Resources+and+Methods

Like the previous section, this area is also more directed towards educators. Resources we have utilized for this assignment will be posted, along with materials we have created on the page in which it is used. This will allow for other educators to either engage in their own inspirations, or use the same resources to create a similar theme. A variety of technology will be used to maintain student interest throughout the unit as well as aid the teaching. Technology allows content to come alive in ways the typical pen and paper lecture does not. Please look for links on the pages to view what we have created in this sample lesson. Additionally, the links will all be organized here as well.

Please look throughout the wiki to find all of the resources utilized. A brief list highlighting the technologies incorporated follows:
 * 1) iWeb
 * 2) Wiki/Wiki discussion board
 * 3) Google Blogger
 * 4) Google Maps
 * 5) Prezi
 * 6) Garageband - podcast
 * 7) iMovie

online resources to check out.

CIA Factbook - a great website that provides statistical information on any country in the world.

The American Archives - This website contains a vast amount of primary documents and pictures form any period in American history. It is great for immigration studies.

Youtube - Though slightly obvious, youtube has some great footage of immigrants throughout American history. It can also provide political information from resources such as The Associated Press.

Balanced Politics - this website was used for preliminary information on the immigration debate. It's a great website for finding out how current political arguments are structured (i.e. pro/con positions).

Democrats .org - This website states the Democrats position on immigration, as well as providing links to recent news articles. It should be known that the Republican webpage was not included because it did not provide a stance on immigration.
