Extractions: Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Problem-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve student sin activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating.
Carbons To Computers: Home Major emphases include defining the office; economic, social, and political influence; Thelesson plans cover the following Subjects US History technology. http://educate.si.edu/scitech/carbons/
Extractions: From Carbons to Computers: The Changing American Office explores a contemporary phenomenon that has strong ties to its past. The high-tech American office of today is more similar to than different from its predecessors twenty, fifty, or a hundred years ago. People still sit at desks and need something to write with and a place to store what they have written. A floppy disk is just a small-scale filing cabinet. Even more subtle continuities exist between office organization and management, past and present. We can observe and examine what is left of the offices of the past in museums, in photographs, and in the remembrances of people who have worked in them. We can also connect past to present and test our opinions and beliefs by visiting and thinking about living, working offices as they are today. Offices also provide rich opportunities to consider how inventions and technological changes come about and how they affect daily life. Again, surprising parallels occur between past and present. Furthermore, these fresh and exciting concepts are not isolated from the traditional social studies curriculum. Rather
