Finishing week two assignment. First I investigated a bit farther with the middle school level of Britannica. Discovered the time line section! That looks very interesting! Started to set one up on the Civil War. I like the ease of setting it up and finding pictures to go along with it. If I used it as a class assignment I would be specific about what information was needed so students wouldn't just cut and paste but it does make a neat presentation. Also began to check out the videos that are available. Both long and short in length. Will be studying the one that discusses Lewis and Clark from the viewpoint of Sacajawea.
Did go onto the high school section and looked up Jamaica. Lots of info given in different forms. Couldn't get any info on the Jamaican bobsled team and Calgary. The response kept telling me that nothing could be found. I was beginning to think the team was only real in the movies until I googled it and got the info I was looking for. So I guess there are some limits. Have used the workspace section to set up information on aardvarks, civil war and Jamaica. Seems easy enough but do I have to login every time I set up a new title of info? So far that's what I have done. It is nice to have one location to put everything instead of all over the screen.
You have really jumped into these assignments. I noticed some different links on the videos and video clips that you would use in social studies. I was searching for some I could use but found lots that did not fit with my curriculum. I did like the links to ideas for teachers on the middle school and high school editions. Did you check those out?
