 * || Grade and Parent Portal Webinar

Study Island || This webinar was set up to show a potential new grade and parent portal package to key teachers and administrators. Study Island is a tool that we continue to add to various grade levels. || The feedback from the teachers and administrators who attended was very positive. A second version of the webinar was scheduled for the elementary administrators and teachers who were unable to attend the first. Study Island provides our students with 24/7 access to math and rading activities. This was first implemented in grades 4, 5, 6. This year the math department grades 7-11 added it as a resource. As of January it will be added for language arts grade 11. In addition, we are planning to purchase it for grades K-3. This product will provide continuity for our students and parents will become familiar with this resources as one their child can access at home for additional support. Study Island provides a variety of activities and games to engage students. It has been well received by staff and has been popular at the 4, 5, 6 level. We anticipate that the K-3 students will find it very engaging and will be motivated to work on it at home and school. At the high school level it is being used as a supplemental resource in math and I have not heard anything negative about it at this point. || || This is a screen shot of a performance tracker report. || After meeting with vendors and bringing in three possible products for data collection to the administrative team for review, Performance Tracker was chosen. ||

 * || Boot Camp Final Products

|| These artifacts are some examples of final projects created as part of the Technology Boot Camp requirement || The teachers felt very good about the professional development they received during the summer technology boot camp. By having them connect and integrate technology to a learning unit or lesson that was already used in their classroom it was possible for them to see how technology can easily connect to their curriculum. ||
