Laker Spotlights and 3D Printing

Our elementary "Laker Spotlight" students are learning about 3D printing! They will get to choose their design, add their name and print their award. We will post a picture of what they printed when they are done!

Pic Collage App in 7th Grade Math

Image
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!

Spanish Chatter Pix

What's more fun than animals dressed up and speaking Spanish? Señora Pina's 4th, 5th and 6th grade elementary Spanish students were able to do just this! These students were learning the first person tenses of the Spanish verbs "to be" and "to have". To practice their new learning, the students were able to pick an animal that they wanted to be. They found images of their chosen animal online, saved them to their iPads and imported the images into the app "Chatterpix". This fun app allows students to add their own voice recording to any image to make it "talk". The students spoke as if they were the animal to describe their characteristics in the first person. Check out the video below for a sampling of these projects. Buen trabajo estudiantes de español!

Physics, Algebra and Tech Integration!

Our high school physics classes have been using the SparkVue software on their student laptops to collect and analyze data through various Pasco sensors and probes. Glen Lake Community Schools purchased a site license for this software and it is installed on the high school student-issued laptops. This software enables students to collect real time data using sensors and probes through the SparkVue program. These technologies together allow students to immediately analyze the data to get to deeper levels of understanding with in the content.  In one lab recently, the math and physics teachers collaborated for a cross-curricular lab with the Physics I and Algebra I students. Shannon Fisher, Glen Lake's Physics and Chemistry teacher stated "Jim Douglas (GL math teacher) and I collaborated on a lesson covering forces. His middle school Algebra I students joined my sophomore Physics I students to investigate how changing the mass of a cart and pulling force affects the
