Welcome to Class, Detectives!
Today, you are going to do some detective work (and shhh.. the person sitting next to you may be listening and watching your screen). Actually, each detective will have his or her own assignment, so it won’t really matter, but here we go….
The Instructions (physical labor)
- Open a New Word Processing Document
- Put a heading on the paper.
- Save as “HUNT_your topic”. For instance, if I was in period 2 and the topic I was given at the door was “Ancient Africa”, I would save as P2.HUNT_Africa.Maye
- OPEN AN INTERNET BROWSWER… we hope they are playing nice today due to all the hard work from my period 2 terrific tech team
What You’re Doing (mental work)
You are SEARCHING on the internet for information that will help teach someone about the topic you have been given. You need to find a variety of sources that help explain the topic, show examples of the topic, and to make the topic come to life. Keep in mind that some people prefer to READ, some prefer to SEE (visual/pictures), and some like to see and imagine what it would FEEL like to be there. You need to include sources that use all of the senses so that everyone will be able to read the information and use the information to make sense of the topic.
What TO Do….
- SEARCH for your topic using a variety of search engines. Skim and read a bit of the information.
- When you find a webpage that would be helpful if you were doing a report, copy and paste the URL into the Word Processing document.
- Be sure to write a short description so that other students will know what to expect when they click on the link.
- Continue until you have at least 10 links with descriptions and hotlinks (items that someone can click on and go directly to the web).
TECHNICAL ITEMS>>>>>
- Save as indicated.
- Open BlackBoard.com and log in.
- Click on Bulldog Computer Applications
- Click on TOOLS
- Enter a title (Hunt and your topic).
- Click on BROWSE and find the “Hunt_topic” that you just saved. Click on SUBMIT.
- To send…click on the tools. Click on the DIGITAL DROP BOX.
- You will now have a SEND option. Click on SEND FILE
- Type in a Title (HUNT_your topic). Find the file that you uploaded to your BlackBoard account.
- Enter a comment “From Last Name, First Name and the Period”.
- Click on Submit. Your Link list will be sent to the instructor.
You ARE done! If you want some extra challenge, download the EXTRA CREDIT file from Blackboard and see how many questions you can answer in a word processing document. The instructions are explained in the comments section…
WHEW!! I know you can do it - just follow the steps one by one... The most important part for today is to FIND THE SITES. If you run out of time, we can do the sending and uploading to Blackboard.com tomorrow, but try it yourself.. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Show what you know, take a chance...
If the net is down, will have an alternative lesson for you...listed here....
- Create a list in MS WORD. FInd one item for each letter of the alphabet for the topic of computers, for instance "M" might stand for MOUSE. Include a description and if the internet is working, add a link for each item for a term.Save as "A to Z"
- Write a poem about giving thanks. Illustrate in APPLEWORKS drawiing. Save as "THANKS"
