top ten

In my classroom I helped the students put together a power point project for a Geography lesson. The students' assigment was to create a power point on a counry of their choice in Western Europe. It is different becuase they were not making their own websites. They did have to post at least hyperlinks, use a variety of slides, and use the internet for questions to be answered from the rubric. I am not sure what type of learning style is my strongest. I am not suprised that this activity had no text books. With the vast accessible information through the internet, who needs a book?:( It is weird, if I would ask my father what something ment, he would say "Get a book." The whole idea has changed for me. My biggest concern is that published books are becoming a thing of the past. The only barrier I have using websites is that you never know when your computer is going tostart malfunctioning, like mine all semester.
