Movie Maker

I am planning on doing something on the Kalamazoo Oil Spill. If anyone else is doing this let me know.

Slept In

Sorry class... I accidentely slept in today. I stayed up late doing homework for this other class where my group isn't really pulling their weight. I'm going to try to go into a different lab, I would go in right now, but I live 45/60 minutes away.

Updated Concept Map

Podcast Tomorrow

I'm going to head into the lab after I go to Portage Central to teach. I'll be in at 1 and record 3-5 minutes. I didn't pick out any music, but I figure anything we can put on two loops (like a 5 minute song) would work. I'll make sure they leave the computer on. If you need anything text 269-986-0403, I'll be heading to school/conditioning practice after I'm done.

Podcast

So I'm having a slight issue knowing where to pick up with my script for my podcast. I know I am going last but I'm not sure what everyone else is incorporating into their script, so I'm not sure where that leaves me. I will do my best with what we have "yet to do" as a "class" and tweak it tomorrow since we are recording on Friday. :)

Podcast

I'm doing my script tonight (hopefully), I've been busy but it's my last shift at work for a while, then I'm just coaching. I'll make it 3-5 minutes and be ready to record whenever.

Slight issues with Podcast

Hey guys,
Any chance we can record the podcast on a different day than in class Monday? My grandma passed away and her burial is Monday morning.

Podcast Question

Hey, So I was reading the requirements for the podcast and it says 2 concepts from the textbook. I didn't want to do my script and then us not have that part included or do it and have the same concept as you guys. But, now the more I look at it Lacie, would you be including those because you're doing the section what we are doing.

Podcast

I'll make up my script this week and post it on here. I'm just going to introduce project base learning and use 3-4 minutes on what is about and how we plan to use it in our classroom. I'm going to introduce myself, any ideas on the transition at the end of my podcast?

Kelsie!

In class we were talking about the order of the podcast. We are planning to write our scripts sometime this week on our own so we can have them ready to go and record in a couple weeks. Kevin is going to be the first one to talk. He is introducing project based learning. The second should talk about "what we have done in class" (this can be made up, but use ideas from concept map) and the third person is talking about "where we are going" (what we haven't done yet, what we want to do, etc.) So my question is what person do you want to be? Second or third to speak? It doesn't matter to me, I just want to work on my script because we don't have class next week. Thanks!

Web assignment

Don't forget that Web Evaluations are due at Midnight!

Lesson Plan Idea

I'm planning on doing my lesson on landfills. With landfills the students will research using hot lists. With this research they will find out how exactly a landfill is put together. They will then collaborate with 2 other students to make the landfill. The ultimate project will have them see how things decompose (i.e. bananas versus plastic). They will then do a presentation on their project in front of the class explaining what they put in there and why. Not sure what else the project is going to be about but this is it so far. For the landfills I am going to get plastic cases so they can see through the plastic (transparent). Then a week after the lesson (should be immediate results with some of it) we can see how certain things decompose.

I found some websites that I am going to evaluate. I have four, but there are so many I might keep looking. The first is recycling-revolution, the second is epa.gov/recyclecity, the third is educationworld.com, and the fourth is edtech.kennesaw.edu. -Lacie
