 * Model Digital-Age Work and Learning **

When we study Ohio in Social Studies the students get very involved. They become experts about Ohio by creating a report on Ohio. The students first use a data sheet to fill out to gather information. They go to the library to check out books and use the internet for more information. I give my students specific questions to answer about Ohio. It’s much easier for them when it comes time to writing a report. I get my report sheets from ABCTEACH. Most of my students have a difficult time coming up with their own ideas. Once the data sheet is finished we start a rough draft of typing the report. They repeat the question that was asked and then apply their answer they found. The students use an AlphaSmart to type their report on. This is their first use of technology in school with writing a report. After they are finished typing their report it is connected to the computer and downloaded. After being downloaded the report is edited and fixed. At last it is time for the final step, printing the report out. The students get all excited to see their finished product.
