I will supply a pdf of a world map for students prior to the first day of class.

Students may choose to bring other resources to class such as a globe (inflatable globes are great!), resource books your student might have in their home, or any other geography-related materials. These are all optional. 

For the project, I will provide a pdf of the rubric immediately after the first day of class. Students will need access to the internet or current print resources to research their chosen "8th Wonder of the World." The students will have the freedom to choose how to present their project/proposal. They may use sources available to them on the internet or computer software such as PowerPoint or Canva. They may choose to use any variety of other materials they have on hand at home (i.e. paper to make a book, poster board for a poster presentation, etc.) 

I want the project to be:
1. student-centered,
2. thoughtful,
3. thought-provoking and, above all,
4. FUN!

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Google Earth
Kahoot
Nearpod
Canva
Youtube
National Geographic's Education Site

1. https://earth.google.com/web/ ---The teacher will use this resource during class. Students will not be required to use it unless they choose to include it in their final project.
2. Various sources from https://education.nationalgeographic.org/ --- The teacher will use this resource during class. Students will not be required to use it unless they choose to include it in their final project.
3. Kahoot --- We will use Kahoot for checking understanding in an engaging manner. Students will need to be able to access Kahoot on a device. This often works better if the device is separate from the laptop or other device on which the student is actually taking the class. In other words, the student might have the Outschool class pulled up on their laptop or computer and Kahoot on a cell phone, iPad, etc. However, this is not necessary---I only mention this as using Kahoot on a secondary device goes a bit smoother for the student. I will send the login instructions prior to each class. 
4. Nearpod--- We will use Nearpod for checking understanding in an engaging manner. Students will need to be able to access Kahoot on a device. I will send the login instructions prior to each class. 
5. Canva--- My class slides are created on Canva. Students will not need to interact with Canva themselves. However, students may choose to use Canva as they present their final projects, but this is not necessary. Students will need to have an account (and set it up on their own) if they decide to present using Canva. 
6. YouTube---I will select appropriate short clips from YouTube relevant to the material being explored. Students will not need an account. Students may choose to choose appropriate material from YouTube for their class presentations on the last day; however, these selections must follow Outschool guidelines.
