End of (Crazy) Week Update

Post date: Feb 07, 2014 10:15:4 PM

I am sorry for the repeat emails! I believe I fixed the problem!

Though it was a little crazy thanks to the weather, I believe students accomplished a lot this week.

Lesson Update:

We focused on "Effects of Technology" and used "Guided Questions" to help identify specific effects of specific technology.

Assignment Update:

Students are working in groups of 3-4 to put together a PowerPoint of the effects they identified. MONDAY is the last day during class to finish this Project. Students will be asked to highlight a few of the effects in a class presentation on TUESDAY. Students may need to work on this at home if they will not finish by Tuesday!

TEST!! (Students were told today in class!)

Also on Tuesday, we will take a Unit test! This test will include questions related to "Intro to Technology" (Areas of technology and examples) and Effects of Technology. Both links have multiple resources and information that can be used to study.

Recommended Study Tools (Recommended at least 15 min of studying on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday)

• • Intro to Technology PowerPoint

  • Types of Technology Flash Cards

  • Effect Definition Review Flash Cards

    • Examples of Effects Flash Cards (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

Grades Update:

I am working on finishing up grades for the Types of Technology Project. All but 1 period has all the physical posters and projects graded. I am still working on grading submitted PowerPoints. Thank you for your patience!

Hydroponics Update: I added a Hydroponic Blog to help keep track of whats going on with our system! Check it out!

That is all!

Enjoy your weekend!
