Classroom Activities

Rather than present one long list the activities have been grouped. However, since there are many ways to categorize the activities and many activities can fit in multiple groups, there is some repetition. The groups were selected accoring to how the product is communicated: with sound, light, action, or combination of these; or the processes students use to complete and present the activity. Additionally categorization for the social aspect of an activity as completed in groups or individually.
