I was pleased with the way my classes went today. The ancient computer (12 years old) that is hooked up to my data projector (8 years old) and the speakers I found in the back of a cabinet (age unknown) actually worked, connected to the internet, and ran the online lesson I wanted to use to introduce the 5 themes of geography to my students. They enjoyed the video and the interactive activities that accompanied the lesson. I was able to complete the entire lesson, and the interactive quiz, with all three classes, though I did have to rush a bit with my morning class.
Tomorrow we are doing a lesson on map reading and map making. The students will get to draw their own island and map out what features they want it to have. I think they will enjoy doing that.
