CARS


REFLECTION:
This project was really interesting. I am not knowledgeable when it comes to cars, but I gained an abundant amount of information about cars. I was able to use access to put all of the information in a specific order. NETS-T (1) Faciliate and Inspire students learning and creativity was the NETS-T standard that teachers can use while working on this project. Students are able to learn through the use of access. Access inspires students to gain information in order to properly organize the information. This project overall depicted this standard in many ways.

Brockton

REFLECTION:
This assignment was very fun, because I enjoyed letting everyone know about my experience in Brockton. Overall even though Brockton was a tad bit deserted, the people around made the experience worthwhile. This project took a lot of thinking because I went to Brockton a least a couple of years ago. I enjoyed thinking about the experience I had because it was essentially a positive time with my family. The NETS.T standard that my project incorporated was NETS-(1) Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. Through the use of google earth, I was able to faciliate my experience with my classmates. They can learn about Brockton, MA, while they are able to locate it on google earth. (3) Model Digital-Age work and learning, Students are able to learn a different area, while being able to navigate through google earth. Through NETS(3) students are able to learn about a particular area, while being able to physically see the location.
