Describe how you would use the Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in
your classroom:
While using the Journey North online project the students will track the monarch butterflies
migration throughout the year. The students will use the journal entry provided on Journey
North to help tie together the corresponding news updates with additional resources, including
photo galleries, slideshows, maps, and articles. As the migration of the monarch butterflies
progresses from March through June, the students can predict the path the monarchs travel and
map their journey north. Over the season, the journal becomes a workplace where students
explore ever-changing events, record compelling questions, formulate hypotheses, and
document discoveries. The students can report their data to a central online database that
connects students from all over the world, and gives the students the ability to look at their own
data and others.
