As part of the work in a six week computer class the 8th Grade students at Pocantico Hills School choose a year from a specific decade to examine in detail. Using electronic sources, print material, and the Internet they will create a web page with Internet links to each of those events. The purpose of the work is to become adept at using search engines effectively and critically examining those resources they discover on the internet-not an easy task. If you feel we left out something "very important" please let us know. Meanwhile, enjoy your visit!
