| Cross-Curricula
Activities |
|
An
Internet-based project can become more meaningful if the content spans
many different curriculum areas. When possible, teachers should include
ideas for multi-disciplinary connections or lessons.
|
| Example

|
Students
using the Musical Plates project
learn how and where earthquakes occur. A
language
arts and social studies component is provided so they can research
historical earthquakes and learn how different communities responded to
these earthquakes. They can also keep abreast of current events and report
on recent earthquakes.
