Digital Science Fair (Update)

2/26/2016

Back in November, we showcased the Science teachers at GMS for trying something new this year (going digital!) with the annual Science Fair.  Well, students have been diligently working on their projects since then and the time has finally come to show off all their hard work! Teachers displayed the students’ projects in the school cafeteria and on Thursday, February 11th, parents and community members came to check them out!

Students were given the option to complete the traditional science fair tri-fold board or to use a digital platform to complete it. Some students even chose to do a combination of the digital and traditional projects which produced some awesome results! All of the digital projects were completed in Google Slides and were displayed using QR codes. Grab your device (with a QR Reader) to check out some of their amazing exhibits below!

Students as Teachers

2/26/2016

In Lori McIntyre's classroom, students were given the opportunity to play the part as teachers to their classmates. Students were allowed to lead a lesson with a topic of their choosing. The preparation for these student led lessons was quite a process!

Students first had to write a proposal for the topic they wanted to present to their classmates. They had to research about their topic, cite their sources, and decide how they would like to present the lesson to the class. Students determined what they would like for their classmates to do during the lesson and how to assess them.

It was great to see all the different ways the students chose to present their lesson and how they decided to assess their classmates to see what they've learned. As information was presented using the Apple TV, some students kept their classmates' engaged by having discussions in between slides, asking questions and calling on students even those who didn't have their hand raised. Some students decided to give a pre and post test, and some had the students grade their own test.
​As the students led their lesson, they were assessed by their teacher using a rubric they created themselves. What a great way for students to lead and set the standard for their work!
