Description:
This project is designed for 5 th grade students studying Pennsylvania geography and history. Through video conference technology, students are able to meet other students while learning about different parts of the state! Prior to the video conference each classroom will create a presentation with clues about their city or town. The other classrooms, using maps, the Internet, textbooks, and other resources, will try to discover the location of each participating classroom..
This MAGPI program is based on and uses the curricular materials and format developed by the Berrien County ISD’s “Where in Michigan?” project.
