Welcome
In this area you will find general information about using technology and web-based learning techniques in the classroom, as well as specific teaching suggestions and plans to help students at various levels take advantage of the educational potential of the 2007 Rex "The Lunar Realm" theme. We welcome suggestions and teaching plans submitted by teachers, and will post them in this area as they are received. |

Internet Resources
Rex in the Classroom relies heavily on web-based research and learning methods. To help teachers in guiding student research we have prepared selected weblinks which make good starting points for studying the subjects of the individual floats in the 2007 Parade, "The Lunar Realm." Teachers should use care as some versions of myths can be violent and disturbing, especially to younger children.
To download the 2007 Parade Notes with Selected Weblinks, please click here.
Louise S. McGehee School students (seen here and in the picture above) use their laptop computers to work on Rex in the Classroom projects. |

Art Projects
Each year the Rex theme has provided inspiration for very creative student art projects. This year's parade features many lovely images derived from mythology, poetry, and history. We will be glad to post lesson plans and ideas for art projects, as well as examples of student work based on this year's theme. |
