Week 1

Being in a new role has been a little strange for me this week, however I have seen so many wonderful things happening on our campus this first week of school...

  • Ms. Barrett started a scientific process project using ipads. I showed up to help today, and had totally forgotten that our school iPads don't have cameras. HA! So we started the project, and will finish on Tuesday. We failed big, but totally made it work.
  • Jan Rice has started designing a Dripping Springs community project for her third graders. She took wonderful pictures of our community that her students will use to explain the importance of each place. I will help her finish it up this weeks with a Google Earth tour. 
  • Ms. Norton has a great idea for a book trailer project. I am so excited to begin helping her bring this to life. What a great idea!!!!!
  • Ms. Mocz has been sending her kids down all week to use our new space. It's been so nice to have some company. 
  • Mr. D had all of his kids bring their devices on Wednesday and we had a great discussion about TigerNet.
  • Ms. McManus made an awesome Prezi about her trip to China to share with her students. Check it out here: 
  • Mrs. Northrup borrowed the iTouches to begin a "Survival Kit" project with her kids.
  • Mrs. Lloyd designed and implemented a really neat "Humpty Dumpty" themed technology project for Kinder. All week long they were looking for pieces of their Humpty as they learned important aspects of being a Kindergartener. They took a picture at each place they went, then they made a video on ScreenChomp to use for review. Stay tuned for a posting of her classes final product. 
  • I have loved seeing all of the kids for their first tour of The Center. I can't believe I met with almost 800 kids this week. I can't wait till I know all of their names. 
So many wonderful things were happening on our campus this first week, and I know I only touched on a few that were visible to me. If you did or saw something awesome happening the first week of school please comment below.

On to week two!

Your FLI,
