 * [|Blogging website for Dr. Data.] Buhler USD teachers Nancy Johnson, Tanya Ketchum, Tim Harris, and Brenda Dunning, along with their facilitator Tammy Gilley, wanted to extend learning beyond the classroom walls by giving students the opportunity to answer questions posted to their class math blog. Students are answering questions from the field and choosing methods for teaching the concepts, which they then post to the blog. Go to the [|Dr. Data blog site] to see previous student responses. Also, visit one of the comment sections and ask them something! They need more questions! The Prosperity teachers used [|Blogger] to create their blog.[|.] Click below to download a PDF of their lesson plan:
 * Vernier Science Equipment - Students in 6th grade at Perry Lecompton Middle School are very familiar with Vernier science equipment. All students first developed a thorough understanding of the scientific process by participating in multiple teacher-led scientific investigations. Students then worked collaboratively to design and conduct various investigations in the area of Physical or Earth Science. As a concluding activity, students created and presented a final product in a multimedia presentation of choice. Visit the lesson plan and teaching video to learn more.
 * Math Matters! - White City Elementary TRC students in Grades 3-6 worked collaboratively to seek answers to the age-old question, “When am I ever going to use this math stuff again?” Students developed a set of interview questions and drafted a letter used to invite adults to participate in their project. Students formed teams of four and set out with Flip video and camera in hand to interview adults and learn how adults use math in their personal and/or business life. Each team consisted of a videographer, a photographer, an interviewer, and a recorder. Following the interview, each student team developed an end-product of their choice (Voice Thread, Glogster, PowerPoint, video) to share the information gathered from the interviewee and to create grade-level appropriate word problems to illustrate the concepts covered in the interview. Check out the lesson plan, student samples, and teaching video for more about this great lesson.

The students first reviewed what it takes to make a good retelling from a reading. Next they created a machine to help students in other classrooms be successful on the state assessment by using the retelling machine to help them select the best retelling. After sharing what they had learned with student in their own buildings they wanted to share that information with a partner school so they decided to use technology to create a digital retelling machine using SmartBoard or PowerPoint to share with L’Ouverture. Students from both buildings then met up on Skype to test out the retelling machine. Visit the lesson plan and teaching video for more information.
