Wiki

This is the wikispaces.com site we used to make the superheroes and scripts, etc. This allowed us to better organize the writing we did, and to collaborate on the writing before putting it into the web pages. We also discussed (example) how the character was going to look in the Flash.

Videos

We each also made videos to send to our partners.

and built 'walls' of the personal introductions that we sent each other. We won't share those with you because -- well -- they're personal and have a lot of personal information.

Reflections

What did we kids think about what we had done and how we had worked together?

And what about our teachers? What did they think... about each other, about their kids, about the kids from the other schools?

We WANT to know!
