I was unable to do many technology related lessons because of CSAP and my student teacher is taking over. We did a project that had students researching the 10 day forecast, demographics, and population over time for a chosen city. For the 10 day forecast we used www.weather.com . For the demographics we used http://www.zip-codes.com/ (use “other free lookups” and then click the first time your city appears). For the population over time we used http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0763098.html. It was awesome because the students were excited about being on computers and looking up information of the city of their choice. I created a packet that gave directions on what to do and tables for the students to write their information. I provided graph paper and the students had to decide which graph to use for each set of information.

Hi Anne,
Sounds like a great project you put together! Great way to use the resources readily available to all. Do you have any sample projects to post?
