enhancingMissouri’s Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies

My students are keeping me in the learning mode. They will ask questions that I don’t know the answer to. I will ask them how we can find out and then follow through with the plan to find out the answer together.

Students who use computers in the Science classroom have become deeper thinkers. The use of higher order thinking skills and questioning strategies has trained the students to think about what they are asking because they know they will get a question instead of the easy answer.

When a student needs help with a computer problem, others who have solved the same or similar problem will willingly help their classmate. Students act as though they are more knowledgeable about technology than the adults in the room. With this confidence, the students will try to help other students with technology issues when the same students may not help with content issues. So, just having the technology in the classroom has increased the collaboration among students. The students see that sometimes it is okay to work together on projects.

Teaching has become more of a facilitation than direct instruction. We are learning together.

Science Fair

Project

Due DateOctober 10, 2008

andMarch 6, 2009

Requirements

Sc ience Fair Documents are on the c lass website

under Science Fair

Kaysinger Conference Science Fair 3/17/09

Science Day at UCM TBA

Science Fair is a big part of getting the students ready for MAP as well as thinking like scientists. We have two Science Fairs a year to encourage students to work at being scientists. The information is on the website but few will voluntarily go looking for the information. To

prepare the students for the actual competition, many lessons are attempted to get them to understand the requirements and due dates. This lesson is a group

lesson in which the students go to the website to pick up information required to fill in the flow chart. Each group

of students working together will then fill in the dates when they have completed specific steps to meet the due date. They will also describe what was or will be

done to fulfill requirements. Data tables and graphs will be built using Excel and narratives will be written in

Word. Word Art will be used to make titles. A Power Point presentation will be required as a virtual Science

Fair Presentation which will be show at the Spring Open House. A physical presentation will be built for

competition.

Students used Movie Maker to teach others to balance chemical equations. Movie Maker allows students to narrate or have music as a background to their slides. To view a sample, click here.

Dreamweaver is the program used to post Mrs. Mueller’s Class Website to the internet. Students use this for daily information, assignment requirements, assignment rubrics, required website addresses to be used in class, parent information, teacher resources, and other helpful information.

eMINTS is a beneficial program to students, parents, teachers, administration, and the community.
