As B1-2 students talk about rocks and fossils in their classrooms, we talked about some of the "fossils" we can leave behind on the internet-our "digital footprints". We did a great activity from commonsensemedia.org called Follow the Digital Trail. Students worked in small groups to find clues about Mizzle the mouse and Electra the elephant and decide who left the bigger digital footprint. While waiting for their chance to go on the clue trail, students worked on some rock, fossil and dinosaur internet sites including Bitesize Science Rocks and Weathering, You Dig!, Dinosphere Children's Museum, and Brainpopjr. Fossils.
3-4 Technology:
Students are getting ready to create a business for a good or service for their class Market Day, so we talked about advertising. We discussed how advertising is all around us, especially on the internet whether you are on google search or a fun game site like nick.com. We discussed pop up ads and pop up blockers, then tried to find all the ads in Admongo, a game created by the Federal Trade Commission to teach children about advertising.
