- Media Fair – Let your students produce! The name of the Media Fair game is creation. Students create, students submit, students win, students feel confident about themselves. Every student should participate. Every student can be a part of this. Use what you already do in the classroom for this: research papers, Paint, Power Points, Publisher posters, etc. E-mail me to work on whole class projects. All entries are due December 10th. Click here to log-in and review rules.
- Open Lab – Media Fair Work Time – Do you have one or a few students who want to do a project? Do they keep bugging you about some idea that they want to do? I have made 8 dates to work specifically on Media Fair entries in the computer lab with individual or small groups of students. This is for your students who keep up with classroom work, but do not get the opportunity to work on independent technology products. Check the dates below and send me an e-mail to reserve time(s) for your student(s). If I get a lot of students signed-up, I will schedule more time.

Tuesday, November 17th – 9-10
Friday, November 20th – 1-2:30
Monday, November 30th – 8-9

- Tech Fusion 2.0 – Tech Fusion is here again. Use your students’ products from Media Fair for your Tech Fusion 2.0 lesson submissions. Click here for details and an overview. Your first Tech Fusion submission is due December 17th. Hint for the uncreative: search for previous Tech Fusion lessons by subject/grade. See if you could improve upon someone else’s lesson. Team-up with another teacher and you both get credit. All teachers must submit two Tech Fusion lessons.
- Website of the Week – NetSmartzKidz – Students can never have enough internet safety lessons. Use this website to let students learn about proper internet usage. Here is a link to a password rap. Seriously, it’s a rap about passwords.
- Technology Tip – Search for lessons in Tech Fusion 2.0 for good ways to integrate technology into your classroom.
- Paperless Classroom Tip #2 – Power Point – E-mail a Power Point presentation to teachers/students or drop a Power Point into students' H drives. We are all used to giving a Power Point presentation and printing copies for the audience or not giving copies at all and making the audience rely on memory. Why not send it or give it electronically before the presentation? Your audience will be able to take ownership of the Power Point to make it fit their needs. Students can add notes and pictures to it. Teachers can elaborate and type ideas for lessons instead of filing it away.
