I am making an hourglass cat toy. I thing for materials, wood would be best. I will also need string or coloured ribbons.

April 23rd - Wow has it been that long since my last visit? Here is the focus today:


 * What do you know? What do you want to know? How are you going to find out?**

April 16th 2009 I plan to invent something that organizes or helps someone organize things. I think some kind of organizer for drinks or glasses or something of the sort. It will likely be relatively small.

April 2nd. 2009
 * 1. You will be exploring a da Vinci inspired topic, of your choice, and going into great detail. What subject or subjects are you interested in?**

//I would enjoy inventing something.//


 * 2. What interests you about your subject? Why is it something you want to know more about?**

//I am interested in going through the processes of creating and inventing something original. I want to know more about how to invent something and all the steps.//


 * 3. Would you rather work individually or in a group? And what is the largest group that you would be interested in working in?**

//I would enjoy both by myself and in a group, both are fine with me. If I were in a group, I would probably like to be in a small group, one with two or three members including myself.//


 * 4. Look at the images on the In-Class page for March 12th. For each of the levels/skills on Blooms Taxonomy that we discussed, use the key words in the image to tell us some of the things that you might do in your wiki assignment, in order to demonstrate each of the Skills.**

Remember/Understand: //I might learn about other inventions, figure out how they were made and where the idea came from.//

Apply: //I might experiment with creating all sorts of things.//

Analyze: //I might compare my research and experiments with others'.//

Evaluate: //I might discuss my ideas with others so I could chose better what to create.//

Create: //I might combine my ideas with others' so I could invent something even better.//
