Blog vs. Webpage

The main difference is the commenting option that blogs enable. Blogs allow students or anyone really to comment back on anything you publish. Websites don't give you this option. This makes blogs helpful because they can be used as an assessment tool, a paperless journal, or a way of collaborating. There are other ways as well but those were the first three that came to mind. Woot woot!

How I'd use google maps

(Screen capture won't load)

I would use this screen capture to help me begin connecting plate boundaries to earthquakes.

Journal Question: Look at the map and take note of the earthquakes that have occured within the past week. Try to remember where the major plate boundaries are located, if you can't remember refer to the map in your science book. What do earthquake locations and plate boundaries have in common? Then I would follow up with "Why are earthquakes and plate boundaries related?" Then also, "What can you infer about areas where there are plate boundaries, but there hasn’t been an earthquake recently?"

After teaching students about Pangaea and plate boundaries, I would use this online tool to lead into earthquakes. I would start with this lesson where I connect the plate boundaries and earthquakes together and then also have students predict where else they think earthquakes may occur if they haven’t occurred there recently.

Posting Difficulty

I'm having difficulty posting. For a more up to date summary of my trip see my website for now.

My computer just doesn't want to cooperate with blogger I guess.
