A new era is here and our project on the Supreme Court is just the first example of this. The whole idea of this project was to show kids what a 21st century classroom will look like. This project is a good representation of that. During this month long program, we learned many different ways to represent our information, such as wordles, glogs, slideshows, and voicethreads. The information we provided on this site may not be found in a Social Studies book. Actually, we'd be willing to say that most of the information found here could not be found in your average Social Studies book. The world wide web was at our fingertips and we took advantage of that. There was plenty of information to find and we used the resources available to put together this project.

This project was interesting. A week ago we would not have been able to tell you much about the cases you find here on this site. Now we are experts on court cases we may never have know about if we didn't do this project. The world wide web is a great resource and will become vital to the 21st century classroom. We all researched and found the cases we wanted to do. Then we did research on those cases and put together the fun stuff you found here on this site. This would be a great project for kids. They will be able to learn more about the Supreme Court and lesser known court cases that still impact their lives.

This project was fun. We learned a lot about the Supreme Court and some specific court cases. We learned about the impact of the Supreme Court decisions. We learned that the decisions handed down by the Supreme Court can affect the whole United States, including Malden, Massachusetts. Even a court case in California can impact the Northeast. That's crazy.

This project was a lot of hardwork but we think that it came out great. We took what we learned from the Summer Program and put them together to create what we think is a great site. We hope you enjoyed our Supreme Court site. Thanks for visiting!!!
