Buildologie Showcase!
Hi, all!
FYI, I do my very best to make it to every showcase, BUT all 3 single track schools are doing their showcases at the same time, so I'll be jumping around.
Before the Showcase
You may also want to preview the rubrics with your students - they'll be critiquing each other. I've already run a class set for you.
During the Showcase
The WiDi's name is Boling and the password, as always, is 12345670.
There's a 20-minute block for setup. Students should re-download their programs and then they can practice on the table and/or receive last-minute instruction from you or mentors.
One team presents at a time. Other teams should be filling out their rubrics. This helps them to be more reflective and engaged. What you do with the rubrics afterwards is up to you. I also ran off teacher versions of the rubrics; again, you can choose to use them for a grade, but it's 100% up to you. If you'd rather not fill them out during the showcase, that's fine too.
After the Showcase
There is one more week of school after the showcase. I know this week gets crazy. If you would like to cancel Buildologie, that is fine with me (but check with admin). Otherwise, I can talk to the mentors about having some kind of 1-day, relaxed engineering and/or team-building challenge for that day. Please let me know what you would prefer!
Finally, if you are thinking of re-shuffling your teams, now is a great time to do it!
Thank you and PLEASE let me know if you have questions or concerns!
