Mrs. Mills’ class got their kicks on Route 66 by taking a digital road trip along the iconic highway, researching and documenting a famous landmark from each state along the way. 🛣️💻
From classic diners in Illinois to glowing neon signs in Missouri, breathtaking desert views in Arizona, and the final stop at the Santa Monica Pier, each pair used technology to explore, research, and present a snapshot of the Mother Road’s rich history and local flavor.
This project was a great example of how incorporating technology into learning can deepen understanding, boost collaboration, and spark creativity—all while bringing history to life.
