| INTRODUCTION This project was created after
viewing many network projects on the Global School Network. I wanted
to select a topic that correlated with 4th grade curriculum. Our
social studies text title is Regions by Scott Foresman. Its
layout focuses on a new region in the United States every two chapters.
I thought it would be fun for the students to have a place to investigate
the different regions of our country and be
responsible for the creation of the web site itself. |
| DESCRIPTION-This site was designed to be
a place to enhance students learning on the internet while learning about
regions in the United States. The project has the classroom teacher
introducing information about their region/town and then submitting information
to submit on the internet. By submitting information on history,
landmarks, landforms and climate, students will be learning all about specific
areas within a region.
In addition, students will individually share in essay form their favorite place to visit in their region. Their comments and ideas will be posted for others to enjoy. |
| SUMMARY-I look forward to updating this site throughout the school year. I have had several interested teachers respond to my idea and would like to join in when the school year begins. I was very encouraged to receive several responses to my project during the summer months. I know that when school resumes the areas in which I receive responses will branch out. My biggest concern at this time will be managing the information received and keeping the site current. I personally enjoyed doing research on the town in which I live and sharing it with others. |
