After great planning and execution for STEM week by Mr. Carroll and myself, it’s always nice to receive surprise thank you notes from some very thoughtful middle schoolers and their kind teacher. What struck me the most was how they were specific with their feedback about what they loved for our bannedbook event and MassSTEMweek and what they think of us as teachers. It speaks volumes about who we are and strive to be at Marshall Simonds Middle School. </div>

One of the coolest parts of my role as technology integration specialist is that I get to research new or revitalized apps, websites, tools for blended learning. GlogsterEDU is one of the chosen for staff and students at MSMS. It is a multimedia and digital poster tool that can be created from scratch or there is an amazing glogpedia to select pre made glogs from or utilize a pre made template. So here is a glog of our monthly newsletter showcasing a few of the features. Staff and students are all eligible for a glogster account paid for by BPS. Come see Mr. Carroll or Mrs. Floyd to get glogging! </div>

Year two at MSMS presents many different challenges than year one for us at MSMS. We have decided after watching how the library/learning commons operate last year, there are a few changes that might increase our book circulation as well as increase the amounts of different learning spaces for groups to be working in. It remains the dream team of Mr. Carroll and Mrs. Floyd who compliment each other and enjoy collaborating on so many different evolving parts of our positions. We are genrifying our collection which means breaking it into smaller sub collections based on genre. We also have been working to identify current young adult literature based on student interest and whats needed within our collection. </div>

<br />
Just want to show off some student work connected to literacy. These students used the application Tellagami edu to recreate scenes and a book summary for their ELA selections. I was impressed at the ease of the app as well as students typing in the script. Characters were limited in physical features but we were looking harder at the text summaries produced by the students. A great beginning...stay tuned<br />

This week at the MSMS Learning Commons, we are displaying book covers that have been challenged or banned throughout history and the reasons why. We had a heated group of 6th graders really questioning why some books were challenged and the reasons we should be aware of this. Mrs. Sturtevant quickly whipped up a quick google form and was nice enough to share it for all! Thanks. Let's see how many you have read!<br />

This morning, I worked in a grade 6 classroom beginning and end of unit project on Among the Hidden by Haddix. The students did a tremendous job. We began with a quick intro on choices of concepts like book summaries versus book reviews, alternate endings, alternate scenes, top 10 list, a to z books and many other multimedia projects that allow our students to show what they know in an unconventional way as opposed to simply writing a book report. The choice for applications was Explain Everything, Imovie and Book Creator. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Students were grouped in 2's or 3's and spent the entire period filming and refining their concept. I like to give lots of freedom to choose and then refine the concept with each group individually as they are working.</div>

Increasing student understanding and learning workflow are 2 really important goals at MSMS. Using the GAFE (Google Apps for Education) package, students utilize their individual drive accounts on their ipad to upload pics, videos and projects that can then be shared. These are the foundational apps that we begin with at MSMS and then individual homeroom ipad carts can be modified with additional apps to enhance teaching, learning and student understanding. </div>

The students have generated technical as well as personal questions to ask one another and are getting to know eachother and their goals as a students tech team. Its been really great to connect the opposite coasts. They connected and talked about HOUR of Code and the movie they were creating using the Grinch to share with students about taking care of their device.

Mrs. Sullivan invited me in to work with her and Mrs. Gover, reading specialist at grade 6 after hearing about the great projects that Mr. Leslie's learners completed last week. It was really inspiring to work with such fine cooperative and energetic students. We generated a list of ideas/concepts we could explore to show what we know in a digital format and the learners exceeded all our expectations. These students each created amazing project based learning in small groups to show what they know!<br />

Now show what you know.....Thank you Mr. Leslie for having me in to collaborate with you and your sixth grade students!<br />
<br />
Mr. Leslie, grade 6 reached out to me and let me know he was completing Holes By Louis Sachar and was looking for an end of unit project utilizing the iPads that all students have in our 1:1 environment. We talked and then set up times that I could come in and collaborate on this project. Mr. Leslie was open to all different forms of end of unit assessment. Some of the learning targets involved using what the students learned during the reading to create a book trailer, book review, alternate ending, summary, etc. Many of the suggestions we discussed involved using the apps iMovie and/or Book Creator but we were open to other student choices as well.<br />

The best part was watching our normally very chatty group settle in and get coding. The Anna and Elsa game from code.org was a big draw. The connection to video games on Tynker drew in several of our students. there were students who got frustrated immediately and then some who just concentrated and quickly embraced the command that they needed in order to get something to move in the direction they were commanding it to go. Overall a successful event and we hope to have inspired some future coders/programmers in the world! Stay tuned for pics.....</div>

Mrs. Jennifer Scheffer and I held the first Parent Tech night of 2014-15 on the first Tuesday of October and members of the BPS Edtech team will be hosting other workshops throughout the school year. November's topic will be Living in the Cloud with an emphasis on Google Drive and Google Docs. We look forward to learning and working together.<br />
