Week 6

As teachers dive into their curriculums, orientations in the lab slow, and students are really starting to apply the tech skills they learned at the beginning of the year.  Here's a sample of the week 6 projects:

World Language Classes Practice their Written and Oral Skills:
Ms. Hanley, Ms. Verdaguer, and Ms. Martin all spent some time in the lab with their French and Spanish students, using a variety of tools to reinforce language skills.  Ms. Hanley an interactive online textbook, Ms. Verdaguer had her students practice word processing, saving to the server, and uploading to Google docs, and Ms. Martin had her students practice their skills at their own levels using Quia.  Click on the teacher names to check out their websites for more information.

8E Use Google Docs to Wrap Up Their Persuasive Essays:
Mr. Swan's class continued to draft their persuasive essays using Google docs.  Mr. Swan conferenced with the students using Google docs' "comments" feature.  Check out his website for details.

7C Use Online Tools to Make Lectures Interactive:
Mr. Souza used the lab to add interactive features to his lecture on dissection.  His interesting activity engaged students, and prepared them to dissect in his biology class.  Check out his website for more information!


8E Learn How to Read Topographical Maps:
Mr. Hayes' class used software formatted for the OS9 operating system, which breaks down topographical maps into their parts, teaching students how to read and use them.  Students practiced their note taking skills, by defining key terms necessary for reading the maps.  This study enhanced their study of geology.
