Resource Idea

 

Title:  Class Website

 

Topic: Multi-learning web site

 

Grade: For classes 6-12

 

Objectives: Using the website the teacher would be able to put each days lesson on the internet available for student use

 

Ideas: An online website is something that can be used by teacher, student, and parent alike. At the beginning of the semester the teacher would put outlines of notes on each lesson. There would be an open forum to discuss any possible essay assignments, homework, or test questions. I would make myself available nightly from 7 to 9 for any questions about my class. This site would be completely secure. Pin numbers and passwords would be required. 

 

Materials: access to a computer

 

Modifications: Build site

Precision Agriculture & Global Positioning Systems

The use of GPS and GIS in precision agriculture

The lesson is intended for a junior or senior Ag class.

The powerpoint show explains the global positioning system (GPS) and the geographic information system (GIS) and how they are used in precision agriculture. The lesson could easily be expanded to include a scavenger hunt activity using handheld GPS units to demonstrate their use.

 The slideshow can be found at: http://www.glenrosearkansasffa.org/PRECISIO.PPT

Title: A New Character

Subject: English Language Arts

Grades: 4-6

This activity incorporates digital cameras and the use of Kid Pix

Using pictures taken of the students digitally, pictures of themselves can be added to backgrounds that they have created themselves using the program Kid Pix. Students can use this to talk about their favorite part in a story that the class read/discussed. For instance, if the class read Harry Potter, they could draw a scene they imagine from the story on the computer and put their digital pictures in it to make themselves part of the story.

Idea for "A New Character" and other fun and innovative projects for the classroom are available from Technology in the Classroom:

Title: Sea Turtles and Dangers in the Sea

 

Topic: science, sea turtles

 

Grade: 1-5

 

Idea: Many younger students have heard of or know about the dangers that oil spills cause for sea life, but it can be hazardous to endangered species, like sea turtles. Not only is it important to help protect the oceans, but it’s also important to protect the sea life and the endangered species that live within it.

 

Materials: a computer, the Aquatic Project Wild cd packet

 

Modifications:

1. After a discussion about oil spills and other hurdles sea turtles face, have each student pair up with another at a computer
2. Set up the cd with the games, and have them play the Turtle Hurdle game to learn how hard it is to be a turtle.
