Thing 10 Digital Age Assessment

When I was student teaching a unit on the Roman empire for 9th grade world history I had students put "Rome" on trial to try to ascertain what the main reason was for the fall of the Western Roman empire. To make this more 21st century, I would love to have them make their case with a Prezi. Then I would love to have them do peer evaluations on Google Docs. To top it off (I am huge fan of student reflection), I would have them reflect on the activity in an ongoing blog as well (possibly Kidblog).
