7 Random Facts Activity


Today I am presenting a technology training session titled Blogging with Students.  One of the concepts we are discussing is Internet safety when you are blogging.  I read about this 7 Random Facts Activity in the book Making Connections with Blogging:  Authentic Learning for Today's Classroom by Lisa Parisi and Brian Crosby.  It is a great activity to help students learn about information that is appropriate for them to share online and information they should never share.  As part of the training,  we are creating our own '7 Random Facts' so we are ready with a model for the students.

Here are 7 random facts about me:
  1. I don't like venison.
  2. I have been to Canada once and Mexico twice.
  3. I like to cross-stitch.
  4. I went to 6 different grade schools.
  5. I was born on the first day of school.
  6. I love real Wisconsin cheese curds.
  7. I love the smell of a brand new book.
Please leave a comment with your 7 random facts.
