Frank's Fantastic Find - Intel Educator Tools

I recently heard about Intel's Education Tools. One of my favorite tools is the assessing projects tool. This tool provides some examples of checklists, and rubrics for assessing things like critical thinking skills, presentations, creativity, and problem solving skills. It does require an account which is free.

Pollyanna Play Trailer

This weekend I (Beth) worked with Katie Beary, Mid-Prairie's new Drama Director, to create a trailer for the fall production of Pollyanna. The trailer combines cast interviews with scene snippets and cast photos at a local Victorian home. It was a fun way to collaborate and promote the play at the same time. I used Camtasia to put the video together. Check it out!

A New YouTube Channel

I created a YouTube Channel for the Middle School today.
Click here to connect to the channel.

This channel will be a great place to share the videos student and staff created videos for classwork.

So just to see how it will work - I uploaded a video on creating student accounts in Google.

It really worked pretty slick!  Stay tuned for much more interesting content! :)
