Project Overview: Square of Life -- Studies in Local and Global Environments - 2 views

  •  
    This global collaborative project at http://ciese.org/curriculum/squareproj/ -- Registration closes SEPT 30 Driving questions: Why HERE and not THERE? Presents students with a world map and two animals/insects from different areas (EG Monarch butterfly and Australian stick insect specimens). Pose a challenging question: Why here and not there? Why there and not here? How can we find out? Register class on Square of Life, an Internet-based collaborative project that has students investigate their local environment and share information with students from around the world. Students examine a square yard of local ground and organize what they find into categories they define themselves: living and nonliving, plants and animals. Through close examination, they organize small creatures into groups by shared characteristics, and learn to discriminate between classes of animals, including insects and isopods. Theorize about the role of habitat and niche in insect distribution. Share their findings with Australian students (or students from around the glove) and report their conclusions about Why here and not there? Why there and not here?

Managing Student Work in Google Apps | AJUSD Campus Blogs - 0 views

  • This is absolutely awesome for managing student work in Google Apps. Doctopus allows you to share a document with your entire class without having to share individually and without having to place it in the Template Gallery. Plus, it collects all of the data in one spreadsheet! You can share the document for the whole class to work on it, for group work, or for individual work.

    This is worth your taking the time to look at.

CCJH Coaching Chronicles - 13 views

  •  
    This year our coaching experiences ranged from nervous anticipation to almost feeling like we knew what we were doing. The redeeming facet of our task was that so many of our peers benefited from the collaborative efforts from each house/team, the grade level, and throughout the school. As a result, our students have demonstrated amazing academic results. Please see the website to learn more about our perspectives from this school year.

    Very well done and comprehensive. I really liked all the different presentation tools used for the chronicles. It's refreshing to learn that we alll had the same apprehensions and the same successes!
  •  
    Wow! I like the way you all added your take on how you felt about collaboration coaching. The fact that each of you utilized a different piece of technology. I got many ideas of things to use in my own classroom.
  •  
    Even the presentation was a collaborative extravaganza! To have all the different technologies showcased as each group member shared their experience is a wonderful touch and offers the opportunity to experience a new resource. Well done!
  •  
    I love it! Very visual and from so many different points of view, but all with the same idea, what to expect? The approach you took to represent how you felt in the beginning and how you feel now was done perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    This was very grabbing! If I didn't know about Collaboration Coaching and what it entailed, I sure do now. :) This would be a great thing to share at Meet the Teacher night and get parents excited about things going on in our classrooms and schools. Great visuals!
  •  
    It is refreshing to know that others felt the same way I felt when beginning this collaboration journey. The nervous anticipation was there as well as a feeling of dread because of the unknown. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
  •  
    I love how everyone contributed something different to your Chronicles. It really showcased all the resources that are out there to fit every personality and teaching style. Your presentation showed that the collaboration process works! I love the animation---I'm going to have to try that.

    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.

National Day of Listening November 26 - 0 views

  •  
    As we become an older country, our greatest stories are sometimes lost when members of the generation before us dies. This four week unit is designed to encourage students to discover the hidden stories of their families and community. During the course of this project, students will interview members of their community and/or family members and develop a newsletter that provides background of the time period of the story and the person telling the story. Additional stories will be shared with the students by downloading clips from the stories that have been shared with members of Story Corps(www.nationaldayoflistening.org), one of the largest oral history projects in the world.

MentorMob - Learn What You Want, Teach What You Love - MentorMob - 1 views

  •  
    "MentorMob uses the "playlist" concept to collect and share information. I can see great potential in this application as place to gather multiple sources for creating a flexible architecture for learning." I'm not sure if this is better than Symbaloo, Squorl, or a Livebinder, but it's along the same idea with the exception of you place the sites you want in a play list, almost like an interactive presentation.

    This website is an amazing collection of global wildlife migration for several different species within different animal kingdoms. I really like how many resources there are for each area of study. Teacher resources are provided to integrate with reading and writing as well as the social science areas. I became particularly interested in the Gray Whales Migration because it has many terms 4th graders need to know. It also dicusses the migration of whales in their science book. I think it would be neat to share what we learn with others as we move through the project and monitor the migration of the whales. Places that are along the coast may actual get to see and report a sighting. We can share through our class blog and perhaps find other classes to skype with. One pitfall I see is the amount of time that could potential go into this project. But, it would be worth it.

Experts & NewBIEs | Bloggers on Project Based Learning: Get Your Community on Board wit... - 0 views

  • Lay the groundwork. Inform community members about the benefits of PBL. Use your district website or Facebook page to explain how projects prepare students for college and careers. Look for opportunities to have students talk about their projects with the media.
  • Recruit content-area experts. Inquiry is at the heart of PBL, and that means students are constantly asking questions. They often need to consult with content-area experts as part of their investigations. Recruit community members to share their expertise, and think broadly about the different experts you may want to enlist.
  • Recruit community clients. Give community members a close-up look at PBL by recruiting them as project clients.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Offer students as problem-solvers. Encourage community members to share problems or issues that would benefit from student problem solving
  • Open your doors. Invite community members to take part in PBL events, such as end-of-project celebrations and exhibitions of learning. Solicit their feedback as audience members. Chances are, they’ll come away with a new appreciate for how much students learn through PBL.
