OER Training
The science teachers continued with their OER training in preparation for the 1:1 environment that will begin with next year's rollout of iPads to the high school students.
Escape Room!
Mrs. Rinehart and Mrs. Peterman engaged their students in a physical escape room instead of a digital one because our students had already completed 2 digital ones this year. The physical escape room activity added a different type of challenge and got them moving while they were learning. The students had to analyze the poems and find the missing poets and match them with their poetry- through the imagery, figurative language, rhyme scheme and patterns.
Field Trip to Mexico, Cuba and South America Without Leaving the ClassroomSophomores in Mr. Kraus’ World Cultures class take a Virtual Reality field trip to Mexico, Cuba, and South America on their iPads through NearPod in Schoology as part of their geography requirement in Unit V. “The Americas”.
