We used a Tweet Chat with author Tiffany Trent as our kick-off for TRW:

Picture
Here is a part of the conversation between the teens and Tiffany Trent. We used the hashtag #TRW11chat so others could follow along.
Picture
The president of Boomarked took control of the computer and typed in the questions for the students.
Picture
Here are a few of the students who participated in the tweet chat.

The Games and Contests are always a big hit: 

Picture
There were only 739 Sour Patch Kids in the jar. The five students who came closest to that number won an author signed book.
Picture
Even Ms. Kahn took a turn to play the game: The picture is the clue, do you know the answer. Students could play once daily to win a prize through out the week.
Picture
In this game the students had to answer a question about a character or title of a book or a movie. There was a picture as a clue for each question.
Picture
Members of Bookmarked helped create the questions and answers for this game.

The students used Dumpr.net to picture themselves somewhere out of the ordinary:

Picture
Learning to use Dumpr was a piece of cake.
Picture
It took two days, but everyone who wanted to make a picture got a chance to make one.
Picture
Imagine if you were an egg.
Picture
Green, that is a becoming color on these two.
Picture
This looks like a real pencil drawing, but it started as a photograph.
Picture
One of the students put a drawing that she did into dumpr rather than a photograph. Look how the lines from the notebook paper added interest to the picture.

Wall of the Future:

Picture
Where do you picture yourself in 20 years?
.....as a nurse in California
.....as a cartoonist in New Orleans
.....as a photographer living everywhere
.....as an artist in Japan
.....as an engineer in a small town
.....as an animator in Disney World
.....as a creative writer in Prague
.....as a dolphin trainer in New Orleans
as you can see the students have many ambitions and will live all over the world
