Mr. Smith’s class website was so fun to explore! The link that caught my eye is entitled monster project. It is the link located on the second line, fourth link in. This site is simple to navigate; all you have to do is scroll down the page to receive the description of what the project is. There are links to play with and videos to watch from all over the world. The main goal for this project is how to work together and learn from each other. In this, the students from many different classes pick a body part as a class and have to describe what it looks like. For example, Mr. Lee's Classes from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma described an arm as “length -1 meter blue with polka dots, colorful spikes around wrist, flag of country”. Once the children are done describing their body part, they post it on the website. Once all the parts are collected, the students create an online monster. The students are learning from using the internet, and from all of their subjects such as math and English. This assignment is a little hard to assess because it is all online; however, the teachers see if the students do the assignment and could assess them on how much they participated. This particular area interested me because it seemed like a lot of fun. Like Raquel said, students learn the best by having fun…what is a better way to learn than connecting with children from all around the world to build a monster!
