The goal of this project is to have the students’ in my fourth grade host classroom to become involved with the input of the website. Another goal is to have children practice communication skills, and demonstration of their opinions.

.
e) In what ways do you foresee could this project facilitate kids learning in your classroom? Will this media project encourage use of problem solving skills by the learner? If so, in what ways?

Yes, this project lets students be involved with the input of information in the web site. I will have a page of learning games and activities for the students to practice, and have fun reviewing new topics. Students will have to think of their own ideas to share with me about useful information that I can add to the web site. For example students want the picture of their class pet rabbit, “Browine” to be part of the class web site. I think this is important because the rabbit is a big part of their classroom.

The project is a .pdf and I also saved it as a document.
