9th grade computer science student Francisco Ayala Le Brun won a Bronze Medal at Olimpiada Mexicana de Informatica on March 5-12 in Veracruz. Now he and 29 other students from throughout Mexico are part of the Preseleccion Mexicana de Informatics. These students will be training at a very high level for the next year as only 4 Mexicans student will be representing the country at | |

Ninth grade science students are not only learning fundamentals of science and chemistry, they are getting a lesson in thinking about learning. Students complete ungraded quizzes about science content. Then students complete reflections commenting on their preparation relative to their quiz score. How do they know their score? Flubaroo allows their teacher to send each student a personal grade report via email instantly. Students can immediately address their misunderstandings and misconceptions about the content by asking good questions. They can also reflect on how their study habits influenced the outcome of the quiz. Their teacher learns which topics are causing students trouble as well. Students are engaged in these formative assessments and gain insight about their own learning process. Simple solutions can provide great rewards. Learn more about using Flubaroo on the Teacher Resources site.
chosen to join the eight-week course. Students have been using Sublime Text 3 to learn the basics of Java and HTML. By the end of the eight-week course, students will design a project of their own. It's great to see students collaborating and coding on Saturdays!
11th grade students used motion sensors to collect data in science class. The sensor connects with the laptop for easy transfer to spreadsheets and other data manipulation tools. Using devices to collect and transfer data engages students in learning how to manipulate and understand scientific data. |
