The Elementary Element
 ​Your one stop Grab-n-Go resource shop!

Picture
We have heard loud and clear that teachers are looking for clearer communication.  AND timely resources to help support their daily instruction.

So we bring you The Elementary Element!  

Tired of multiple Schoology posts from various contents?  We hear you!  Our goal is to streamline the postings you see from content areas into one per week in this newsletter form.  Ed Tech will still provide just in time information through Schoology.

Check out The Elementary Element to find newly created or discovered resources from your C&I content teams, AMP, Ed Tech partners, READ team specialists, and Early Learning colleagues.  We’re looking to provide timely materials that will support your instruction and planning today - sample lesson and unit plans, proficiency scale resources, links to great resources from the field, and MORE!

Bookmark the link to the document, and then look for updates made weekly.  As always you can reach C&I and Ed Tech during office hours (M-F, 7:00 - 4:00).  Please stop by with any questions you might have about the use of the resources, or anything else!

​Self-Paced Tutorial for Using Google Sketchup

Picture
By Drew Keat, Theatre Coordinator

​Struggling with providing practical application projects for remote students in Tech Theatre courses?  Taking the time to become well-versed in Google Sketchup will pay off!  There is an online version that is free, and has most of the functionality of the installed platform. 
 
These directions and accompanying EdPuzzle videos should guide students and teachers through how to use the application.  The EdPuzzle has accompanying notes, questions and stopping points to ensure that students and teachers can easily follow along with the tutorial.  By the end of the lesson/project, a user should be able to create complex objects and 3D models.
 
Getting Started with Google Sketchup lesson instructions
EdPuzzle – Lesson 1
EdPuzzle – Lesson 2
 
 
Once you and your students feel comfortable with the application, you can build modeling assignments using the Sketchup Educational platform (edu.sketchup.com).

​Today I had the pleasure of “visiting” Conifer HS teacher Jeremy Barnett’s level 4 Spanish class as they spoke with a guest speaker from Mexico living in Argentina. This visit was arranged by the Happy World Foundation. The Happy World Foundation promotes global citizenship education and cross-cultural understanding in schools and communities worldwide by arranging international guests visits for classrooms.  This is not just for world language teachers – any teacher is welcome to participate. If you are interested in this free opportunity for your students to interact with native speakers, you can join the HWF facebook group and send a private message describing your needs to the founder Akash Patel.
