Part 1:

Here are a few websites you may visit as a resource as you classify the pictures I have shown.

Part 2:

Use this kml file. This kml file will act as a layer on Google Earth to show where earthquakes have occurred recently.

When you click on the link above, you will download the file. When the download is finished, a window like this should appear:

You can also access this screen by clicking on the Window drop down menu on the top bar, and then click on Downloads

Now click on the icon that looks like this:

This will open up your Google Earth software automatically.

Task: Use Google Earth to identify where in the United States Earthquakes are most likely to occur.

Color your map of the U.S. using the following key:

Red: Color states and regions red where earthquakes are Very likely to occur.

Yellow: Color states and regions yellow where earthquake danger is moderate.

Green: Color states and regions green where earthquake danger is low.

Bonus Question:

A 7m Earthquake (7 magnitude, that's a BIG earthquake!) occurred this week. Where did it happen? When?

2 things I learned from presentations

I learned two things from presentations:

I want a promethean board in my classroom.

I also want a classroom set of cameras in my classroom.

Both would be a great way to let the students have the technology in their hands.

What I learned

What I learned from watching Nicole's and Hailey's lessons was how I can find ways to make regular lessons interactive by using technology. I enjoyed seeing how other people were proactive about finding different ways to use technology in their teaching. I hope to show that in my teaching I can find ways to use regular lesson plans enhanced through technology.
