There is a wealth of resources that would contribute to an ideal learning environment. Archaeotype makes practical sense as an interdisciplinary unit, even though its implementation has not yet stretched across the different disciplines. Teachers would need to be willing to give over instructional authority to the students, have a grasp of technology and should be a bit on the nerdy side. They would have a sense of personal gratification for a job well done when the unit is over. They would need to be self-motivated, inquisitive and able to work cooperatively.
Students seem to feel a sense of accomplishment when the unit is over.
We are convinced that O'Farrell should adopt Archaeotype and it would be appropriate for any grade level. Return to the Investigating Archaeotype page.
