Module 4: ePals and Google maps

Hello Group,

I reviewed this week's assignment and we need to create a google document through our gmail accounts that we share with each other. The assignment is to some way incorporate global awareness to our PBL project (Gardening). I was thinking since we are going to make some sort of lesson out of the different kinds of gardens and the materials needed, that we can do a little research ourselves and find some unique way of gardening that is specific to a particular region of the world (I don't know if it exists, but I sure hope so.). We can then connect our group of students with another group and have them interview each other via a blog or email asking about the garden, plants, materials, maintenance, etc.

I think that is a really neat idea. Let me know. Also, I'm going to go ahead and start a google doc. and invite you and the instructor into it.

WEBSITES

This week we need to start thinking about websites we can use for our overall project. Do you have any ideas? I was thinking we could try to find some nice informational ones that our students can use as references, as well as us.

Gardening Concept Map (Kidspiration)

Concept Map

Hey Team! I was wondering what age group you intend on working with in the future. I plan on working with younger kids, so I was thinking if we all agree, we should target a younger population. In that case, I think we should use Kidspiration because it is more visually appealing and children friendly. Let me know.

Inspiration

Hi Friends,

Also remember that we need to take turns downloading the inspiration program, so we must first discuss who will begin the concept map.

Welcome to EDT 3470 Gardening Group (Number 2)

Welcome group members. I hope you both are ready to get started. Please remember that we must use this blog for communication weekly. We need to make a concept map regarding our topic (gardening). Let's start by getting some ideas. What do you think we need to include in our concept map? Where should we begin?
