More Field

So this past week we taught a media enriched lesson.  It went really well.  We had the students use the computers to go onto pilgrim.org to learn about the First Thanksgiving and what life was like in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621.  The students had fun exploring the site and learning about different things.  The only thing we would change was have enough headphones for each student so that they could listen and read at the same time.  If we couldn't get headphones we would have them turn the volume completely off so that we didn't have to listen to the annoying sounds in some of the games.  Next week we are going to play Jeopardy as review of the unit.  There is a great website (jeopardylabs.com) that can be used  to create a Jeopardy game.  It keeps track of the scores and teams for you.  You can return to edit any games that you create but no one else can have access to them without a password.
