MAP testing is almost over and we’ve got a couple of fun projects planned out for the rest of the year and some other stuff to finish up as well. Look here next week for an update on our GPS/Geocaching unit through PE and Computers with 2nd grade and some interesting facts about the Government for 1st grade.
But the most exciting news for next week is that Tripp School is going to Springfield. Well, 4 of us are anyway. As part of the Tech 2010 conference in Springfield, IL, I will be presenting our Tigercast project with 3 of its student participants in the rotunda of the state capitol building. The conference is designed to let schools show our legislators how we use the money they give us for technology. I’ll have some pictures and reflections to post here when we get back.
If you haven’t checked out Tigercast, please do so. The students involved work very hard on it each month. Due to some scheduling issues, we got off to a late start this year but we hope to have 4 episodes up by the end of the year. We hope to have a new episode up on Monday afternoon and a special episode will be posted here on Thursday from Springfield if we can manage to squeeze it in during our short time there.
