Today my 6th graders read to the K class. They loved it. We video'ed each student reading. What a great experience. My 7th and 8th graders read to a K/1 class yesterday. Thanks Camille. It was a wonderful experience watching these soon to be highschoolers interacting with the very young students. Now I just need the time to make a movie.
I wrote for another grant for a back up disk for my mac computer and my scanner to help with my digital portfolio project. I also asked for 16 chrome netbooks to use google in my class exclusively. I will have to learn how to do photo's and video's with just a netbook if I get picked to pilot these.
My math students picked their famous mathematicians. I let them do their own google search to find who they wanted to study. This was before our party today.
My social studies students need more help in review before being sent to enter into their google form. I need to review the answers I am looking for. Some of them need to write it in their notebook before putting it online.
I had both Language Arts classes learn how to set up a new gogle doc but entering the inside of the holiday card they were making for their families. That was cool. They seem to catch on really quick and love to help each other get there. The quirk was printing the. It seems everything needs to go to adobe before it can print? Any advise?
I found the flip cameras really don't work on my macs. My son's mac which is over 9 years old does not have a garage band that can work for pod casting. Can I upgrade? Is it too old to upgrade?
I can't figure out how to use the paperless software. It does not seem intuative. I asked for help but no response so far from the district office. I know everyone is busy this time of year.
My plans for my two weeks away from the classroom: fill out grant forms for Digital Wishlist, call the Egyptian museum to schedule my trip with my Discovery grant, sign up for two classes at Foothill college, and of course lesson plan for January. May be I can ski a few runs as well.
