3.22 Making Connections Blog

There are many resources on the internet that support my project and student learning. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on line website offers many ideas and lesson plans which I can draw from and also can be used by students for information to complete project assignments. Another website is the Memphis Rock And Soul online museum which also contains information for both students and for my project. I have also found many other valuable websites that support the topics of protest music and civil rights that are specific to rock and roll, folk music, jazz and also the blues. It has been interesting to find that many have written their dissertations using the same subject ideas. Online Civil Rights time lines and historical information will also be useful.

To insure proper internet use for students, I regularly use a contract which is reviewed and signed by parents. I also am sure to include requirements for proper use as part of an assignment grade as well as correct work citations and copyright permissions for any information, pictures, music, web sites etc, which are used in any student project. I am careful to check for permissions by making sure student requests are either C.C.'d to me or e- mailed to me to insure viability for both the student and owner of the copy written material.
