It’s mid November and the leaves have displayed their Fall colours (either still hanging onto trees or splashed across the landscape). We truly live in a wonderful part of the world.
One of our concentrations is to provide a written voice for every student. Six teams of classroom and LSS/ELL partnerships from six schools launched, each with their own set of laptops or ipads. These teams are using a variety of tools to support voice: Google Apps for Education, student blogfolios to reflect, Solo software (focused on CoWriter offering word prediction) or ipads with DoInk green screen, Explain Everything and padcaster. As part of the journey, the teams meet together to share and push their learning as well as document their ongoing story. Lessons learned and nuggets of connections will be shared here on our Teams page. Even better – ask them yourselves:
- Maywood – Satpaul, Jason, Halina;
- Edmonds – Hayley, Angela;
- South Slope – Grady, Deb, Jennifer A;
- Chaffey-Burke – Carlene, Alan;
- Suncrest – Balbir, Joe;
- Parkcrest – Sheila, Scott;
- UHE – Kristina (year 2);
- Marlborough – Ann (year 2)
We’re looking forward to strengthening our strategies.
