Ed Tech Week 6
Today we will focus on Annette Lamb's educational site called Eduscapes.
We will be looking at three specific areas:
  • 4 2 Explore - thematic topics with links and vocabulary

  • NatureScapes - information written at three varying levels for differentiating of reading abilities

  • Literature Ladders - information and ideas for integrating literature into your curriculum

Launch Page Creation Work Time
You will have time to work on your second launch page. Remember to include:
a brief description
1-2 technology standards that your lesson focuses on.
Remember that the emphasis of our grant is on reading so try and create a launch page that concentrates on reading.

Desktop Publishing Tips
  • Avoid Typewriter mentality

  • Make things stand out by using bold, larger font size, or color - not underline or all capital letters

  • Use Proportional Fonts

  • Use Sans Serif Fonts for Titles and Headlines

  • Use Serif Fonts for text

  • Don't use more than 2 different fonts

  • Add Color Wisely - it should be meaningful
