For your planning convenience, Piedmont master calendar events are posted on this calendar ( For the direct link, click the image of the calendar in this post to go to it) as well as the pencil calendar in the admin hallway. This means you can check the calendar from your room or planning meetings or even from home. If you would like permission to add events to this calendar, email me. Otherwise, cc me when you email Lou about the master calendar, and I will add the event for you. If you'd like to embed this calendar into your classroom wiki for your checking convenience or website so parents and students can view it, here is the embed code. Copy it and paste it. It is a publically visible calendar so you do not need to be signed in to Google drive to view. <iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=hf47ft4lujsictk6s0p2cvhmhs%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York" Next step is to get our curriculum map from the admin hallway online as well so you can update and view it from any device or home so you always have the best planning! Hovercraft, anyone? This 1 minute video only scratches the surface of how we use Digital Learning everyday in our rooms. I've basically been filling up my storage every time I head out of the office because I run across something film-worthy each step I take down the halls of Piedmont! For more photos, videos, and information, check out the Digital Learning Day Post , the 21st Century Piedmont Wiki Page or my Twitter media feed. (The video was made for a Digital Learning Day contest on Edmodo. Thanks to Ms. Newburger for finding and spearheading and directing this video contest effort.) Wow! What a day! The biggest thing I learned from this day is that there is so much amazingness happening in all the classrooms on any given day, you can't tweet it all. Here are just a few highlights: Piedmont is known for being active, interactive and project-based. Still, even the most alternative of us tend to use multiple choice sometimes. But don't waste all your creative teacher brain power on grading drudgery. If your plans include a bubble sheet, you can now grade them from your phone with the QuickKey app. I am just exploring it but from the very efficient early adopter Ms. Peterson and I can figure, you have to imput the student names and create classes one time and then you are good. You download their bubble sheet here (save $ from those expensive scantrons!) and then get the app in the app store (for iphone but works on ipad) http://www.quickkeyapp.com/pages/support |
