Epals Assignment

I went ahead and created the google document for this assignment. I sent both of you an invitation to join. You will need to check your gmail accounts for this.

Module 4

I have looked at module 4 for next week. We are going to have to be doing a lot of discussing back and forth for this one. It looks like it may be a little time consuming on all of our parts. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up because it looks like a lot of work for next week.

I will do these websites

http://skydiary.com/kids/
http://www.scholastic.com/kids/weather/
http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/

it's all good. you are like our personal trainer. you don't do the work for us, but you make sure we don't shortchange ourselves.

The Website that I am evaluating

http://www.weatherwizkids.com/

http://www.wildwildweather.com/

http://www.theweatherchannelkids.com/

Kim, you are not being overbearing and I am glad you get things done quickly. Same goes to you too, Adam. It is nice to have everyone participate in the group instead of having to hunt them down for their information. I believe these website will be very beneficial to our project and will evaluate them as soon as I can.

Here are the three websites that I am evaluating

*** Remember that we all have to have different sites that we are evaluating. I am thinking we should use sites that would better help the students how to monitor weather. I didnt use one but I think we should also use something like the weather channel website so that they can actually monitor the weather. It is up to however that you guys want to do it. I have put in more than my two cents in and I feel like I am overbearing. I just like to see things get done. Those are my ideas. I would just use kid friendly sites or something that the teacher can take from a website and utilize.

It is a wonderful map!

nice.

Concept Map

concept map

I think that's a good start. I think wind should be in there somehow, whether it be a new heading or sub heading. Maybe something to do with tools used to monitor the weather. The pressure would fall into that, but maybe some technology like doppler radar and things of the like. What else do we need for this module. Let me know. I'm leaving for Miami early, early Saturday morning.

Concept Map

Hey guys! If it is ok with you I am going to do the first concept map. I have a good feel for how it should be. I am thinking off of weather monitoring I could have temperature with celcius and fareinheit. Another part coming off would be precipitation. Humidity would be another detail. Barometric Pressure might be an idea off of it. Another idea steming from weather monitoring would be visibility. The last idea I would have would be the Dew Point. Is there anything else that you would like for me to add to the concept map???
