time to use the Smart Board computer and lesson will be
conducted in that location.

cooperatively to publish a brochure that demonstrates

Cooperative
Learning
|
Internet access
|
Internet connection is unpredictable. Teacher will create a
document template (brochure and newsletter) in Publisher for
students to access via the server if the Internet is down.
|
Match |
|
School file server
|
Students will need a location on the server to save documents
created for the brochure or newsletter. Contingency plan if
server is down - teacher will back up students files to put on
floppies if necessary. |
Match |
|
E-mail access to saved files
|
The websites students will use to create their brochures or
newsletters give access to saved documents via an email
account. The students can use the teacher's email
address. She will then need to give the resulting URLs
to saved work to the students. (Word document with links, for
example.) Preparation needed - make sure students know to give
their project a unique name |
Match |
|
Printer
|
Color printer is preferred, but cost of color cartridge has to
be considered. It is possible that PTO will donate
cartridges. If not, documents can be printed in black
and white. |
