learners and teachers 24/7, at the point of the information, research, or communication need. Ubiquity changes everything. With computers in every classroom and every home, heck with computers in every pocket, how are you going to share your wisdom and collaborate? || ﻿Ashley media skills classes are assigned a research pamphlet where they are instructed to create a list of resources about a specific topic. Each source is evaluated on the list based on its ability to help a student research a topic. Students then create a think map of there research process and explain how they would use each type of source to help write a paper. Use the links below to see rubric on how to create a research pamphlet. (Link 1 is the front side of the pamphlet and link 2 is the other.) []

It is available for free from the Federal Trade Commission. It comes with lesson plans that focus on great critical thinking skills and collaborative learning. You can order bookmarks and a parent newsletter to involve the whole family. Best of all, it culminates with an interactive computer game that students play. We ended the unit by using the class set of netbooks and each student was able to play the game. A great success and the students loved it!

It helps them find the thing they are looking for, even if they are not sure what it is. The main phrase you are searching for becomes the middle of the sun, and relevant keywords are linked on the sun’s “rays”. It is a great way to organize search results starting with a general subject and narrowing it to more specific subjects. ||  ||   || key to engaging students in a virtual environment to promote independent learning. ||  ||   ||   || for interaction–learners as both information consumers and creative information producers. ||  ||   ||   || learning environment that connects students and teachers in a social, digital, community. || At Sunset Park, students and staff share their work, ideas and applications to diversify learning and spark creativity in the classroom, the computer labs and Media Center. By sharing files, and lessons, we have an endless supply of resources to teach and learn just about anything :) ||  ||   ||
 * You understand that learning can (and should) be playful. || We have had loads of success at Sunset Park using puppets for Reader's Theater, we have used the lab to create comic strips of the stories students have been reading instead of traditional book reports, and we have round tables of "tell me what happens" next using Goosebumps and mapping the story on our Smartboard so that we can come back to it each week and share with classroom teachers. ||  ||   ||
 * You understand that learning should be authentic || At Sunset Park, all grades work on a research project. We start in the thirs nine week so that students are comfortable with the collection, with using the computers and Internet, know what their interests are and are ready to be challenged by doing a research project. Students have to have the skill set to us ethe tools and evaluate the tools, and we have found by offering multimedia resources as well as print, that they are genuinely engaged in the process and seem to actually leran more than the traditional ways of teaching rsearch. ||  ||   ||
