Wow, 20 School Days until Westest2!If you need any help using Acuity as an Instructional Resource with your students, please ask. I can help you get study lessons set up for students to complete on your classroom computers or find you equipment to present tutorials to the whole class. Once students are logged into the Acuity site they will need to click on the "STUDY" icon and subject to find the Instructional Resources you have assigned to them.
TECHSTEPS Link to TechSteps Schedule. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcrxzpdg_59chp3w2gx If you need help creating an assessment group and setting up projects for students to complete, I am here to help. This will need to be done before your students enter the lab to complete the TechSteps projects. Fourth grade will be completing the "Extend a Pattern" project, and Fifth grade teachers will have a choice in completing "Talk to a Topic" or "Ray's Electricity Model." Teachers choosing the PowerPoint project will need to schedule a laptop and projector the day before and after their scheduled computer lab time.
