QR Code Problem Solving - Karen Gullatt

Karen Gullatt's 2nd graders at Cottonwood Creek Elementary experienced problem solving with a twist. Ms. Gullatt hung QR codes around the school and students used a QR code reader app to scan the codes and read story problems for math. Students then worked in teams to solve the problems.

Google docs at Town Center Elementary were used for various engineering projects, science and math assignments for the students to collaborate and share information in 4th grade.  The students used the “draw a picture” tool to create schematic diagrams for an electricity unit or create their design for a water filter to clean the Ganges River.  They also utilized the docs to share with other students and add sticky-note comments about their ideas. We also used Google Docs as an interactive notebook.

Poll Everywhere - Kelsey Donahue

To help students understand the grading process and rubric for the Elementary Personal Project, Kelsey Donahue, who teaches 5th grade at Denton Creek Elementary, led a team of teachers who presented projects for students to grade. She provided the students with rubrics and had students use Poll Everywhere on iTouches to submit their scores for the teachers' projects. Once submitted, the students discussed the results which were posted on the Smart Board.
