After completing the lab students posted the results of their part of the lab on a discussion board on my wikispace. Students then got the results of the other part of the lab to complete the entire lab. Groups than had to reply to one group's post with two additional pieces of information that they obtained from a search engine. ||< Barshinger's wikispace

[|Explorelearning] ||<  ||   || I am stressing collaboration. GoogleDocs has been especially helpful since two students can work on the same PowerPoint or Word document at the same time. GoogleDocs also allows them to work at home. The end product is a presentation supported by a PowerPoint with an embedded video and a classroom handout. It’s a big project. But we have tried to tackle it in parts. Patience was required to get GoogleDocs up and running. But, once it was the kids were really fascinated by it. Google “PowerPoint” doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as Microsoft or Keynote, but the collaboration factor is awesome. [|CivilRightsProjectRevised.doc] || gaggle email
