When I give this link to my students this school year, they were very much interested to view the site because they will be able to see their pictures online, and aside from that, they can also view other pictures from my previous students and their projects. Upon giving the url for this link, i also give them some research about local materials in our country or perhaps in the locality.
Though not all were able to browse for some answers since majority of them are not familiar with computers. They were able to ask the help of a friend in order to navigate the internet (surely this will slowly motivate them to use the computers and later on they will learn as they go along)....but generally some were not able to do so because of financial reason...they can't afford to stay longer in the internet... Since they were able to view this site, one student suggested that i should include sites that will lead them directly to the topics in our lesson, so that it would be easier for them to browse and answer their assignments.
In this site I included related links / site that will surely link them to our topics. This was specially made for my students in Related Crafts and Recycling, ------- for easier browsing as well as advance reading on topics to be taken. A very brilliant suggestion indeed! (from one of my students this school year). Here they will be easily directed to the topic without spending more time on the internet looking at so many related links....
Additional sites where you can find more information about local materials found in our country.
