This week at the Academy........

This week at the Academy...

Mr. Hilton’s Keyboarding class will be working on typing, and in his World History II class they are going to be taking a quiz using the Moodle. What is Moodle? Stay tuned! World History II will also be creating flyers using Microsoft Publisher and beginning to create podcasts.

Coach Erwin’s U.S. History class will be using Photo Story 3 to create a digital scrapbook of the immigration experience through Ellis Island. In Erwin’s Issues in Psychology class the students will be replicating social psychology experiments around the school and will utilize laptops, cell phones, video, and podcasting while doing their research. In Personal Fitness Concepts students will be posting to the class blog http://21stCenturyAcademyPE.blogspot.com on fitness and health related information. The postings will include pictures and video. All of Erwin’s classes will also be taking their weekly quiz online using the Moodle.

In Mrs. Harison's newsletter class, they are putting together their articles for the Academy newspaper using Microsoft Publisher and making it as close to perfect as they can. The laptops have given them more resources and time to make their final revisions.

Check tomorrow for Dr. Sandfort's podcast interview and Friday for examples of students work!
