Suggested Report Method:: . . . . Mon, Dec 10, 7:33PM PST (-0800 GMT)
FIRST: Have your students each create a word document that is their report. Suggested size is 50-250 words. If they already have written a report as an assignment, they can simply turn it into a word document for use in this project. Where possible, have them include the full URL of the Camp resources related to their studies (including the http://www). They can then print out their report for your review, comments for improvements, and then final approval.
Suggested Report Method:: . . . . Mon, Dec 10, 7:33PM PST (-0800 GMT)
NEXT: Once they have a report that meets your approval, go to their computers and gather each report onto a disk either as individual documents, or as paragraphs in the same document. If you have scanned images to upload, you can follow directions to do that or email them as an attachment to camp@campinternet.net and identify who each image is from. (Either way, we will help you get any scanned images or digital pictures online and ready for adding to the postings.)
Suggested Report Method:: . . . . Mon, Dec 10, 7:34PM PST (-0800 GMT)
POSTING: With your disk of student work, go to FIELD REPORTS (#3 on main portal) and select your track (ISL BC SW or GG). In your track report room, begin posting each students work individually, not as a group, one paragraph per student. If they wrote several paragraphs, divided those with a string of
since the software can not recognize paragraph breaks. If they included a URL link to Camp or another resource that meets your approval (non-commercial, educational), make sure it is in the report with the full http://www string with open space on either side. If you have uploaded an image (250x250 pixels or smaller) you can include that as an
file to create an image. ONLY teacher-approved images and links are allowed for quality assurance. EACH TIME YOU POST a new student work, change the YOUR HANDLE bar so it include the correct students name/teacher name/school name.

San Miguel
San Miguel is the farthest west of the Channel Islands. It is 55 miles off the
coast of California. It is 9,325 acres large and is covered with grasses and
wildflowers. Fog often covers the island and there are very strong winds. Six
different pinnipeds stay on the rocky coastline of San Miguel. Few Chumash
lived in the village on San Miguel because there is only one good spring. San
Miguel was named by an English explorer in 1793.
Ms. Johnson@ Peary Middle School in Gardena, CA: . . . . Tue, Jan 8, 8:06PM PST (-0800 GMT)
Peary Middle School is located in Gardena, California. My class is a special education self-contained setting. We started Camp Internet with a general introduction to the website on the projector. Our first project was to chat with Dr. John Johnson, curator of anthropology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. The class was enthralled with the idea of chatting. Our first project was for the students to become familiar with the Channel Islands. Using modifications and one to one assistance the students: became familiar with vocabulary words through word searches, color coed a map of Southern and Northern Channel Islands, created a model of the Channel Islands, read and discussed the Introduction to Channel Islands, Native Americans (Chumash and Gabrielinos), and housing and transportation.
