Project Potential

Welcome to Project Potential! Please check this website for information and resources for gifted students.

Google Classroom

This is the main method I use to communicate with students. Assignments and resource materials can all be found on students' classroom pages.

Each student will have two Google Classrooms for Project Potential. One is the for the actual class, and the other (Sub Tub and Resources) is full of lots of interesting and engaging resources that can be explored if I am absent, if a student is finished with his or her class work, or anytime they like. When I am absent, students are required to also turn in an account of what they researched and completed on each day.

To access Google Classroom:

  • Click on the Google Classroom Icon on the opening student page

  • Then click on the words on the Project Potential Class icon.

  • Stream is new information (newest shows first)

  • Click on top (Classwork ) for assignments, resources, links, materials, and challenges
