We created a google doc that we will be sharing tomorrow with some of the videos that we have created and information that we have collected from the survey we conducted. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19HbQLElYHlEmZAF8ShuWN7GWDQ_np1gnohvxTP_aT2M/edit?usp=sharing

My students are enjoying working with their hands on activities to help build a strong reading foundation. They are actively using different modalities of learning to help improve their academics. I love watching them learn and grow!

Update on Google student certification. Our 8th grade students have been working on several different apps over the first semester: Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Students have been creating presentations about the colleges they want to attend and sharing documents with other students

Our goal is that the teacher and student both will have the app and be able to use it for different things. The student may want to keep his or her digital notes online in a google folder or work in groups were they share information with their peers, where as; for the teacher he or she will be able to collect digital mathematics sample writing…Read More

So the Rocketbook app is how you make everything work, once a students finishes has work, you can upload it using the rocket app, which is free. Using it you can set up to 10 different destinations that the material can be uploaded. Multiple Emails, google drive folders, One drive folders, and a whole lot more…

Here is the Rocketbook Fusion, It has a variety of pages that the student one does not. The student version only has the dot version, where as the fusion has calendar, objective, idea and project templates. Both come with pen and eraser sheet. Also, you can use water to erase the pages so you can start over again and again.

We had two teams and as a result we were able to participate in four projects. We lead the “R Word Campaign”, served others as part of the Beta Club, paved the way to begin a Toiletry Bank, and had a huge Kindness campaign. We consider all of these endeavors as successful.

Our “R Word” Campaign opened the eyes of many of our students. They…Read More

I was happy to be a part of this amazing group! Each and everyone is inspiring and so dedicated to raising children to be proud of Eastern Kentucky. Our little school has been so busy like everyone else. We put on a sold out performance of Peter Pan. Again, our community came out in support. We had parent volunteers who did lighting, sound, and…Read More

Just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone (Teachers, Students, Principals, and administrators) in the KVEC region for doing such a great job this year. I was so impressed with all the presentations going on yesterday and I hope to see even more great things next year. Thanks again, have a wonderful rest of the year.

Students in Mr. Thompsons class are using digital tools to created videos. Today, I meet with the students on what they could do to improve their products. Items like adding sound and graphics where so of the things that we discussed. I’m very proud of our students they are doing a wonderful job creating these resources.

What’s up? Its been a while since we met in the fall. I have been busy planning and implementing my grant. I love having this opportunity. This coming Friday, March 15 I am filming my next cooking show with our county judge executive, Scott Alexander. If you have every produced a show I would love to share ideas.

My students have really taken on this project and have been excited about teaching younger students. They are answering questions from their younger “students” with confidence, and checking on them from time to time to make sure they are successful in using them. They even took on the responsibility of talking to the teachers of the younger…Read More

It took a while for my students to get used to the idea that they were not only going to have to learn how to use the Rocketbooks for themselves, but master their use and learn how to teach others how to use the notebooks. They were nervous about it, but knew they needed to take it serious because the education of younger kids who needed some…Read More

It was a little more difficult that I first expected to get the kids and their general education teachers to buy in to using the Rocketbooks at first. They were so used to having a notebook for every class. Even though most of the time the notes in these notebooks were never used to study or refer to, and the assignments created in these…Read More

My students have been loving the Rocketbook notebooks they received. It took some getting used to. They felt as if they needed to still have several notebooks, but after time they started to realize how much easier it was to keep up with all of their assignments and notes. They get excited to write, which was an unexpected bonus. They want to…Read More

I’m so thankful that we have a great relationship with our local radio station. They have allowed us to come in and share our school’s story. As we have grown and changed, they allowed us again to come in and share an updated version of our story. They also sent us the file so we could post to various social media platforms. I encourage you to…Read More

Thanks to all who attended the 1:00 virtual meeting today. We will repeat at 3:30 today for those that couldn’t attend the 1:00 meeting. See email for link!

Today our group worked on seeing if we could live stream through the SlingStudio onto our Youtube page. We are very excited to say it worked very well. This will lead to more things that we can do with our new technologies.

In addition to our leadership team working on the “Celebrating Educator and Student Success at the Capitol” they were very interested in showcasing all the leadership activities that our school is involved in. We invited “The Holler Boys” to come and speak with our students about creating several videos that would showcase all they have done. We…Read More

Okay folks, I need a little help. I’m trying to attach some media files, but it won’t let me. Thanks.

As part of the community engagement, we have been developing a Flat Gap news broad cast. This broadcast informs parents and students about what is happening in the school. We are also working with WSIP and have created…Read More
