Unit EQ: The quest for technology has been an ongoing thread in modern history, how did this impact global events of your Elementary School years?



    With this summative assessment, you are going to be creating a web page based on the life of an elementary school child. The key is that it does not need to be a current elementary student. What was life like in you were a 6-10 years old during the 1960s? 1860s? 300 BCE? What you will do is pick a time period, research what it was like for those children during that time, and then create a multimedia web page about the time period. It should be multiple pages, include videos, music, primary sources, secondary sources, images, and content that you write (all of which is properly cited). Make sure that in your page design, you make sure that you write about technology that they were using. But remember, as Alan Kay said, “Technology is anything invented after you were born, everything else is just stuff." When completed, you will present the your web page to the class, so remember to keep everything school appropriate.

​Advice:

   · Surf the net to find sites that you like. Why do you like them? Emulate the features that draw you in.

   · Sites like wix.com  and weebly.com offer simple tools to easily create great websites. That way you can spend more time on the content, rather than the formatting.

   · Keep an eye on how you are creating your site, if you are working off of a program that is only at school or at home, you WILL run into trouble, and waste time.

   · READ THE RUBRIC! Look at what is being asked of you. Re-read the rubric before you “pass in” your completed project.

   · ASK FOR HELP. If you need help, ask, whether it is for content or technology issues.
