching their children to start going green as it is the new way of life and without it our world and our generation would just die.

Great job group 4!! After looking at this presentation it is clearly well thought out and has some great ideas. I love the idea of using a social network such as facebook to include the community in the school's endeavor. The only issue with that would obviously be getting something like that unblocked in the school. I suppose that would have to be something done at home to get the word out. Overall, this is a great start and I think you could definitely work with this idea in the future.

• An important aspect of your collaboration is having the students reach out to potential partners in the community to effect real change.

• You’ve listed a great deal of Web 2.0 programs to use in your project. It may be helpful to the presentation viewers to have more of a specific idea as to how each of those technologies would be used.

• I would be interested in specific projects on how the students would be conserving energy and natural resources.

I really like this idea for a project. I felt that your presentation was relatively thorough without being too long. I would just recommend that you give some more specific ideas for projects, such as encouraging people to use public transportation, etc. Go to www.onebillionbulbs.com. Its a great resource and online organizational tool for an energy saving project.

Kudos Group 4!! This was a well-thought out presentation. I liked that you provided specific explanations with regard to your presentation on the EEV Key Elements Addressed section. I also thought that the hyperlinks were a great way to actively engage the students. Overall, I cannot think of too much I’d change on this presentation except maybe more specific ideas relating to the technology use. Again, bravo!

I like the topic and think the project serves a good purpose. We want students to care about the environment and make responsible decisions. I also like the green background on the slides.

Some of the slides were hard to read. I would make the font bigger on some slides and try to avoid putting too much content on one slide.

I like the idea of having a place where students can post pictures and suggestions about ways to help out however I would be concerned about giving students access at whatever age to facebook or myspace for a school-related project. I like the idea that the students will create a final project with the goal of actually impacting their community. Maybe you could also add how students can specifically get their families to “go green” at home. They could also petition the principal or superintendent to “go green” at school. They could begin a school-wide campaign

The goals and objectives for this project were clearly stated. I think the concept of "Going Green" is universal and would be appropriate for any age group. getting community members involved in the project is a wonderful idea, which I think students would find highly motivating. Perhaps the program "Kidspiration"could be used to graph the various ways students can "Go Green" both at home and in school?

This is a very well thought out presentation. I love the idea of making a facebook profile for the environment and have students become "friends" of the environment. What a great way to connect with the students and the hobbies and interests that they have!

This was a great presentation. It was very informative and well thought out. I believe there were good activities for the students to look do but adding some others could have also been helpful. I like how much information was there but graphic organizers could have made it more visually appealing.

I enjoyed this presentation. I think it was precise and to the point. I think one way it could be improved is by showing the long term effects if we do not "go green." I like how they did not use too many colors. It made it more visually appealing.
