FMS Staff Weekend Focus
May 6th, 2016
Dear FMS Staff,
Thank you so much for another great week at FMS! What an amazing send off to our Special Olympians this morning. WOW!
It's hard to believe that we are down to the last two weeks of school. Please remember to fill out information on the awards ceremony and we will discuss on Tuesday at team. Also, please remember that the expectation is that teaching and learning happens all the way to the end. We are not packing up our rooms or taking bulletin boards down until school is out. As soon as we begin prep for summer, brains turn off. I will be sure that you have time on the 20th to do some room cleaning. Thanks in advance for keeping the intensity going, even though I know we are all running out of steam. Time to dig deep, get some pudding and finish strong!
Have a GREAT week,
Beth

HOOK OF THE WEEK: The Techno Whiz Hook
TLAP Pages 127-128
- How can I tap into the techonological prowess of my students?
- Can I give my students the option to create projects and turn in assignments digitally?
- Can I create a paperless lesson, unit, or class?
- How can this lesson benefit from the fact that many students have more computing power in their pockets and backpacks than I have in my class or lab?
- How can I take advantage of the fact that most phones now have camera, video, and Internet capability?
- How can I leverage the power of social media to empower my students to engage in their education beyond the standard school day?
- How can technology be used to bridge gaps between school and the real world?
- How can technology help to connect my students to people from all over the world and help them gain a global perspective?
- How can I utilize the latest apps to create more powerful and interactive presentations?
