What Will You Do?
Social Studies: Create a weblog students can post the causes of
World War II. Use the weblog as theses for collaborative multimedia
presentations. Math:
Use interactive design and construction software. Standards-based approach to bridge theory and
practice.

Examine online artifacts of the anti-bellum South and then webcast discussions with anthropologists to better understand the cultural exigencies that led to slavery
Observe Martin Luther King delivering his “I Have a Dream” speech and then digitally produce a presentation that might have similar social and historical ramifications on a group of people today

So Much You Can Do
Travel underwater to discover sunken treasures of lost civilizations or the golden scales of a new species of fish through live streaming video from a research vessel
Create a ‘virtual’ universe using online Hubble Space Telescope resources and calculate the event horizon around a black hole or the lifespan of a red dwarf star
