 * Student will understand navigation within the digital world.
 * Student will be able to describe some elements within the periodic table.

Description of lesson: We will use a MAPWING website to explore briefly some of the elements of matter as shown in the periodic table. Several questions embedded in the tour will help guide them through some of the aspects of the table’s utility, and of the elements’ themselves. Assignment: Take the tour – explore the 20 stops, with pictures and comments in each – and answer the questions within it. Technology used: Web 2.0 media. The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: Using Web 2.0 media allows the students to explore the periodic table with freedom of interest to guide them (through some of their questions), while they discover more on their own. Once they’ve gathered some ideas, presenting the whole of the table will be more useful and therefore, memorable. These websites are some of those embedded within the tour... [] [] [] [] [] []
