Information about the topography, history, and famous Illinoisans is then shared by students and the teacher. After completing the necessary research, students are instructed to open a folder in the Linkway computer program. Their final step requires them to add and label three points of interest in the state. Students choose one picture abort Illinois that related to a topic about which they would like to write. The zap shot camera is used and the pictures are then transferred to a disk.
Students transfer the picture to their own disk.
The answer hide behind the questions using a text pop- up button. A slogan is added to the flag that describes something about Illinois. Students add their own picture, previously taken with the zap shot camera, and credits. Activities in this unit require critical thinking and reading, cooperation, peer tutoring, higher-level technology skills, and integrated learning. Special education students mainstreamed into the classroom also completed a folder.
