First and foremost, I want to congratulate Social Studies teachers Ann Neary and John Chernewski, their students, and CFF Coach Stan Shumski, for having their Civics and Government lesson "Election Headquarters" accepted for presentation at Student Capitol Day. Student Capitol Day is an opportunity to celebrate the success of the Classrooms for the Future program and share with legislators what is happening in schools across the Commonwealth. The event will be held from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM on May 11, 2010 in the East Rotunda of the Capitol in Harrisburg. Students invited to attend will have the opportunity to speak with legislators and demonstrate innovative projects they created using the high tech equipment provided through the state grant.
Below are other unique projects as described by Stan Shumski:
This was one of the videos from our Election Headquarters project. Creating a video like this would be a good Earth Day project.
Check out the video projects done by our 7th grade geography students. The New York and Delaware Projects show some good effort by our 7th graders as they are learning how to use Photostory 3 to make and upload videos to their new class Wikispaces. This student did a great job timing her pics to the beat of the music. This student recorded her voice on each picture.
Check out Mr. Callahan's 11th grade class that has just started a "Wedding Planner" Wikispace Site.
Below is a video created by the Plastics Technology class with the assistance of Mr. Shumski. The students in the video are testing a row boat designed and constructed in their class.
