We started by learning about Common Core Standards and Project Based Learning. Here is the link to the Prezi presentation that we made. Presentation
Then I made an iMovie overview of the first few units. The title above is a link to the iMovie so click on it to see it.
And continued with a lesson in progress on calculating speed. Students will make a Google Presentation or Powerpoint about the speed of a vehicle and an animal with information that they have researched on the web. Here is the Word document with instructions for the students.
We are teachers engaged in technology enriched project based learning. Our goal is to generate ideas and skills that will enhance our classrooms and engage our students.
Sharing Our Work
We have shared food and ideas. Now it is time to post and share our work.
Please post your overall plan, your imovie and your prezi.
