LAUNCHING THE THEME-Ongoing Project:(taken from [|CTAP3.org]) Following the demonstration and activities described in TE page 39C-D, students will begin to learn to conduct Internet searches (Information and Study Skills -- Multimedia Resources). With the teacher's help students can begin to use [|Kid's Search Tools] or [|netTrekker] to conduct their searches. A Research Report (TE page 40-43G) offers the opportunity for students to use CDs and Internet resources for research. They can use Inspiration/Kidspiration software for notetaking, a word processor for publishing their report, and add images downloaded from Internet. This theme also includes a section entitled View and Evaluate Media. Be sure to include [|Don't Buy It: Get Media Smart] as a direct teaching tool. (TE page 69O-P.)
