Gathering Sites or Activities

Using the goals that you outlined in Task 2, search for and gather some sites or activities to include on your Web page. The number of sites or activities that you include will depend on your needs and how you plan to use your Web page with your class. At the end of 30 minutes, be prepared to share, with the rest of the class, one Web site or web-based activity that you would include on your Web page. Explain briefly the curriculum area that this Web site or activity would be used with and your purpose for choosing the site. E-mail the link to your mentor, with a grade level and content area, so that a list of recommended sites can be compiled for the class.

Use the Site Description Worksheet to organize your sites.

To choose your sites, refer to the links below as well as the following modules: Searching the Web and Evaluating Web Resources.
