I learned that students from Hotchkiss are making their classmates bring in cup from their house so they don’t waste paper cups or plastic bottles.  I think this is a good idea for LREI.  I know in the lower grades like kindergarten the kids bring in their own cups.  I think we should carry that on in the rest of the school.  I don’t think that most of the kids will agree with this but I think the principals will.  Some of the teachers at LREI have water bottles and that might inspire the kids to bring their own cup or bottle to school,  I don’t think we learned much from the kids at Hotchkiss.  The only thing I learned was what I stated earlier.  It doesn’t seem like these kids are very committed to their project.  Also the technology made it difficult.  The responses lagged.  I want to ask my group members what they thought of the video chat.  I didn’t speak with them a lot about that.  I wonder if they agree with me?
