Here are a few outside links that you may find interesting. I've used some of these in researching for lesson plans. |
This page features links to other projects for my
Technology Across the Curriculum, and Math and Science Methods courses, as well as to some samples of projects from other courses. Some are more boring than others. In other words, I included some because they were required to be linked here, while others are included for interest. Animals
that live in rocky shore intertidal zones are unusual, fascinating, and
very unique in their adaptations, as they must be able to survive daily
fluctuations in their environment, including periods of time out of
water. I wrote and taught a unit on marine biology for my fifth grade
work sample, and taught a first grade unit on marine and intertidal animals as well.
Here are photos I took at Cape Arago of a giant Pacific chiton (also known as a gumboot), and a sunflower sea star. |
Requirements for Course: Technology Across the Curriculum Philosophy of Education (condensed version) The original version is over 20 pages long and no one in their right mind would want to read it! (Except, of course, Prof. Bailey, who assigned it.) Try out this fun WebQuest on exploring Oregon! Jeannette Rankin Podcast This podcast, about the life of the first woman elected to Congress, was a joint effort with friend and fellow student, Beverlee Brick. It was created with Apple's Garage Band software application, and in addition to photos of Ms. Rankin from the internet, it features some of my original photography. Project TEAM iMovie Expressive Arts Lesson (modified to remove clips that showed children) Technological Literacy Reflection iMovie Mission: Possible (group project for math & science methods course) Dee wrote the script, José and Dee did the acting, Nicole did the photography, and I did the computer editing - both video and audio. This was fun to edit! Last but not least, this website! Homepage |
"Of Greenhorns and Plywood Sails" This narrative was part of a project to develop a writer's workshop for elementary and middle school. Learning Communities "I am From" Spanish Literature (Undergrad) La abra (The Cove) Translation of Muere Lentamente by Neruda Math & Science Methods Tides Microteaching Lesson Plan Social Studies Methods I Lesson plan to accompany WebQuest Learning Communities Brochure on the book "The First Days of School" by Harry & Rosemary Wong Work Samples Upper Elementary Unit: Oceans & Shores An Investigation of Marine Biology in the Rocky Shore Intertidal Zones Primary Unit: Metamorphosis An Investigation of the Metamorphosis of Butterflies and Frogs The primary grades work sample has too many pieces to post here. Both of these were fun to design and fun to teach, but what a lot of work! I tend to over do things, and these were no exception. No Particular Reason What I Learned in College As if I didn't get enough of writing in college, I wrote this entirely for fun, not for a class, to include with my thank you notes for graduation. |
