Meeting 1

12/12:  Scott, RoJean, Amanda, Megan, Lori

Student was responsible for creating a video that would be the instructional video for the entire class.  Students were required to watch the video in a method of flipping at home before taking the quiz.

Trying to utilize Smart Capture to make video of lessons/presentations.

How to make an event like MultiCulture Fest more techy, and get away from the just poster boards.  Could you incorporate a digital footprint - like a video of their board walk through, photos, documenting the procedure, etc.   Also, using video to demonstrate their understanding of Latin roots/quotes.

Using Infograhics with the 4th grade to show their understanding of collecting and displaying data.  Need to find a website that is 4th grade and iPad friendly.

Girls are better are putting iPads away when told to do so.  Boys tend to need more reminders and tend to stay on iPad after being told to put them away.  Is that really tech related or just a gender difference?  Discussion to be continued...

Next meeting: Come prepared to discuss gender differences in technology usage.

KJ's Student Created Syllable Review Video

Ariana and Molly spent over two hours creating this video (not only did they both ace the quiz but they received 5 extra credit points!)

NOTE:  Do not attempt to upload a video from google drive because we don't have permission to watch.


Goal of our Group :)

Scott, RoJean, Amanada, Julie, Megan, Lori

Our goal is to determine effective methods for students to show their learning via technology.
