Time Travel Portal - This site is not functioning at this time. The lesson places students in an environment where they travel back in time to record points in American history. The children present their travels through podcasts using Audacity.

Time lines - This lesson was designed for fourth grade students. The results of standardized tests suggest that our students struggle to understand chronology (1500 - 1650). This unit and subsequent mini-lessons enable children to create class-level time lines to understand how specific explorers inter-relate. The time lines are Java driven and the API comes from MIT's Simile project.

I am a Part of Something Important - Students movies using Microsoft MovieMaker, respond to the prompt, "I am a Part of Something Important".
