I sent in my receipts for my last grant and the money came back to me within the week. Wow! And they did not ask for my original credit card statement. Then I would have had to wait over a month. The Silicon Valley Education Foundation rocks. And then on Friday, I found out that I received another Grant! My students are so excited. Memory for electronic portfolios. - we start working on that project Monday. I think that will be my project for the 30th.
I plan to do a joint effort of both paper and electronic portfolio reflections. I plan to set up everyone one with a file on the server where I will post their 3 submissions to their portfolio for my class. I will also scan in other refections that I have received. It sounds a bit overwhelming but I think the hard stuff is just to get started.
I love using google forms in my social studies class. I have my students write down the definitions form the book and then input them into a google form. I change the background each week so I know they are doing the write form. From the spreadsheet, I can tell if they are on track or not. If not, I know I need to do a reteach. I just love it. I entered that as a lesson plan for lessonopoly. I used it for Egyptian terms.
My other good news is that I received the $400 check from the Target corporation for my field trip. My students are so excited. I made a slide show for them earlier. Now they each are going to take pictures and share what we learned. I guess I could write another project about this one. Anyone who reads this could offer advice. Thanks!
The developers from Teachergate say they like my feedback. I send them reports when things don't work as they should. I love being able to send my students files with a click of the button. I am using my students email address from our closed google site system. It is great. I sent them a facebook page as a doc and then they are doing a math project of their famous mathematician. Oh, I guess this could count as another project.
My sixth graders are writing their five paragraph essay using google documents. It is fun to edit their paragraphs with them as me, and send them off to write some more. They seem to enjoy it. They are writing about the differences between the book and the movie of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I guess that could be a project also.
I need help on choosing my next project!
I do need to write up a grant for the Merit program. Are there any volunteers to read what I write to give input? I plan to ask for money for a few netbook computers. I really need my whole class to have access to the internet so they can do google forms, write documents, etc.
Well I guess week 18 has been an exciting week.
