    Also see: http://www.relayforlife.org/learn/relayforeveryone/studentrelays/relay-recess "How can your students become superheroes in the fight against cancer? Relay Recess brings Relay For Life to elementary schools nationwide. It provides students, teachers, and administrators the opportunity to become heroes in their own communities. It also brings cancer education and community service to the classroom in a fun and exciting way. It also engages elementary school students in the fight against cancer through fundraising activities that support cancer programs and services in every community. It gives students the chance to get out of the classroom and have fun with entertainment and activities that reinforce what they have learned. Because the program is so flexible, it's different at every school and is an excellent opportunity to showcase unique qualities about your school and your community."

National Optical Astronomy Observatory: Project ASTRO Tucson - 1 views

  • Developed by the Astronomical Society of The Pacific and coordinated in Tucson by NOAO, this unique educational program offers teachers instruction in conducting hands-on inquiry-based science activities in their classrooms plus an astronomer partner with whom to present the activities.
  •  
    This is a fantastic program for anyone who teaches about space/astronomy. You get matched with an astronomer partner for a whole year and get lots of great resources. If you want to participate you have to attend both days of the workshop in Tucson, but it's worth doing (and it's free). I did it a few years ago if you have any questions.

There's Blogging and There's Blogging… | Primary Tech - 0 views

  • When it comes to classroom blogging, I am an advocate of a program that: begins with a class blog before allowing students to work on their own blogs is integrated into a literacy program on a regular basis (while incorporating other curriculum areas) sets high standards for writing, design, netiquette etc. is regularly maintained and is an evolving space allows students to express themselves while improving their educational outcomes provides feedback and explicit teaching to students begins with a high level of teacher guidance, before increasingly offering students more responsibility.

Kids Book Reviews - Book Reviews and Ratings by Kids at DOGO Books - 1 views

  •  
    Have students write book reviews and publish their reviews for others to read. "Vicki Davis 07 Oct 13 03:30:18 I noticed that Wikispaces included Dogo books under a new "Education" category in the widget menu. (This looks like a television on the edit bar when you click to Edit a wiki.) So, Dogobooks is a place where kids are writing book reviews about everything. Very cool. You can see the most popular books and ti also has book clubs and other ways for kids to connect. This is a very cool site for helping kids love learning and may also augment Accelerated Reader programs nicely."

Elementary Coaching Chronicles - 9 views

  •  
    Technology is in the forefront of everything we do as collaborators in the classroom. Teachers incorporating the use of technology while lesson planning increases engagement and rigor. Lessons are enhanced and students are focused. Many of the projects we were involved in incorporated technology and we collaborated with others at the school site and across the district. Valuable relationships were formed among the students and the teachers. Teachers not involved with the collaboration process also benefited from this through observing what was taking place in our classrooms. These teachers then requested to be involved in the program. Relationships were built, the use of technology was increased, and a 21st Century classroom was created.

    Your video was outstanding. It was encouraging to see so many students engaged with so many different types of technology. These activities would not have been happening if it weren't for the coaching that took place to support the teachers in implementing the technology. I wonder how you feel about your accomplishments?
  •  
    It was great to watch this video and see so many different instructors using so many different types of technology, at multiple locations! Since my son is one of the people that has benefited because of the changes that have been made I want to thank you not only as a member of your community but as a parent! Thanks for doing what is best for kids!
  •  
    This is an awesome video. It does a great job of depicting how far we have come as a district in using technology to create a 21st Century learning environment. I am wondering how we can still reach the hesitant few that haven't yet embraced technology.
  •  
    Another great presentation. Wow, AJUSD really uses technology to help students learn! It was really interesting seeing the students use technology in different ways! Great day.
  •  
    I am in awe over what you have achieved with your students. It was encouraging to know that the students that are heading up to the high school will already have so many of the basic skills necessary to be ready for year thirteen. I love vimeo, too, and am going to incorporate it into my lessons next year. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    This really does a wonderful job of showcasing how effective collaboration coaching has been for not only those coaches directly involved, but how much the students have benefited as well. Excellent job in presenting the experiences of your year.
  •  
    Those students are going to be coming up to the junior and senior high so prepared. Thank you! Knowing that they are coming up to the higher grades with the ability to work with technology and work with each other at the same time is reassuring. Excellent work, guys!
  •  
    I love how your video focuses on how becoming a 21st C classroom is a process that we (teachers & students) are somewhere along the spectrum.

    Being a visual learner, this was perfect. I was imagining my year's experience as I listened to your presentation. Yep, so many of us were all locked up at the beginning of the year and have since allowed ourselves to be unlocked to what technology has to offer. I know I'm somewhat unlocked. My lock is still rusty and the inside mechanisms don't move smoothly, but then there's next year for that! Thank you.

    This was a terrific video. Not only was a sense of humor used, but it was right on as far as how we felt as coaches at the beginning and how the teachers were feeling when we started. Now it truly is a collaboration process for all teachers, students, and the school as a whole. If I was not a Collaboration Coach, I would want to be one now! I am excited to be apart of this program again next year!
  •  
    Collaboration Coaching at AJHS has allowed us to better use our instructional time and resources to effectively engage and inspire students. Through training sessions and frequent interactions, we have been able to share ideas, receive encouragement, and seek guidance on lesson plans. In looking forward we anticipate creating a stronger support system, increasing student achievement and accountability, and discovering resources to better teach 21st Century skills.
  •  
    You hit a major point when you discuss the isolation that teachers feel. We used to be alone--but with coaching it brings us out of our "dungeons" and gets us together. The coaching and the technology have been the light at the end of the tunnel for so many of us! Great video! Very nicely done.
  •  
    I love the visuals! The symbolism of being isolated on an island is something we can call relate to. Your video made the collaboration process seem positive and exciting. You chose a great narrator, too!
  •  
    Love the analogy! It's great to see the different ways an "assignment" can be interpreted. Your video did a perfect job of describing how it can come together, and we can all (students and teachers) share success from collaboration. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    Loved the video. It does a great job of showing the journey and how the excitement spreads when collaboration is involved. I'm wondering how we can "free" those still locked in the dungeon.

    Superb summary of your/our experiences for this year.
