Cyberlesson

Create a cyber lesson for a children’s literature book. Visit the Cyberlesson Internet Project Showcase to view samples of cyberlessons and the ways in which teachers have used them. Include a Before, During, and After and Beyond discussion questions/activities to be tried with children along with a rubric for assessing performance. You will create your cyberlesson in a word as a PowerPoint Presentation or as a web page. We will devote some class time to working on this project. Come prepared to these sessions with outline, websites and plan for its creation. Student projects will be posted on Dr. Kurkjian's web page with your permission.
