More Wildlife Experience Slideshares
Here are the remainder of the slides the students made. They worked in groups of three to upload content and create their own slideshows.
The Second Grade Wildlife Experience
My class and all of Kemp's primary students got to visit the Wildlife Experience in Parker, CO. As part of our project we learned some vocabulary prior to going, practiced documenting with video and still cameras, then I set the students loose in teams at the Wildlife Experience to learn and photograph the parts they were most interested in so that we could create our PowerPoint presentations.
We found some exhibits with QR smart barcodes and phone in features that we explored only superficially given time constraints. I imagine a future in which students in the classroom go to their "Centers" with a mobile device and scan the barcode on the table for the center activity.
Anyway, we have been practicing with students building files in Smart Notebook which has been a lot of fun. We decided to use the Smart Notebook export to Powerpoint feature for our powerpoints. It is definitely easier for my second graders than making slides in Powerpoint. One draw back as you can see in the attached Slideshares of our presentations is that when you convert files you get some strange font size changes. We messed around with it for a while trying to fix it. Ultimately by the last Powerpoint we found that if we took a screen capture of the page we had built in Smart Notebook and then deleted the original page it uploaded all the content as an image.

Nutrition Series, Smartboard lesson
Our school has partnered with INEP the Integrated Nutrition Education Program through CU where the students receive different healthy foods, learn about nutrition, help in food preparation with the goal of eating more fruits and vegetables.
I'm going to post some lessons that I am adapting to include technology for my class. For most of these I will incorporate a descriptive writing piece.
Here's a lesson on making healthy English Muffin Pizzas that the students really enjoyed. I modified it to include some graphing, photo examples, and an interactive activity with the food pyramid. This helps me cover more information in a shorter amount of time. The lesson is posted here.

Welcome, Mrs. Cipkar's class!
Dear ePals,
We are so excited to get your emails. We loved learning about Canadian money! We took some pictures of our money and we will send them to you. We made a short video to introduce ourselves. We hope you like it!
