geometry concepts through technology.
I really like this activity because it was a hands on learning assignment. We were able to use technology to bring in math concepts about shapes. I enjoyed being able to find shapes in my environment around me. I loved being able to partner up to take each others creative ideas to make into geometric shapes.

educational games.
Grade: 2nd
Standard 2: Students will recognize their role and responsibility in relation to their community.
Objective 2: Identify and examine cultural diversity within our community.
Website: http://history.org/kids/
I really enjoyed this software. Partially, because my family lives in Williamsburg. Therefore, I had some type of connection. I felt as though the ease of use was very easy. The games were easy to follow with good instructions. I loved the graphics. The website was very appealing. I feel as though this website could be helpful to all children second grade on up. I feel like this is the bench mark because many of the games and activities involve being able to read. Without knowing how to read, this website could become very frusterating to one. I think 2nd grade is perfect for this. They are beginning to gain a vocabulary and starting to learn about the relation to their community and the nation. This helps students identify and examine the different cultural diversity that can be found just here in the United States. I felt that all the games were appropriate. There is a variety which is a good thing. They had some art activities, actual games, and sites in which to learn more about the people of Colonial Williamsburg. For the older children, there are autobiographies and longer passages of who the people are. This shows how this educational website can be helpful to children amongst all levels.

learning objectives.
Learning Objectives:
1. Students will be able to recognize people in their community.
2. Students will realize why communities are important.
3. Students will gain knowledge of basic skills and traits the people in the community share.
4. Students will know why it is crucial to have a strong community.
Target: Kindergarten
Web Quest: The children will have an opportunity to learn more about the people around them in their community. They will learn about fire fighters, police officers, medical help (doctors, nurses...etc), clerk, mayor, and professors. The students will need to know who is involved in their communities and basic attributes of them to be able to at least recognize them. By having this background knowledge will help the children to build a project about a community member.
