Teacher Spotlight - Anna Wassa

Image
Each month, we will feature one teacher from Glen Lake Community Schools who is providing innovating learning experiences for their students. The March teacher spotlight is Anna Wassa! She currently teaches Language Arts in the high school and her classes include English 9, English 11, Honors English 9, AP Language and Composition and Poetry. The innovative project we will be highlighting is from her 11th grade students. These students are studying the epic poem Beowulf. They were tasked with demonstrating in-depth inferences and thorough, thoughtful analysis of the themes occurring in different, specific sections of the text, through a creative video composition. Through their videos, students are able to bring life to their analysis with rich imagery and narration. The student videos will be viewed and discussed in class to further discover the overarching themes that flow through the text for a broader analysis of the entire poem. Below is a link to her learning goal and Marzano s...

What happens when art is blended with Google Slides and a heap of engaged middle school students are added ? Art portfolios that are easily shared with the class and the world with just a few clicks! The April teacher spotlight is Lisa Nadlicki. This teacher has learned right along with her students how to create and share Google Slideshow presentations with embedded images of the student's own art work.  Through this learning, she developed a way for all students (who want to and have parent permission) to be able to share their 2D art with the world outside of Glen Lake. Mrs. Nadlicki stated, " This year I decided to have electronic portfolios be a part of the 2D art class. T he portfolio is part of the student’s grade and they have the opportunity to have their portfolios published on the Glen Lake Web Page as well.   There were many purposes for this: I wanted students to see a progression in their work I wanted students to have all of their work in one place so ...

Physics, Algebra and Tech Integration!

Image
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 ...
