The project for my Masters is based on the Blended Learning Model. I had incorporated a Weebly site for a unit of study on the Aboriginal theme for my grade three class this year. The Weebly site is called "Our Community Connections". We started working on the Weebly site at the end of April and finished with the unit in the middle of May. Prior to the students working on the unit of study Weebly, I had set up Weebly sites for each student to "play" with. I spent some time in the computer lab showing the students the basics of using the Weebly site. They then had time to develop and share their Weebly sites. The premise for this was to familiarize my students with the mechanics of navigating their way around the site so that when they were to work on the unit of study site they could feel comfortable navigating their way around it. The students worked through units around our Aboriginal theme. The first unit was based on how the Aboriginals viewed animals as important to their culture. The second unit was based on how story telling is a large part of the Aboriginal way of life. The students viewed the content either at school during our computer time or at home.
