I+Get+It+From+My+Mother's+Side

So you're Gifted and Talented, huh? What's your area of specialty? What do you do exceptionally well? Math? Art? Science? Geology? Botany? Physics? Anatomy? Engineering? Are you a natural or did you inherit your talent or talents? Leonardo da Vinci was superior in all of these areas. According to Bulent Atalay's book, "Math and the Mona Lisa", he was not only a genius, he was a transformative genius (how do you like the way I cited that information?) He invented the future. He had an unquenchable curiosity about nature and how it related to math, art, and science. And, guess what? You're related to him - distantly, but you're related to him. Ya buddy! Since receiving this news, you have a burning desire to tell the world about your Uncle Leonardo (great-great uncle, really) and how he influenced your talents. It's all in the genes, you know! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But wait! How are you going to do this? Take an ad out in the newspaper? Maybe a commercial on tv? Maybe post it on your MySpace? Now you're getting closer! Here is what you will do. Using **your** **wiki**, you will create a concept map of sorts to illustrate, explain, and/or support why you're related to LDV based on your own individual talents. **Keep reading**. Below are instructions that will tell you what to do:

Impress me with your research abilities and your technology skills! The wiki tools are FREE! I know this seems like a huge task. You're probably saying, "But, I don't know how to do this!" Well, don't panic. I didn't either until I just dove in there and got after it. I think I get it from my mother's side! LOL! She was distantly related to LDV, too! Guess that makes me related also! Good luck.
