Medieval Fair with Google Docs, Photoshop and Sketchup

The 7th Grade Social Studies students began this project by spending two days in the lab doing research. Team leaders from each group received guidelines from their teachers by accessing the teachers' shared folders. From there, the team leaders used Google Docs to share the documents with their team members and then proceeded to complete the research.



Once they finished, students used Photoshop or Sketchup to create graphics that would serve two purposes: decorate their booth, and explain to visitors how their medieval group lived during that time. This part of the project took three days.
