[LM_NET] Target: Middle Technology and Phys. Ed. web activities

["Donley, Leah" <LDonley@MINEOLA.K12.NY.US>]

First of all: I haven't had a chance to post a hit from my last target yet
(Revolutionary War websites)..I have a problem with my computer and can't get
to my old emails..I promise to post as soon as I can..everyone's responses
were extremely helpful!

 

Now, for the new TARGET:

My principal would like me to gather some activities for students who are
unable to attend their Phys. Ed. and Technology Education classes b/c of
injury, etc. (tech classes are in basement with no elevator) and are "stuck"
in the library.

 

He would like me to focus of course on student-centered activities that
hopefully involve technology, for example the student watches a five-minute
video clip online and then writes an essay (answers questions, etc.). I'm
also thinking webquests would be good. The teachers will be using the
resources I gather to build lessons and activities for the students (ex,
maybe they will read an article from one website about building bridges, then
write a response based on a writing prompt.) so at this point I am mainly
looking for websites with webquests or information that students could
read/watch relating to these two subject areas.

 

I will be connecting these activities with the regular curriculum, which
includes bridge building & creating a board game (Technology) and the usual
Phys. Ed. topics (including specific sports, etc.)

 

Please respond to my email address rather than the list and I will post a
hit. Please let me know if it's ok to use your name in the hit.

 

Thanks so much in advance!
