About Me
I teach in a 1:1 student/computer classroom of fourth grade students. Our basic learning tools include a Mimio Board, streaming video lessons, and Moodle. I sponsor an after-school Tech Club. We have taken over the school website.

    Hello Rick -
    Your projects will certainly continue to serve as inspiration. I just love what technology has been able to do, not only for student learning but for energizing my own teaching. Here's another thought. Each year I do an "average student" math and geography study integrated all year - we do attendance graphs most days, compiling the results, discussing statistics (mean, median, etc.), percentages, and we talk about whether we are a good sample or not. Sometimes I try to increase the numbers by adding other classes at our school, but I often ask whether or not the results might be the same in other places. Every year I intend to work with students in other states and countries but don't get my feet in the water soon enough. Would that be something you are interested in? Basically, we'd have a poll on our web site (or participating classes set up polls) and results are tallied. Sometimes I have "most Americans" stats to compare with. It might be fun to see how results differ in parts of the country. The questions (kids often make them up, too) range from how students like to eat Oreos to favorite genres to more awareness questions of world events...

    Anyway, just a thought. Feel free to opt in or out. Regardless, I look forward to collaborative tech work with you and students this year! Nice to meet you! Diane

    Hi Rick!

    Hope you had a nice winter break. I was wondering if you have anyy high school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get students involved from Indiana!

    You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
