BACK-UP INFORMATION
When using any form of technology, especially the Internet, it is essential to have a back-up
plan in case your technology fails on the day you plan to use it in class. Below
are ways to insure that students continue to work on this project in the event of an Internet connection problem.
- Back-up web page: In most cases, back-up web pages have
been provided within each of the activities / lessons for each of
the external weather web sites, real-time satellite images, web
cams, etc. It is highly recommended that you review each of the
primary and back-up sites prior to each activity to insure that
they are operational when you need them. In the unlikely chance
that they are not, the following weather web pages can be used as alternatives
(note: you will need to access the sites and look up the cities):
- Save the files: You can save the web pages to a disk / hard drive
or cache of your computer beforehand.
- Hard copies: Print and make copies of specific images or data (e.g.
satellite images, archived weather data such as historical
temperature information, project
data, etc.) ahead of time to have on hand.
- Non-technological options:
- Watching an educational video on the weather, meteorology,
hurricanes, el Niño or La Niña, etc. It is recommended that you have the video before you begin this project if
you intend to use this Implementation Assistance Strategy.
- Journal writing: Students can write what it might be like to
live in a another place that has different weather such as the location of one of the
other cities, how the difference in weather might affect people's lives,
etc.
