The story is stored on a disk along with other projects that together form an electronic portfolio that will follow Katie through her years at Mackay Elementary School. Ms. K is pioneering new ways for her 15 fifth-graders to learn and grow through the use of computers and other technologies in the classroom. You integrate it. When I teach social studies, I bring in history, literature, writing, and now, technology. It becomes a web with social studies at the center.
Projects range from economics to English.
A Malaysian e-mail friend of Ms. K corresponds with the students and tells them about the economy in Asia and its influences on the world market. They need to see and understand other people, the places they live, their countries, and to have an appreciation for other cultures. Four young women in Denmark are learning how to write proper English with the help of Ms. K's fifth-graders. My name is Anette. I'm 14 years old.
