We have a topic! The grade five students voted on Friday and they agreed that the topic for this year's exhibition should be centered around technology! Great job working together and voting on what you are interested in inquiring about!

Now, we are going to start looking into exactly what that means. Watch the video above to see how technology is changing our world. Then, I would love to hear what your thoughts are on our new topic!

What types of technology might be interesting for an inquiry? What issues about technology are concerning students around the world today? In what ways does technology impact your life and your future?

I've posted a poll for you to take and some new sites on the left for you to explore and I look forward to your comments as well!

Student interest discussions begin

Over this long weekend, students have been asked to look for and discuss local and global issues that are interesting to them. Students have already seen one website, facing the future, in class and there are two more on the right side of the blog for students to explore. (United Nations for kids and Global Issues for English Learners)

Remember, the most important part of looking for a topic that interests you is to discuss it with other people. Through your discussions you will see other people's points of view as well as develop your own opinions. Be sure to investigate many ideas, even those that may not seem interesting to you at first. You never know what you will find!

If you find something really interesting and want to share it with others...post a comment!

Have fun looking and exploring!
