This project is an Internet based, collaborative research project on the regions of Canada. It's centered on curricular objectives outlined in the Western Canadian protocal for Social Studies with other areas integrated as appropriate. It is designed to use technology as a tool for gathering, processing and presenting information - it is a tool for learning and teaching.
Technology is used in authentic ways and covers a wide variety of areas and technology skills.
Because all activities are so tightly coordinated with provincial curriculum, time commitments are easily incorporated into the regular program. Participants will have the opportunity to learn essential technology skills and see practical applications of technology in the context of their instructional program. Suipport from colleagues and technology specialists is built into the project and is intended to be as much a learning experience for teacher participants as the students. You don't need much technical knowledge - just a committment to the project.
