My position this year is 4 th grade in Winner. I have no idea of what the class schedule contains. Many students are taking South Dakota History in the 6 th grade, but according to the state standards it is now taught in the 4 th grade.
Many students have very little knowledge or interest in their own state.
The students need resources about their community and how it ties into the development of it being part of a state. The slide show presentation allows the interest of the students to want to make more use of technology in putting together a presentation for an open-house, school presentation, or a class viewing. The computer, overhead, and tape recorder will be essential in their presentation. The students will telle-collaborate with students from other South Dakota cities with the use of these accessories. It will allow other students to understand our city with their city and both are part of the same state using technology.
