In-Class Presentations

The two best presentations used technology in a way that was engaging and informative for the students. One presentation used Google Earth with young children to help them understand the globe, and the students were absolutely encaptivated, especially as she used it to zoom in on their school. I was impressed by her connection from the core curriculum standard to the technology use. Another presentation also used GoogleEarth to take an entire grade (2nd) on a virtual tour. Again, I was impressed that she kept the entire grade engaged for 45 minutes. I think that the way she involved them in guessing which plants and animals might live at each of the 7 wonders was particularly creative and crossed content with technology very well. Great presentations!
