A computer needs to be easily accessible for students to search for and access needed information. Students with limited access to technology outside the classroom can learn to use and incorporate technology as an integral part of their lives through this project. Describe any collaboration efforts planned for the project. The collaboration of this project is multi-faceted. Students collaborate with other students when they cooperatively design a curriculum-based web page.
Teachers collaborate with other teachers as they share and integrate Internet curriculum resources.
Students collaborate with their parents by showing them the curriculum-based web pages that they have created. The branches of the Salt Lake City Public Library have agreed to allow our students and their parents Internet access for viewing student-designed web pages. Describe how the project will act as a catalyst to ensure that all students are prepared to live and work in an increasingly technological society. This project will allow students to learn how to access information over the Internet as well as learn to be cooperative learners as stated in the State's Life Skills document . It is unrealistic for teachers to prepare students for specific jobs in the 21st century since we do not know what many of these jobs will be yet.
