The Anatomy and Physiology students are using Weebly, a web-site generator to present their findings in their study of stem-cell research. They are tasked with creating a web-site that would educate the general public about stem-cells in an unbiased way. Check back here in the coming weeks for examples of this project.
The sixth and eighth grade students have been busy in the TLC this week. The sixth grade Spanish classes created Blabbarize videos to develop writing and speaking skills. The eighth grade students continued their work on the National History Day project by developing their thesis statement and gathering primary and secondary sources into their Evernote account via Evernote Web Clipper and Evernote Clearly. These two browser add-ons allow students to "clip" web content.
The Upper and Middle School faculty had the opportunity to attend a technology workshop on Wednesday afternoon. The focus of this workshop was collaborative tools the teachers could use in their classroom to facilitate group work among students. The four tools covered were:
Mentormob: An online platform that allows users to create "playlists" of content including web-sites, documents, images, videos, articles, and quizzes.
Weebly: A tool that allows students to create professional web-sites.
TitanPad: A collaborative web-based text document that allows students to collaborate in one space in real-time.
Trello: An online tool that allows students to manage a project by creating "boards" and "cards" to stay organized.
