Projects can be designed for all areas of the curriculum. My Laos project combined a reading unit as well as a social studies lesson. This project has been listed by our school's multicultural committee as a reference resource. It will be used by all our second grade reading classes. A spring class project incorporated writing and reading skills.
Students enjoy designing projects and using the computer as a learning tool.
The students are also being exposed to the world of technology at an early age. While working on projects, they are expanding their own knowledge about the computer. They are learning how to add borders, graphics, sound, and text. Creating files, folders, and saving work is being learned. Our school is a city school and many of the children do not have personal computers at home.
