Podcast

Hey lindsey! I hope all is well (and warm) in AZ! I started thinking about our upcoming podcast that we have to do together. We have to talk for about 3-5 minutes. Humm...What do you think are some important things that we should say? Elearning says that we should write a script, but I think writing a few ideas down for each of us to discuss should be fine. If we both talk for about two minutes we should be good. Here are some ideas I was thinking about:
*Introducing us as teachers
*Intro to our idea
*Why we think it is important for kids to participate
*What it is exactally that we're doing
*What we hope the students will get out of it
*What future life skills the students will obtain
*So the students realize that one person DOES make a difference in the environment
*we hope they will support their children

Anything else you can think of?! I am hoping to get my section done ASAP I just have to figure out where to get a mic from on campus.

Here is our updated concept map. I know there are not many ideas on here that you (lindsey) did not say, but we seem to have similar lesson plans for our unit so all of my new ideas fit nicely into yours! sorry it took so long!

Collaborative Inspiration

Jamie~We also have to add to our concept map...my inspiration trial version has expired and I would assume yours has as well. I will email Prof. Peterson to see what she would recommend we do. I'm pretty sure we have to use the program to add to the map. Anyway, I thought we could add:

HOW-Sorting materials into bins:
  • cardboard
  • plastic
  • paper
  • aluminum
HOW- Everyone has a job/responsibility
  • sort
  • collect
  • deliver
  • conserve
HOW- Inspire school and community
  • student presentations
  • kick-off event
  • motivational speaker-expert?
These are just ideas. Let me know if you still have access to inspiration for the concept map, or if you have any ideas to add as well. Have a great day!

Lesson Plan 2: Data Collection

Hey Jamie!

I am assuming you are going to focus your lesson plan this week on the "classroom waste audit" idea from a few weeks ago. This project will fit perfectly with that. I am thinking of a project to tie in to the lesson on the importance of recycling that you did your power point on. The students will have to conduct a survey with peers, teachers, and community members of the top 3 reasons they feel it is important to recycle. From their data, a class could then generate a Letterman-style "Top Ten List." I think it could be fun for the students to then present it using movie-maker or something later. Let me know what you think.

Movie Maker

I am about to attempt to movie maker. I think that I am going to do it on the different roles/jobs that will need to be created to get their campaign started. :) Hope ours does not overlap at all.
