Google Hangouts Tutorial for Small Vet Inter School Collaboration

Freshmen Physical Education Creation Tools

Throughout the week, all freshmen students experienced learning opportunities pertaining to creation tools.  Civics and English 9 instructors wanted students to create or publish so we gave them tools to choose.

The tools for physical education were different.  See the presentation below.

PHS Autos - Building A Library of Skills

Students are starting to creating their video library of skills using images, video, and voice over.  Essentially, students are critically thinking about the steps to accomplish a task (in this case it was a brake job), creatively thinking about the content and how they want their video to be viewed, and sharing it to the world!

We really want students to choose the tool that they want to create with based on what they think their skills.

Here's the presentation of tools:

"Walking In Students' Shoes" Google Expedition & Virtual Reality

Some of our English students related a story in which the theme was empathy and "walking in another person's shoes" by experiencing life as a refuge.

Students were fascinated on the amount of challenges that refugee students experienced in their daily educational life.  Google Expeditions were a perfect tool for our students to experience "traveling" to another part of the globe without leaving Pulaski High School.

It was fantastic seeing high school students engaged and immersed into their educational environment.

Small Engine Disassemble and Assemble With Choice of Digital Tool 2017

Today, students were introduced to four tools that can help them explain the process of disassembling and assembling a small engine in Mr. Marsh's class.  The presentation included a video from the Service Director at Gandrud Automotive Group which help solidify to the students how valuable a video is in setting potential job candidates apart from others in the industry.

Students have the choice of the following tools:

• iMovie
• Adobe Video
• Explain Everything
• Chatterpix

Thank you Mr. Laatsch for your words of wisdom to our students. 

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.
