Early Explorers Glog

We are hard at work this week preparing a Glog, which is like an online bristol board project, about one of the early European explorers that came to North America (see the background of the explorers on Google docs or here).  We will be examining a brief history of their lives, a look at the country they were representing, where they went and what we feel was their most important achievement.  We put together a checklist outlining what we felt was the most effective way to communicate this information on a Glog.  The checklist can be found here.
We will be working on the following learning goals:

- explain why Europeans came to North America and New France to establish colonies
- clearly communicate information using a presentation tool (Glog)
