Archive for February, 2008OK 5SW – the “problem” we ran into with the new look is no longer a problem. The people at Edublogs helped us out! Yeah Edublogs! We owe them many thanks! Now you can check out the comments about your videos and make/encourage new ones! Happy Vacation! After completing our study of government, students are still interested in what is going on in government today. Here is one student’s take on the current campaign happenings: McCain Comes Closer to Nomination; The presidential race heated up on Wednesday night. McCain won big in Wisconsin that night, picking up 38 plus delegates. People are starting to ask, “Why is Huckabee still in the race?” Shouldn’t he just sit back and patiently wait to be chosen as McCain’s running mate? After all, even if he wins all the upcoming states by 70% to 30%, he won’t get the nomination. So what kind of trick is he playing? In my opinion, he is wasting millions of dollars on his “can’t-paign”. (Yes, I said can’t-paign.) Shouldn’t he quit while he is ahead?
The democratic race is a whole different story. Barrack Obama is carrying on his momentum to ten straight wins, and experts are now asking, is he stoppable? It certainly seems like it is his race to lose. There are 918 delegates left to win in the democratic race. Obama has 1,354 delegates, and Clinton has 1,263. The tell-all March 4th primaries are approaching, and to me it seems that Clinton is becoming increasingly negative, looking for any chink in Obama’s armor. After a week of exploring and analyzing new possibilities for our blog, the students have voted! This is the new look! Let us know what you think! Enjoy the SWirls! Here is what some students thought: Results for the Blog It was a very tight race between the third background and the fourth background; numbers four had six votes and number three had five votes, the other four trailed far behind. The first place background was black and had swirls of blue. Sadly the teachers did not get to vote. They could have made a difference. There were sad faces and happy faces that looked up at the board to see the new backdrop for the blog. How long will it stay? We’re trying a few new looks for the website!
