Freewebs- A Virtual Library Collection Project Idea

Are you teaching seniors graduating this year?

Do you think these students will pack boxes of books to bring their new dorm or apartment to begin their college career? Don’t think so.

Here’s an assignment you can begin now to help them make a collection of all the resources they will need to begin college classes prepared. Have them create a 'Virtual Library' loaded with resources they will need when they begin their lives as college students next fall.

Use Freewebs, a great site for students to create their own Virtual Library Collection website:

• Begin by having them layout the web page in subject areas or career areas.
• Then have the students begin linking to online resources such as dictionary and thesaurus links, the periodic table, foreign language sites, English sites for writing research papers, maps for geography courses, and continue collecting all the digital resources they will need to succeed in their courses.

So when your seniors get to college next fall all they have to do is refer back to their Virtual Library Collection with all the links they accumulated this year on one site that will be easy for them to access from anywhere, anytime.

The Virtual Library Collection is a great graduation gift for your students that will give them digital resources they can refer back to over time to succeed in their college career.
