The PLAN
It turns out that we get to start Makin' It Mainstream at LVS! Our school just received word that we have received a $900.00 school-based Seed Grant from ManACE! We are very excited and have already submitted purchase orders for 2 NEO2 units; 1 Mobile Scanner ; and 2 iPod Touches . We will also have access to some iPads already in service at our school. We are hoping provide tools to help deepen understanding and build self-esteem in students who have achieved minimal success in school.Ten students have been formally identified for this project, but the benefits will reach others through role-modelling and conversations. Attendance will be tracked using Maplewood to see if there are any fluctuations. In a perfect world, attendance would improve, but the time span is rather short. Pre- and post-writing samples and a pre- and post-ear and eye reading samples will be collected. An Excel spreadsheet is ready to house this information. We are looking forward to carrying out this little bit of research in our school!
Hats off to Mr. Hordeski and the grade 6, 7 and 8 students who helped make the digital story! Thank you for promoting learning for all at LVS!
