Social Studies

Always the master of segues, it was exciting to be informed of the following addition to the Oakwood Public School site on the GECDSB server, courtesy of Ms. Stuart's Grade 8 class.

It's exciting to see such evidence of research happening in our schools. Local history is exciting. Check out a few library references including the great site at the Windsor Public Library's Millennium page.

But, how do you really show what it "looks like"? How do you separate this research from the others?

How about sending some students up in an airplane with a camera? The research at this site is fully supported with all kinds of digital images.

Congratulations are due to Oakwood, Ms. Stuart, and the students for providing such an exciting resource for us all to enjoy.
