This week's teacher feature highlights Lindsey Kress and Amy Shermeyer from the high school science department. These ladies had their students use PowToon to create animated presentations about naming chemical formulas. Students even created presentations that had explosions! As if that was not enough, this activity was completely self-guided and student-driven. These students had no previous knowledge of naming compounds. This project gave them the freedom to take learning into their own hands. Great job ladies!
This week's teacher feature is bowing down to those who presented at the Tech Carousel. I have heard such great things about the presenters and all the ideas they shared with the district. I am happy to announce this was a huge success. I could feel the excitement from each and every one of you! Check out the pictures below. This week I had the pleasure of assisting Ms. Nancy Smith's 3rd graders in learning how to play some fun math games on the Chromebooks. Students had the choice to play a couple of games to practice their multiplication and division skills. We were Math Ninjas, Space Invaders, Race Car Drivers, and more! The students even figured out how to play against each other on the Chrome games. That really inspired some students to do their best. If you aren't sure how to find and download Chrome apps, check here as I posted a tutorial on how to do so. Chrome apps are a great way to incorporate technology into your classroom and you can use them on any device with a Google Chrome Browser.
