Website

Hello Girls, I am not that stressed anymore. I came home and looked at the to do list and it is not bad. We have sccomplished a lot on there. The only thing I noticed we need to do is link (site) the picture on the Introduction page. Other then that I went through and every page says who it is created bya nd has an email address, and the pictures are linked. The only things are the epals assignment and google map, the big bang page, blog, and then all our websites. I don;t remember who is putting what websites on what pages so maybe someone can clarify that for me. I sent mine to Shannon, but on my list I have myself doing one on fertilizer so don't know whos web address that was but let me know. Also don't forget to put your digital stories on there. We should be fine. Have a great weekend and I will see you on Thursday at 11. If we need to come in early I am able to on that day, just let me know. Good Luck!

Hello Girls!
So...I am going to work on the website today and TRY to get it some what done as best as I can. I will facebook Shannon my websites. I think the concept map looks good. If anyone has any questions post them on here and we will try to answer them. I think we will be ok it was just a little overwhelming at first I think, so hopefully it will work out. Good luck and see you on Wednesday. Only 1 more week left then finals. Don't forget our final is Thursday at 11 am.

Hello ladies,

Colleen the concept map looks good except you forgot the How to Make a Garden Part. We need to add that before you put it on our website. Also, Emily and I are going to try and have our parts either completely done or almost done by Monday that way we can edit anything and make sure it looks good. I didn't know if you would have time to get it done before Monday or not. Just letting you know what we are planning! :)

Shannon

Don't forget we still have Quiz 11 coming up on Friday.

Hello Girls!
I like our home page so far and I think we are on the right track. Thank you Colleen for figuring out how to do the standards and get those on there. Thank you Shannon for typing out the homepage so far. Good Job! I think we will get it done. We will probably have to work on it outside of class on our own but we are moving along. Only 3 more weeks left!
Have a good week!

Sunday, April 4, 2010

Hey! Happy Easter! Yes I do think we should create our home page on Monday and then split things up from there. I also hope once we start and figure things out it will not be so overwhelming. I think we have the rest of our labs to make our webpage so hopefully we can all work on it together during class. I have not checked to see when our "exam" is, hopefully it is on that Thursday. I hope everyone had a good weekend. See you tomorrow!

Hello Girls!

I agree, Colleen, we definately need to discuss this project as a group; however, we have all class on Monday to work on it! :) My plan is to get our homepage created on Monday..and then divide who is doing what that way we can all work on our pages seperate and then maybe use Mondays in class to discuss any problems or questions we may have. I think that once we get started this won't seem like such a horribly stupidly overwhelming project, haha. Another thing..can we all start brainstorming any ideas for the website and have them ready on Monday!!! :)

Have a HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!

Monday, March 29, 2010

Hopefully our exam can be on the Thursday at 11:30. When do you guys have time to work on this website? I think we need to discuss it as a group so we can divide up all of our parts and decide what our web page will look like. Semester is almost over! YAY!
Hello!!!

Here is my part of the podcast...

As a final project for our unit on flowers your student will be participating in starting and maintaining a class flower garden. We will be collecting data by measurements, pictures and notes. The students will be involved in every process from getting the ground ready to taking a field trip to a local flower nursery to pick the flowers we will be using to seeing the final outcome. We will have all different types of flowers some requiring more shade, some more sun. Some will be local and others will be from places far away. We will see what happens to the different flowers as they grow. Eventually we will have a full grown beautiful flower garden that each student can be proud of.
Hey,

Soooooooooo, I completely forgot about this assignment until like right now. So, I am working on it..and will hopefully have it posted by tonight, but if not tonight then definately tomorrow.

Shannon
Project based learning is teacher facilitated but the students run the project. The teachers oversee the work while the students participate in real world projects. The students are the expert and create their own questions, solving problems on their own. Through using technology, students learn to analyze and research for information. Students produce authentic products in project based learning. One concept of prject based learning is to create a digital story. In creating a digital story, students use Windows Movie Maker to import pictures, add music and narrate imformation on the timeline. This is a great project for students to use to present information.


This is my part for the podcast.

Hey! I just finished my lesson plan and forgot about the podcast! I will write up my part on Project Based learning by Sunday! See you in class on Monday! Note the time.... :/ Oops!

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Yes Shannon the 2nd lesson plan is due on the 19th, so tomorrow by midnight. I hear you about the due dates. It is hard to keep each class seperate and organized.
For our podcast this is what I am going to say.
"So far in our unit on gardening the students have learned the types of flowers, mostly the state flower of Michigan. We have talked about what flowers need to grow, like sun, water, fertilizer. Another unit we did was on how to take care of your flowers, watering them, clipping off the dead flowers. The most important topic we talked about was how to make a flower garden and get everything started. The children have also learned about gardening tools and how to use them and where to use them in the garden and how it helps a garden. Your student has learned a lot about flowers and a flower garden. I urge you to plant a flwoer garden with them this summer so they can show you the skills they learned."

Hello ladies!

Soo, when is our lesson plan due? I believe that it is the 19th. Also, is anything else due? I am getting lost because I feel like we have so much going on and absolutely to many due dates :(
Thanks for the information!

I believe we talked in class and Shannon is going to teach the first lesson so she is explaining the excel stuff so Colleen and I just need to review it. Right? Hope you guys are staying caught up!! After this week only 6 more weeks and then exam week. :) See you in class on Monday!
