Erica uses technology to help students become critical thinkers by comparing, contrasting, and analyzing information from a variety of sources. Each student is a special envoy for a geographical region. It is their job to learn how the media covers the "Hotspot Topic" (a US issue) studied in class. In these US History classes, students utilize the library's online subscription databases, searching for newspapers and periodicals from other countries, discovering the variety of perspectives. Utilizing "
Mrs.Martin's Nango Bears Wiki," students post their findings and discuss the various perspectives. You are welcome to email her for permission to join her wiki and learn more about what students do with her site.
