QUESTIONS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

Summary: This activity is designed to encourage students to spend some time in the Virtual Neighborhood looking at what has been entered, and considering what more they want to develop and to learn. It can be done any time.

Materials:

Access to Internet; bookmark set at Linking Up Villages
http://villagenetwork.org/luv.html

Classroom Management: This is an ideal activity for individual students, or teams of students who have some time to augment the school pages. It also could be a full class activity.

Activity Steps:

1. Visit the site of each school in the neighborhood, beginning with your own "building".

2. What more do students think should be on your class site? Any new type of buildings? (Reminder: there are "rooms" for links, images, databases, documents) Review the possible rooms.

Review the HELP pages on how to set up specialized rooms.

Ask them to plan how they can organize to gather the information and images.

3. What more would they like to know about the other schools? What kind of answers would be helpful. Write out some examples.

4. Send messages to the school with the questions.

 

Extension: Get together with one the of Neighbor Schools and decide on a question to ask a third school.
