Monday, July 12, 1999 Developing Web-Based Modules....we started our work by doing a web-based module, as our students would. The Web-based moduled, Project Ozone can be found by clicking here.
Identification of Web-based Module Topics: We brainstormed what we thought might be some important topics for our modules. Some results:
Internet Resources. Tom worked with us to use the Internet to find reources related to the topics that we discussed in the morning. Project Themes...we left for the day thinking about what topic our group might work on to develop a complete Web Based Module. |
Outside the classroom we use the Ecobadge to measure ground level ozone. On this day, the ozone level was 50 parts per billion, which meant that the air was not unhealthy. We also measured the temperature, cloud cover, wind and used a GPS system to determine our location which was latitude 34 N; longitude 85 W. |
