Day 3
This morning Vinnie Segaliano came to teach us about Common Core ELA A.K.A. College and Career Readiness Skills. We analysed a lesson plan about the Great Fire in Chicago so we could apply the evaluation process. It was a great (detailed) lesson but there was room for improvement so we gave it a '2.'
After lunch we had a brief introduction to GPS skills. We opted to use our phones to locate the clues for a Geocaching exercise. We successfully located the clues, except for the last one! We discussed using this with our students, but will need to decide how to manage students once they go out of sight. It could be a club activity where a parent chaperone is required. We could use QR codes as part of the clues they find at each location.
After the scavenger hunt we returned to Lab 255 to learn about Games and Simulations. We found five or more websites which allow us to play Spanish learning games or Sim. games made for native speakers. I spent some time at McDonalds in Spanish trying to learn how to farm the food for McDonalds without letting my cows die. It would be better with sound and it's not an appropriate game for vegetarians. The results are saved on our flash drives in a folder along with the PowerPoint and notes about the presentation.
Some helpful commands we used:
Screen Grab PrtScn button, then CTRL+V to paste - This allows the user to easily 'screenshot' what is showing and paste it into a word document.
Tomorrow we're going on a field trip and lunch is included! Hasta mañana.
