Parent Coffee - Internet Safety 3-5

How do we keep students safe while still allowing them access to the amazing tools available in 2016?

Today I led a Parent Coffee about Internet (and Technology) Safety geared toward the parents of students in grade 3-5. This was the second in a series, building on last weeks presentation geared toward grades K-2. 

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend, we had a great conversation. Attending in person is not always possible, so to ensure the entire community has access to the conversation I am posting the presentation for all to share and use...

Parent Coffee - Twitter!

Once again Mr. Casal will be talking Twitter during a Parent Coffee session. Last year was his first year at Heathcote and the first annual "Twitter @HeathcoteSchool Parent Coffee" was held. As a school community Heathcote has made amazing strides in using social media, Twitter in particular, to create a vibrant, transparent learning community that puts the awesome work of our students at the forefront.

It is now time time for the 2nd annual "Twitter @HeathcoteSchool Parent Coffee!"

This is the agenda, with associated links to resources, for the event...

Welcome parents!

Tonight is Open House, feel free to stop by the Computer Lab and say hello.

If we don't get the chance to meet face-to-face, here is a quick over view of what we do with technology here at Heathcote...

Welcome to HeathcoteTech

Looking forward to another great year.

5th grade Rocketry Books

This post is a work in progress as students finish & tweak their animated books

The following items are animated books created using Google Slides with Ms. Boyer's class.

From start to finish our Rocketry unit spanned eight weeks.  The children read, researched, watched, learned, documented, designed, created, evaluated and analyzed throughout the entire project.  These books represent their learning, not only of rocketry, but of non-fiction narrative writing, the writing process, design thinking and Google presentations.  The rubric that accompanies their projects is one that the students created to help them revise, edit and evaluate their own work.  Enjoy! - @5Boyer
