It looks like you've chosen some good tools for your lesson.  Can you remind us what to focus of your lesson is again?

Thank you for asking the question of focus.  Presently, I am on leave from the classroom and I am excited to put this program in practice immediately upon my return.  As such, I am constructing my Capstone project so I may use it as a template that is "general" in form but will allow me to construct focused lessons with referrence to available technology.  I am constructing this project so I won't need to "re-create the wheel" in its entirety but pull in the tools that will be specifically helpful for a specific lesson or unit.  I teach 7/8 grade social studies.  World and US History.

It looks like you are incorporating alot of useful tools.  I like how you are using the kinesthetic respresentation.  That will for sure help the students since it's using movement etc.

It sounds like you are allowing the students to choose the graphic organizer they use, I like your flexibility!
