Technology Integration with Mrs. Wiles-Stasko's Social Studies Classes Students have been studying explorers during social studies over the past few weeks.  As a culminating project, they were asked to "interview" a famous explorer. Here is the assignment criteria:

  

Next students spent time creating and memorizing their skits:

 

Then it was time to enter the Green Screen Studio and tape their skits.  We had camera operators, directors, set managers and talent working collaboratively to make it happen!  "Quiet on set!"

Finally, we took our segments to the editing room and used Green Screen and iMovie to put on the final touches.
Enjoy!

Chromebooks in Grade 6

Thanks to a generous grant from BEST, students in Mrs. Sierpina's homeroom and science classes are piloting a class set of Chromebooks.

Chromebooks are used on a daily basis during ELA, for conducting research, creating collaborative projects (like study guides and presentations) and taking online quizzes. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Technology Essential Questions:
