1. Share how things are going. What new learning to share? >Ms. Gehrke plans to use drop box for assignments. >Mr. Gregor reports the website resource is valuable because parents can hold students more accountable. Students have access to presentations. The school website is user friendly. >Ms. Schuerer is using Moodle for a discussion board. There have been a few glitches with getting it set up. She is finding about a 95% are participating, the ones who are not have messed up the registration. She has been using the wireless lab in class. Next step will be to use outside of class. >Mr. Wendlandt is planning to use discussion board soon. FloppyIt.com is being used, website where they can put documents so they can work at home or anywhere. This would eliminate many problems. Ms. Schuerer uses too, she found it, Mr. W can't take credit for the discovery. People are impressed with his Eng. 9 class being online. Has been recruited to potentially provide class. >Ms. Schluter has based GAP 8 math class through Study Island. This keeps track of all grading and progress. Working to get GAP 7 math going too. Students are sending assignments to drop box. Reading assignments can be done at different reading levels. Some students have been using their phones outside of school.
