Innovative Classroom Design at AHSAs part of a technology pilot at AHS, we are looking at ways to empower students by changing the design of the classroom. Some of the changes are physical (tables, walls, even the floor) and some are virtual (Google Apps, My Big Campus, Moodle). The idea is to create a space that fosters student inquiry, increases engagement, and allows for seamless technology integration. Enjoy the video below...
Writing on the wall?One of the more powerful ways Kate Wollershiem is using her IdeaPaint Wall is by making it a "Student Communication Space". Do you have a space in your room where students can write responses or ask questions? Simply writing questions like...
*What are you still confused about? *What would you like to know more about? *If the test is tomorrow, what would you need help with? ...can really gear your instruction to fit your students needs. Try giving up one of you whiteboards or hang up some butcher paper and see what happens! |

Server Clean Up
We have noticed that our servers are starting to fill up. Please take some time to clean up, organize, delete, or move your documents. Looking back at my own server folder, I found documents dating back to my 1st grade teaching , pre-gray hair, time. I burned the documents to CD and deleted them from my server folder.
Don't forget to go back and clean up your shared-folder materials as well. Again, I am very guilty, I had folders from classes that haven't been opened in two years.
Happy Cleaning...Thanks in advanced for helping out!
