- Completed and arranged last sessions of Apple training. - Co-teached with Apple in mini-sessions - Started a week long project at Hearne "How Does Living in NC Affect Me?" Students are using QR codes daily to relfect on how living in NC affects them. Listening to NC music from Roberta Flack, James Taylor, and Fantasia. Led students to use census data to compare NC to the USA and wilson to NC. Students were able to tell how education levels are lower, income levels are lower, poverty levels are higher here in Wilson than NC and the USA. Students reflected their findings on todays meet about what they could do to change the figures as a class. Students created green screen videos to persuade others to move to the three regions (coastal, mountain, and piedmont regions). Students watched persuasive commercials on youtube. Students were also given a budget to plan a trip to a place in NC. They had to calculate gas, tickets, hotel arrangements, food expenses. All of these projects were done on the ipad. - First grade students worked on map skills using scribblemaps. Me and the students created a map on the smartboard and they accessed the map we created using a QR code and we held an activity about the compass and where their school is in relation to Mcdonalds, hospital, and the movie theater. I led the teacher to further the activity as students created their own storykit ebook about their "virtual field trip" -Third grade students at Vick - Led lesson to show students how to use project gutenburg. Since hollywood has a lot of emphasis on fairytales, we looked at Grimm's tales. I led the students to use a QR code to download the book, and we read the book together. As we read the book, we defined words we didnt know, I asked the students probing questions and they took "notes" in the notebook feature. We discussed the text "Rumpelstiltskin", talked about morals, compromising your values, and the students then watched a cartoon from youtube (5 minutes). I led the teacher to have students create a venn diagram to compare the text and movie. This was done without me. - Started the HNN Student news network.
