January Professional Development
Once again, I am going to put this whole professional development day on-line in case I am hit by a bus or abducted by aliens again. (Long story...) But this time it is all in this one handy little blog post! Feel free to be as self-directed as you'd like to be. I will be wandering around so feel free to yell for me if you need any assistance or clarification.
Activity 1:
Do the Internet Discernment Lesson that I did with Niles' CP2 class. In an attempt to show students that not everything they find on the internet is accurate I put these beauties together. The class completed this lesson in 45 minutes. For fun, try to beat their time!
When you have completed the lesson, take a look at Kathy Schrock's website evaluation sheets.
Activity 2:
Go to the Downers Grove North High School Library Plagiarism Site. It is my favorite plagiarism site. Run through the list of Paper Mill Searches - take a look at the ones that interest you. Choose a couple of websites that interest you and read them. See if you can find the articles at the end via our Ebsco access.
Activity 3:
You have choices!
a. Write a research paper using the skills that you learned in the November p.d. class. Plagiarize as much as you like and then see if I can catch you!
b. I sent out an email asking who is currently working on a project integrating technology into their classrooms. Those people will give a brief picture of what they are doing. Feel free to jump onto their coattails as they develop the project.
c. Take the time you wished you had in the last p.d. class to look over the websites and databases that were presented. Wave your hand wildly in the air and shout if you have any questions or concerns.
