First students wrote their thesis and topic sentences, and then got feedback from the teacher. Then they filled in their supporting details, followed by their “hook”. They then filled in the background section and will write their conclusion last. The last column helps them to plan out what images and text they will include on each slide and to match the slide with the content. Nelson Taylor, middle school technology teacher, will also work with students to learn best practices for creating and presenting using Keynote.
Presentation skills are very important. In 7th grade Language Arts we are using a graphic organizer (an Essay Outline Guide) in Google Docs to improve student's writing and help them prepare a presentation of their ideas. Google docs allows students to see the organization of an essay in a very visual and flexible format, which helps all learners, but especially visual learners. The fact that it is a Google doc makes it easy for teacher Pat Micelli to give ongoing feedback.

looked at good and bad examples of website design to learn about the principles of color and font related to good websites. We also discussed components of websites and how to change the appearance of a Google Site. Students were engaged in creating a great looking site, and they are looking forward to adding and sharing their work throughout the school year.
In 6th Grade Social Studies, we are doing an Amazing Race around the world as we study geography, cultures and history. The students are working at their own pace to finish the activities that include tools such as Google Classroom, Google Maps Engine, Forms, Presentations, Videos, and Documents all about the different regions of the world. Using this Flipped Education Model, we are able to use more class time to work on projects while students learn the lessons at home or at their own pace.
