Artifacts

The main artifact is the Facebook page. The page is updated at least weekly with the progress of the boat building. Parents are encouraged to follow their child’s progress on the page. Several parents “liked” the page, but only one actually posted about the class. It would have been nice if more parents became involved with the page and commented on the photos or the student’s progress. Parents were informed of the page through a note at the bottom of the field trip permission slips and through a photograph release / information packet signed at the beginning of the year. The artifact that connects the project to the NETS-S is the project description (the written directions to the assignment) which was handed out and reviewed with the class twice.

To find the Facebook page, simply search "boat building pace class" in Facebook and it will take you to the class page.
