on-line photo album volney's cooperative learning groups

Here is my slideshow of my class, in cooperative learning groups. Each student has a job, like leader, material manger, voice monitor, cleaner. The students really enjoy working together.

My screen cast was on Lattice Multiplication. My student Sharod explained the steps to lattice multiplication. He was eager to help and said after that he enjoyed creating a screen cast and he would love to do it again. I think that this is a great way to assess.

PLN

As I worked on my PLN tonight, I realized I could work on it forever. I'm always evolving, and so is my learning.

tonight in class, I was helping Mike Carlin create his google earth trip.

Webquest

Here is my webquest on Ben Franklin for my 5th grade students.  It is pretty basic, but for being my first,  it should work.

2nd google doc.

In this activity, my students all have GMail accounts.  In this interactive activity, the students create a multiplication story problem and add it to the doc.  Then other students come and answer the problem.  The student that creates the problem must put their name in parentheses and a special color, then another student answer it in a different color.  I hope this works.  The goal is over time, the problems will get harder and the students will explain how they got the answer.

Google Earth Field Trip

It took me a while to work on this google earth field trip thing.  There were a lot of steps to remember and time very consuming. I'm sure that after doing it a few times, it will get easier.
