Eighth graders in Laurie Bisconti’s class at Heritage Middle School are having great success finding fossils and artifacts. It’s all about observation and knowing where to look. And like professional paleontologists, they’ve learned to map their findings, analyze them and date them to unlock the mysteries of ancient life.
We observed their dig conference, where students shared the findings and made comparisons, physically and culturally, on early humans. This was an interactive experience with iPads, and Powerpoint, mobile smartboard, internet sources, music, and video, the lesson captured by an LTV film crew to record how technology is being integrated into learning in Livingston classrooms. |
