Skate Park in My Backyard?
My students will combine the use of three types of technology (digital cameras, Google Earth, and Garageband) to create a virtual fieldtrip.
This project will include designing, planning, researching, synthesizing media (text, pictures, and location), writing to communicate what they have learned, and presenting it.
By using Google Earth, students will be able to see how geographic features impact city planning. They will also use Google Earth to design a virtual fieldtrip, and will explore various layers to learn more about the physical Earth. By using GarageBand, students will be able to make their voices heard around the world.
Google Earth has been used very little at my school and only in an introductory way. GarageBand was introduced last year to those of us that participated in an Ed Tech grant, but not as a focus for us. I�m confident that with my training this year and my help disseminating this information to my students and my fellow teachers, these are two technologies that could really lift us into teaching our goals of 21st century technology!
