Feb PLC

Could you post the upcoming Feb PLC dates...thanks

Google Calendar !

Jimmie Guercioni was kind enough to assist with some of the more interesting functions that are available with Google calendars. Although the session wasn't well attended, the participants came away with some helpful hints.

Utilizing Classroom Technology

Thanks to Mr. Penn for taking the time to show the capabilities of the visual presenters-LCD projectors-classroom computers-dvd players.

Holiday Cheer

Thanks to everyone who helped make the pre-holiday departmental staff meeting a success !

From Dr. Stevenson

We finally have received the "Project Based Learning Handbooks" from the Buck Institute. They are an excellent guide for Project Based Learning. Starting on Tues. Dec. 15th, you can check them out in the JHS Media Center. The Handbook includes a lot of practical samples, forms, ideas and really outlines the process of PBL very well. Feel free to review and recommend to other staff members who may benefit. Hope all is going well!

Newsletter

Please don't forget about the Curriculum Newsletter. I really would like to get a rough draft to the committee before we go on break..so if anyone has ideas for info..please send them to me...

mutiny squelched

Yesterday was much better. The class is still resistant, but more are attempting to complete the assignment. Thanks everyone!

Spelling!

Oops spelled persistence wrong!

Struggle Creates Success

Robin,

Testing is easier and does not require true application and application of knowledge presents a greater challenge. Keep perisiting for over time the resistance will subside. Remember we must struggle to become better, for their are no shortcuts!

Thanks Cindy...I appreciate the support alot! For the newsletter, I will just quote what you said and have your email and room # attached...kind of like a little advertisement...
