About
The purpose of this web site is to help students learn about the explorers of the North American continent prior to 1700. It will also focus on the manner in which they interacted with the land and the native people. It will enhance students' knowledge about the key characters during the time period, their accomplishments, and the effect their discoveries had on our lives today.
This site was designed by Jenna Abbot for Mr. Pell's 5th grade class at Bowman Elementary School in Lexington, Massachusetts. I am a student at Boston University studying Social Studies Education in the School of Education. This site is a requirement for the coarse ED100, which satisfies the Massachusetts licensing requirements for instruction in Educational Technology.
