Halloween Edition
Halloween...what??
In the news:
- Try a no-email week
- What Apps do we have?
- Works Cited/Bibliography Rubric
- Join us on Edmodo for AASSA
Slack for Collaborative Planning
The problem:
- Using email to communicate with teaching partners is messy and confusing
- Emails interrupt the flow of our work
How Slack works:
- Join our school group (email Sarah for an invite)
- Create a private group for you and your teaching partners
- Message and share docs within the group
Why it's good for you:
- Your planning ideas and docs are found in one place
- You view your group when are you ready to plan and think about that course
- It's not connected to your email, so it doesn't interrupt you (unless you choose bells for notifications)
If you're interested in being part of the no-email experiment, email sducharm@amersol.edu.pe for an invite.
What Apps?
iPads are here!
If you have an app you'd like to use, please check with us about how to review it and get it installed.

FDR Works Cited Rubric
Got Bibliographies?
- After the excitement of seeing a completed project, it's not a huge thrill to look over a page of citations and figure out how to assess it.
The solution:
- A FDR-approved Works Cited checklist
Ways to use it:
- Copy and add to your drive
- Edit to suit your purposes (too hard for MS?)
- Give to your students to self-evaluate and turn in with their final product
- Report as an ATL skill matched with one of your criteria's strands
