Teleresearch Below are many examples of curriculum-based teleresearch activities. Please note that the sites are listed in alphabetical order. Old U.S. stamps provide the inspiration for questions, which students answer after exploring suggested websites. Students gain environmental awareness as they read, talk, write, and draw about Earth Day issues in an Internet scavenger hunt.
Students submit their answers to the project's creator.
Students peruse pre-selected websites to find the answer to the question, select their choice, and are given feedback on their correct or incorrect response. Besides reinforcing mathematic principles, this is a good way to introduce students to the art of online navigation. An accompanying worksheet asks short answer, matching, and essay-type questions. Even if you've never heard of Martha Ballard, this site will draw you into the fascinating tale of this eighteenth century midwife's life. Use it to help your students learn how to piece together the past with primary documents and understand what life was like in a post-Revolutionary household on the Maine frontier.
