Shared Flip Camcorders

(1) teacher/school provided flash drive

(1) teacher/school provided digital camera.

Computer Lab with 28 Computers for student use. || Students will research historic Ohio inventors and inventions. After learning about these inventors/inventions, the students, in groups of two-four will create an time-line which records these inventions. The teacher will stress that history is an ongoing process and that past inventions are as important as inventions in today's world. Students will then be instructed to create their own group time capsule recording information, events, and current inventions of today's society. Students will be provided with flip camcorders and digital cameras to add a personal touch to their projects. They should at least include the following information:
 * 1) //**Name of School**//
 * 2) //**Grade Level**//
 * 3) //**Teacher**//
 * 4) //**Friends**//
 * 5) //**Favorite Book**//
 * 6) //**Favorite Song/Type of Music**//
 * 7) //**Favorite Subject**//
 * 8) //**Worst Subject**//
 * 9) //**Field Trips**//
 * 10) //**Fashion**//
 * 11) //**Extra curricular activities**//
 * 12) //**Sayings**//
 * 13) //**Slang**//
 * 14) //**Sports**//
 * 15) //**TV Shows**//
 * 16) //**Movies**//
 * 17) //**President**//
 * 18) //**Current Events**//
 * 19) //**Current Inventions**//
 * 20) //**Current Technology**//

Students may should compile their time capsule on flip camcorders or save it onto the teacher provided flash drive. Teacher may compile student data and student time capsules on an online time capsule website such as http://www.electronictimecapsule.com/. The teacher may also save student data onto a flash drive and possibly bury it as a traditional time capsule. || In Time Capsules: Tools of the Classroom Historian, George W. Maxim discusses how using time capsules in the classroom creates mystery and intrigue for the students.

|| The time-line activity coupled with the time capsule activity most likely would be considered Tried and True. However, creating an electronic time capsule may be considered new and innovative to the educational arena. ||
