This has been a busy week getting things in order to go to the ISTE- International Society for Technology in Education this June in Philadelphia. We were nominated as a team for an award, although we won't know until early June if we will receive it, we still wanted to attend this conference. If you are going let us know!
Our
entire district participated in a book study Grading Smarter Not Harder
by Myron Dueck. As the culminating
activity for the book study we Skyped with him, in our big auditorium, at our
Professional Development meeting on Wednesday.
We were able to listen to his point of view on specific topics and we
got to ask questions. We then met with
mixed groups from our elementary on up to high school to discuss the chapters
in the book. My big take away from the
book is to make sure our assessments match up with our learning targets. He inspired my grade level to build a unit
based in principle of the way he outlines unit planning in his book.
One more thing...we did this editing activity and I loved it so I wanted to share this too...I got the idea from another teacher - go figure! She called it "Slide the Line" you partner students up and have them face each other. I asked students to read their writing to their partner. Their partner's job was to tell two things they liked about the writing and two things that could make it even better. Then the other person read their writing. I gave them time to share then jingled the chimes and one line slid down one person. Then they had a new partner and repeated the activity. They loved it and got lots of feedback on their writing. When I do it next time I will have them spread out a bit more because they were pretty close to each other...might make it easier for partnerships to hear. Fun to try new things!!

We learned about this online engineering program today from our high school. They use CAD...this program is called Tinkercad for younger students. I have a student who figured it out very quickly. He is making 3D design plans for a toy
train. We are then going to send it over to the high school where they can print it out on the 3D printer! Just amazing!
Telligami looks like fun! I'll have to check it out.
