A Few More....

  One of our math teachers here, Ms. Brown, is getting her Master's Degree in Technology.  For one of her classes she had various assignments.  She was willing to let me blog about them and post here for use if anyone would like them!:)

1. Netiquette - This page was written for young adults in the context of a high school classroom. However, the ideas and guidelines discussed are also applicable for any internet-using adults.

2. Web Assessibility - This page is intended for undergraduate students studying the basic principles of web design. However, this page would also be appropriate for graduate students or adults of any age that are beginning to learn about web design.

3. Solving Quadratics - This page was designed for high school students in Algebra 2 who are learning about solving quadratic equations. 

4. Measures of Central Tendency - This jigsaw activity was designed as a cooperative learning experience where you will learn about the different measures of central tendency in small, student-run groups. Each of you will become an expert in one measure of central tendency and then you will teach others about it. Likewise, the other people in your group will teach you about the measure of central tendency they became an expert on. This activity is based on Elliot Aronson’s Jigsaw Classroom model. 

5. Fibonacci Field Trip 

6. Geometry in Architecture 

7. Extreme Makeover: Basement Addition Webquest 

THANK YOU MS. BROWN:)!!!  If you have ANY questions about any of these, I am sure Ms. Brown would be TOTALLY fine with you contacting her via email from one of these sites:)!!
 

Happy Weekend,
Mrs. I:)

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students.  They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say.  Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS .  THIS IS AMAZING:)!!!  Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code.  You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks.  Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel.  This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids.  We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...

Starfall Website......

  I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT!  The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here.  Below is a list of content for the little ones:    The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section.  They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went.  They were TOTALLY engaged!  They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress.    A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:(  - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
