In the Classroom
Include ChatterHigh as part of any career exploration opportunity for students. This site was created in Canada, so many quizzes relate to Canadian sites; however, the information may be useful for many career searches. Use the information found on quizzes as the basis for students creating their own questions for career and college searches. After researching information, have students make a multimedia presentation to discuss with their peers what they discovered about a career path they may want to take. Replace traditional presentations by using slides, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16470">reviewed here</a>, if you are starting the process of integrating technology into your classroom. slides is an easy tool to manage if you are familiar with PowerPoint or Keynote.
