Geek News!

Posted by on

Each day a student (or students) will deliver Geek News. A short presentation of a recent technology related video or news article. The presentation can contain links to an article on the internet or to a video. It must have a technology theme but does not have to be limited to computers. It should be a recent article (within the last month-unless it is related to a topic we are covering in class). It cannot be a repeat of another students Geek News presentation. Please read the article or be familiar with the video so you can answer any questions that is asked. Your Geek News article should be placed on your Weebly page (or web blog).
