Wrap up on the presentations

During the last class period we reflected on what skills were learned in the process of completing the presentations.

"Learned to research things on the web better, because before I was really bad at it and my dad would make fun of me for it. It’s a lot easier to find things, now I know how to search."

"I’ve never been the one to pick up the slack, I’ve always been the slacker, but with this project I picked up the slack."
