I would use this concept map for a baseline to begin a sociological case study about the movie made based on the S.E. Hinton book "the Outsiders". This will be used by high school students to demonstrate their knowledge of socioloigcal in coordination with a case study and apply to characters in said study.

1.  In this movie there are two groups the Greasers and the Socs the kids will examine the characters movement towards deviant behavior.
2. This is an assignment done at the end of a unit on social deviance.
3. Students will be given this concept map and asked to complete it continuing on with character connections and additional theory application.
4. This concept map will be used in association with th video.
5. Upon completion it would be used as a plan to complete a writing based upon sociological theory and the character presentation in the movie.
6. This writing along with the concept map will be used by students to demonstrate their knowledge of the topics pertaining to social deviance.

Getting Jingy with it.

I find screencasting very useful and interesting. My first thought was the ability to post visual directions on my eboard. That is the ability to recreate classroom directions on my eboard. A great "how to" tool.

Google Maps Lesson

 The Virtual Field Trip. I would use google maps to have students explore colonial Williamsburg. I would include important points of interest to the development of Colonial America. The students would be able to take a virtual walking tour of the town and record the important historical data as they go. In a single class many different maps could be shared with different groups. Each individual group could share their data from the multiple virtual field trip.
