Technology use: In addition to having the students research their topic on the Internet, I too have used technology. I have created the PowerPoint on first aid using my computer and by doing several Internet searches. I created the rubrics using: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php , I took pictures of the students
finished product with one of my digital cameras and then transferred them to my website. The students were to research their topic using the internet. They learned how to make sure the sites they visited were valid and reliable. They also learned about the Honcode for valid medical information. For information on the Honcode please visit the following link www.hon.ch . The students were to get photos of their topic and make sure that they cited them correctly. All information was to be word processed and properly cited.
