Searching with Common Sense

Happy New Year 4th Grade!

Today, we will begin a very cool series of activities to help you learn to navigate Cyberspace - your Digital Passport from the website Common Sense Media.

You will begin with "Search Shark."  This will help you learn how to choose effective keywords for searching online. You will practice selecting keywords that are most relevant to a search prompt. Along the way, you will discover hints for narrowing your search results.

The login can be found here:

Each one of you will have a login and password, which I will give to you at the beginning of class.

If you finish this activity, you may spend the last few minutes of class on FreeRice.

Happy Searching!

Maryland Explorers Power Point

Hello 4th Graders,

Today we will explore the use of Power Point to create a simple presentation about the explorers of Maryland.

You will be given a fact sheet with a few key points in Maryland history, and I will show you a bank of images to use.

I would like you to create a presentation using the facts and the images, and have fun exploring the graphic possibilities of this program.
