Question for the Week of March 30

Our AMSTI science modules are arriving this week. How can we use our new cameras in some of our lesson plans with these modules? Please feel free to post any pictures or projects to this blog. Please make sure you are reading everyone's comments. If you want to respond to one another's comments that would be great.

Great ideas

You are listing some wonderful ideas! We have some donated photo paper in the office. Enjoy.

Digital cameras

We have received the digital cameras for the classroom. There should be one camera to share between two teachers. I am very excited about this and would like for you to share some thoughts about how we can use these cameras in our lesson planning. It is okay (with your supervision) for students to use the camera and create a group project to share with others.

Question for the week: How can we use digital cameras to create engaging lessons? How can we share our work?

Beginning a New Journey

Today I feel like a sojourner starting on a new path. I am making my first feeble attempts to connect in the web 2.0 world. I have never blogged before so I am excited and somewhat apprehensive at the same time. I named my blog Growing Spaces because after we do a school walk through we always sit down and debrief about the great things we saw and the areas that need some work. We call those areas growing spaces. I would like this blog to be a place of safety where my teachers can feel free to share ideas, both successes and failures. I anticipate starting small with a few teachers and just letting this concept of blogging come to life on its own.
