During this experience we are going to explore the topic of Glass and Ceramics as one of West Virginia's many historic booming industries. As we learn about the history, science, and the impact on West Virginia of both glass and ceramics we will be responding to prompts, interacting with classmates, and researching information to further our understanding. In order to follow along with this project as well as create your own interactive experience you must follow this blog as well as create your own.
Assignment:
1. Each student must have a blog. (Your class code will be provided in class.)
2. Read this blog post by Anne Davis from Georgia State University a long time public school educator. She was asked why blogging in education is important and listed her rationale along with a list of important influences on both the classroom and the student.
3. Your first blog post is to pick out at least two of the points from Ms. Davis' list that you agree with and explain why you think it will effect your experience in our Science classroom and learning about WV's Glass and ceramics.
Feel free to explore other teacher's blogs (listed as followers) about the same topic to get some background information and ideas. T
This project promises to be a great way to bring another WV industry to our students in the form of real world lessons.
