Tech Integration Ideas from Dianne
 * As a culminating project, I suggest that students have pages in their books/movies for all levels of heros that were covered: Family, School, Local, National, Global.
 * They should pick 1-3 people to highlight on each page - with photos and captions as to why they are heros to them.
 * The book should end with a picture of the student and a paragraph about what it means to be a hero to them and how they can be a hero to others.
 * Use of a wiki to compile all the students' books.
 * Have other students read/watch/listen to the projects and leave comments for the writers.
