This blog I created discusses several technologies such as wikis, social bookmarking sites, file sharing sites, and Google docs and spreadsheets. These are discussed with educational uses in mind and show ways that these technologies can improve the classroom experiences.
This project focuses on teaching fifth grade students how to critically evaluate information found on the Internet by exploring web sites about school uniforms. This project has a lesson plan for teachers and activities for students to complete. After students have evaluated their sites, they need to write a persuasive letter to their principal as to whether or not their school should require uniforms.
For this project I chose to plan to participate in the ePals' Maps Project. This project will teach fourth grade students all about physical, climate, and political maps through email exchanges with students in another country. This project was also used as my Web Site Creation Project.
