Research was then conducted to develop individual papers that described a threat and proposed solutions. In the second phase, students worked independently to create a web page that reflected their research findings. Students were given specific criteria when developing their web page. Positive Aspects Allows students to gain experience in creating quality work that is published on the Internet in a public forum. Is an opportunity for students to experiment with the creation of a web page.
Students feel that they are contributing to a greater goal.
Collaboration was necessary to create a final product that met established criteria. This was a positive exercise in editing and synthesizing information and thoughts from a six page paper to a single web page. The logistics of orchestrating twenty-seven student folders into one site was challenging and time consuming. This was also the first time that I attempted this type of project. Next time, I will make sure that each student uses a common folder and file names for easier identification and management.
