BACK-UP INFORMATION
When using any form of technology, especially the Internet, it is essential to have a back-up plan in case your technology fails on the day you plan to use it in class. Below are ways to insure that students continue to work on this project in the event of an Internet connection problem.

• Alternative web sites: You can use alternative web sites if the primary ones are not working. Be sure to keep this information written down in a convenient location.
• Save the files: You can save the web pages to a disk / hard drive or cache of your computer beforehand.
• Hard copies: Print and make copies of specific images or data (e.g. the list of recent earthquakes) ahead of time to have on hand.
• Non-technological options:
  • Watching an educational video on earthquakes.  It is recommended that you have the video before you begin the unit on earthquakes and plate tectonics before you begin this project if you intend to use this Implementation Assistance Strategy.
  • Journal writing: Students can write what it might be like to experience an earthquake, volcano, etc.
