Reflection on Process
A component of our summer program: Literacy, Curriculum,
and Technology, was to create a web page on a topic that was relevant
and of interest to us. The group came together because of a shared
interest in the topic of Indoor Air Quality . After discussing our
experiences with Indoor Air Quality, we felt the best way to begin
was to do a broad research on the topic, mainly via the Internet.
We were surprised to find so much information on the subject and
felt it necessary to focus on Indoor Air Quality in schools. However,
we included other pertinent examples.
Upon completion of the research, we organized the
materials into major areas of concern and used individual folders
as an organizing feature. We downloaded Internet information to
Microsoft Word. We also typed other information onto the Word program.
We then transferred the information from our Word files to html
and used the Front-Page Editor program to format, edit, and design
the web page. Group members chose areas of comfort and interest
to work on. From here, members went on to learn the technology needed
to complete the project.
From this experience, we feel all group membersí
literacy skills were enhanced, especially in the area of technology.
This web page is a product of the groupís collaborative efforts.
