Lesson 7: The Virtual Classroom, Part One
This has been an extensive course, and we've covered a lot of material- certainly something to be proud of! We'll be finishing the course this week, and are focusing our final work on extending our classroom onto the information superhighway.
Extending the Classroom
This has been an extensive course, and we've covered a lot of material- certainly something to be proud of! We'll be finishing the course this week, and are focusing our final work on extending our classroom onto the information superhighway.
The two lessons for this week need to be taken as one whole, even more so than other lessons. What we will begin with, in this lesson, is sources of information and resources available to the virtual classroom. In this context, the sources that we will cover can't actually be used until we start compiling our virtual classroom - a website, which will extend our classroom to students at home, parents, grandparents, co-workers, and anyone else interested in what the class is doing.
That website is the final project we will complete in this course, pulling together every piece of knowledge we've learned throughout the course.
