No Bull Challenge



Throughout the course of the year, our librarian Mrs. Besselsen, has been working within the Middle School Reading classes to teach digital citizenship. Part of this curriculum includes an unfortunate reality that students may face in their digital world - cyber bullying. Mrs. Besselsen challenged students to take the “No Bull Challenge” and create and submit an original student-produced video for their contest. 

From the No Bull website: “NO BULL Challenge is a social action organization that inspires teens and young adults from around the world to take a stand against bullying and to promote digital responsibility, leadership, and social action through film making. We provide the framework and motivation to develop powerful short films and public service announcements that spark dialogue about bullying, one of the most critical issues of our time. The NO BULL Challenge empowers teens and young adults to tell their personal stories through our online video competition/contest and to amplify their voices through their creativity, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit.”

Here is a link to all the videos that were submitted for 2016. There are seven Glen Lake Videos in the bunch starting on row 14, 2nd in from the left. The Middle School students worked very hard on these videos. They developed their storyboards, wrote scripts, filmed, edited and posted their videos for the project using their iPads. Check them out!

Pic Collage App in 7th Grade Math

Students have been using the PicCollage app on their school iPads in Mrs. Robinson’s middle school math classes. The students are asked to create their own math problem that involves rational numbers (decimals, integers, fractions). After they complete the problem, they are then asked to solve the problem and then share their problem with their classmates. The PicCollage app helps students get in the mindset of writing the problems and not just solving them. The students realize how this relates to real life and how they may use this skill set in the future!

Sixth Grade Climate Change Projects - Science and Tech!

Six-grade science students were challenged to demonstrate their learning for an authentic audience. This could be a park ranger, a younger class of students or a group of their peers. Their learning goal was  “I can describe the causes and effects of climate change.” After thoughtful research and a chosen audience, students were able to choose a technology tool that best met their needs to demonstrate their learning. From computer coded animations, to multimedia videos to mock news casts, these student-led projects demonstrated not only their science knowledge, but creativity and technology skills.  All the projects were shared with Mr. Grams through the students' iPads and Google Drive. Below are some examples: Animation coded using Scratch programming: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/144705551/?autostart=false  (click to start) Student News Broadcast using iMovie App: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8k-QUxegDNTX1JNUWtpcVZPUm8/view?usp=sharing ThinkLink Inter
