Hey guys, I just finished my two pages and uploaded the concept map on the homepage. I was wondering if you guys wanted to meet Monday night to go over the presentation or Tuesday morning? I also submitted the SAME inspiration map on the blog for the final. It would NOT let me it edit it. So hopefully she won't notice.... Hopefully all goes well.

Final presentation

We have to present our project during final exam week, so we need to pick 3 times that work best for us.

The time slots can be seen here.

Wednesday works for Sarah and I (any time).

Lauren, can you check the time slots and see what 3 work best for you?
Or at least what time your finals are at?

Hey guys just checking on the blog to see how things are going. I'm glad we had another chance with that concept map. LOOKS COOL!

For my lesson plan I am having the "students" record temperature, precipitation, and sky condition. The title of the lesson plan is weather changes.

Also, did you finish up the revised version of the concept map from monday?

Lesson Plan 2

I cant remember what you girls said you were doing for your second lesson plan (i think one of you said that you were doing favorite types of weather), but I will be doing my lesson plan on something to do with collecting weather over a period of time and putting their data into a graph...maybe weather patterns, forecasts, or predictions??

let me know what you are doing too so we don't do the same!!

For the podcast I will be talking about how technology is used specifically in our project.

PODCAST

Hi!

For the podcast I will be talking about why teaching with technology is important, and why we are teaching this way! Okay bye!

Podcast

For the podcast, I will be talking about the importance of having a complex idea for the project, tapping rich data sources (researching websites, books, etc..and using a hot list), and how this drives the students' learning experiences.

youtube

I ended up doing my youtube project on Precipitation because it seemed more relevant for our overall project.

lesson plan 1

I will be doing my lesson plan on Climate (studying different regions' climates and comparing them)

I am doing my lesson plan on Tornados!!! :)

Letting students know what a tornado is, how to keep safe from tornados, and making a mini tornado in a bottle!!


Anyone know how to send our lesson plans?

youtube

For the youtube project, I will be doing weekly weather forcasting.

My movie is also about weather tools! cool thanks bye!

Lesson Plan

I will be doing Weather tools for our lesson plan.

I think I'll have my lesson have a short power point then a short matching game after.

new website!

http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/zambia/lusaka

This is a good website that has the up to date weather, so kids can see what the weather is like at that moment.

Google Maps

View Website Map in a larger map

We will have the students measure the distance from Kalamazoo Michigan to Lusaka Africa. We will discuss with the students the differences in the northern and southern hemispheres, (note the distance each city from the equator).
