Old (but VERY important stuff) is in red and new stuff is in green.
- 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. Thank you Judy McGibboney, Rebecca Davis, and Sarah Prince for already taking me up on this offer.

- 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.
- Grades – Grades must be verified by 8:00 Thursday morning. To access the updated end-of-six-weeks checklist for your grade, go to Blackboard>Elliott Staff Resources>Documents>Technology>Gradespeed. As always e-mail me with any questions that you may have, preferably before 7:59 AM on Thursday morning.

- Website of the Week – IISD Video Streaming Page – This is linked off of the both the teacher webpage and the student webpage. Search for videos to use for the whole class or let students explore science topics and compare them to what you have learned in class. Power Videos is the only one that students cannot access on their own.
- Paperless Classroom Tip #3 – Old Papers – This is from Diane Mikkelson. When you organize you file cabinet and get rid of old papers, use them as printer paper. This also sets a good example for your students and they will look to save paper for you as well.
- Technology Tip – This is from Mr. Rocha. Put a picture of the keyboard the students are using on the screen when you are using laptops with the students, especially for the first time. You can point out where the ctrl+alt+delete keys are and many other helpful features. This will let you solve problems as a group, instead of individually. Feel free to use the pictures above.
