Integrating the Internet
Overview
This lesson is designed to introduce students to Ancient Greece. This is not intended to be a comprehensive exercise. This is designed to pique student interest on the topic. The complete lesson plan is included on the teacher resources page on the site that is embedded below. The lesson has students embark on a tour of ancient Greece. On each stop of the tour, students are asked to fill out out a Google Form to answer some questions related to the content and also take notes in either Google Docs or Twiddla for later use. At the conclusion of the tour, students will play a game called the Ancient Greek Heroes game that will immerse them in an adventure and allow them to learn about Ancient Greece in an engaging manner. Students will again take notes. This time the notes will be about the differences between the city states in the game. After completing the game quests, students will create a Tackk about ancient Greece. The Tackk will cover the material from the virtual tour and the Ancient Greek Heroes game.
