THE INTERACTIVE BOSTON COMPUTER MUSEUM TOUR
The purpose of this SMART project is to create a project which can be used to enhance and broaden a fifth grade math and science curriculum. This project will use the technology provided by the RIDE training. The overall project will provide internet links or personalized bookmarks that will tie into the math and science curriculum using telecommunications. The children will be able to search around the world via the Internet which give them experiences above and beyond anything the traditional classroom teacher could provide. The children at Veazie Street School will have access to the Internet in their classroom and the computer lab.
This project will provide the children hands-on training in the Boston Computer Museum to develop an understanding of how the internet works through the exhibit The Networked Planet. This detailed project will provide the teacher with an extensive plan to supplement the Computer Museum tour with background resources in math, science, and technology available through he Internet. To prepare our students to meet the technological demands of the 21st Century, this project will stimulate students to use critical thinking skills, while becoming skillful in technology.
