Ok, don't get all worked up! I know most 8th graders abhor homework...go ahead, look up the word "abhor", but maybe you don't need to! Anyway...I was a student last week and took a GREAT class at the John Muir Teacher Academy at Verona High School. The class was "Google Tools for Educators". I learned SO much neat stuff!! The project I did was to design a lesson that would incorporate some Google Tools and would follow the guidelines of the Ide@s Scholars program. After I implement the lesson in September with my 8th graders and "tweak" whatever's necessary, I will resubmit the lesson to the Ide@s organization (through UW-Madison) and they will upload it to their website...cool!!
So, homework is only fun when it's interesting to the student...will keep that in mind when we start the school year on September 1st!
Ms. Schels- this is neat! The "Google Tools for Educators" sounds like it would be really interesting. To bad our class didn't get a chance to do this sort of lesson:(
