Thing 7

I set up a notebook page for using the advanced search option. I looked for powerpoint presentations that were made for my geography unit. I found a Jeopardy game that was already set up. I will need to review it again to make sure we cover the items on each questions! It is great! There are also some sights set up for landforms and terminolgy that would be helpful in that unit. I also looked at some PP for explorers.

The advanced search was interesting. I will take more time to figure out how I could fine tune my searchs for subjects.

Thing #6

I just finished investigating the masher and 3rd party sites. I had some trouble with apparently clicking on the incorrect button and having to find where I was before.
How could I use this in my class??? I would like to think the kids could make a mosiac of places having to do with a unit of study. Maybe they could make a trading card as a book review to save for other readers. Since we have limited computers and printers it would be hard to think about printing out the cards. This could be something I would have my early finishers work on in the computer lab. I am still thinking about how to use it in the class.
