This short trail was created to demonstrate the ability of Trailfire to hold questions for students. If you mark a selection of Web sites for students to view in a trail, you might also embed questions at each mark on the trail to help focus students on specific elements on those Web pages. Otherwise, they may just browse aimlessly without ever picking up any information. You could have students answer the questions by leaving a comment on the mark, but that would give away the answer to other students. You could also have students work in groups and click the "email" link that sits atop each mark and send the teacher their responses via email. Or you could just give students a handout with all the questions or give them a file with the questions so they can take notes on a computer. Finally, note that instead of the teacher creating a trail for students, a great way for students to learn about a topic is to have them create trails and questions for a study partner or their peers.

This trail was created for students in the technology integration class ECI 511 at North Carolina State University. It provides an introduction to the range of tools and resources available to support math. As shown in the Roblyer text on page 329, technology is commonly used in math to help students represent mathematical concepts, solve mathematical problems, participate in data-driven activities, and communicate about math.

This trail was created for students in the technology integration class ECI 511 at North Carolina State University. It provides an introduction to the range of tools and resources available to support physical education and health. As shown in the Roblyer text on page 398, technology is commonly used in PE and health to help students monitor and improve motor skill performance, shape beliefs and behaviors toward proper physical activity, assess personal health goals, and obtain valid health information. Many opportunities exist for interdisciplinary projects with science and math, as students study the body and health trends.
