Web quests are a good place to start; also research projects that can be as scaffolded as necessary. All sorts of ways the kids can present their info digitally, Just a few examples might be...

Creating simple weebly pages, using a Voki character to share learning, PowToon, greenscreen videos that put the children in the setting they're studying,..the possibilities are endless.

My materials are probably outdated, but I still have the books somewhere from my tech integration master's. I'll dig them out if you want to borrow anything.

Heck, I'll give the stuff away. Need to downsize.

So my former teaching partner moved to Kentuck of all places (access to medical stuff for her young kids and hub got a job there). Do you have titles of resources that you deem worthy?

She just called and I mentioned some of the ideas you shared above. She is appreciative! I will send her titles, etc. later just in case she needs resources if she gets the job. I guess Spokane is hiring!
