Coulter Article

I really liked the idea of students as "electronic tour guides" as highlighted in the Coulter article. The article did give a lot of background information before addressing the way that technology could be incorporated into the classroom. But, it did highlight the impact and the global awareness that technology could provide to students that other forms of assessment and inquiry could not otherwise provide.

In thinking about classrooms as global communities, I really like the idea that students can use technology to expand their minds and those around them. It seems that technology can be a great way for students to showcase their breadth and depth of knowledge from an entire unit as Coulter addressed in this article. I did notice that the project was aimed at children in the upper grades and wonder how this kind of project could be modified to fit the needs of students in lower elementary.
