quizlet

10/31/12

Today we went to Ms. Gladdis room and had her instruct us on the use of Quizlet.net. The operation is a system to pre write tests and exams and it will give you several versions of a test to give to a class or multiple classes. The test can be taken online or by paper. If taken online the grading of the tests will be done automatically by the Quizlet.net software. I am going to try it for both my Am. History and World History classes. Hardest part will be setting it up on Excel spreadsheets first and then typing in all the corresponding answers.

PLC Showcase

At the end of our semester of work, all PLCs will be showcasing their work at the Wyandotte High School PLC Showcase on Wednesday, December 12th in the Social Hall.  The showcase will be a public demonstration of our learning, collaboration, and results.  Each PLC will showcase work that reflects how your learning and collaboration has impacted student learning.  Each PLC is encouraged to be creative and innovative in their demonstration (student examples would be highly encouraged); however, please be sure the following are addressed through your presentation -
    PLC Focus
Collaborative Actions   
Summary of PLC Learning
Impact on Student Learning
Connections to Future Teaching and Learning
In addition, all staff will have an opportunity to visit each demonstration during the Showcase.  Many outside guests will also be in attendance.  

If your PLC requires any kind of additional resources, please submit any requests for those materials via the comment section to this blog entry by NOVEMBER 9th. You will receive these materials by or before your November 28th meeting, so you will have AT LEAST two weeks to work on organizing your demonstration.

TODAY MS TROYER TAUGHT US THE BASICS OF MAKING IMOVIE. I did mine on the Presidential election of 2012. Need to practice a lot more and maybe get more instructions on how to perfect the process.
Today we were introduced to i Movies... Now I need to figure out when where and how the students can use it in the classroom.
