Using an LMS in Flex Mod

We believe at Pulaski High School that a Flex Mod schedule is the best schedule for students.  In the last two weeks we have had Liberal High School in Kansas and SPASH in Stevens Point visit us to see how our schedule works.

We are in year three and believe and LMS (learning management system) is essential for students and staff to maximize classroom and personal learning time (PLT) for a positive learning experience.

Below is the presentation that outlines some major ways we utilize our lms, Canvas.  No matter what lms is used, a "one stop shop" for course resources is essential for success.




I created the presentation in Keynote and exported it to YouTube.

Stick Around App For High School Psychology Students Teaching Third Graders About The Brain

Students in Mr. Krause's Psychology class created literature paper books to teach third graders about the brain.  From those books, students created interactive puzzles using the Stick Around app that will be an interactive learning game following the reading of the book.

Students were collaborating with a partner to critically think about how the book could be made into an interactive puzzle.  Once those determinations were set, they created an inner and outer brain puzzle complete with images, text, and definitions. 
This is all based on our district's mission and vision.

The Stick Around app was the PERFECT app for this learning activity!

Switcher Studio Provides Perfect Tool to Record Foods For Life Demonstration

We've always wanted to "set up" our foods lab with a multiple camera production studio to provide students with adequate viewing of demonstrations.  Below you will see our production with Switcher Studio, AirServe, three iPads as cameras, and one director iPad.  All iPads are located on the same wi-fi network and we recorded the production as it happened.

The final production after editing in iMovie on the iPad is below.
