Here is Our 21st Century Symposium Presentation!

On Friday, October 23, Mrs. Yollis and ten of her students gave a presentation at the 21st Century Learners Symposium.

Throughout the day, we demonstrated how we:
  • create an appropriate Internet image that does not reveal too much personal information, yet tells a story

  • compose and type our posts on our wireless AlphaSmarts

  • upload our posts to our blog and publish

Here is a link to project we made that day ~
Halloween: Who Are You?

  1. You guys did a great job presenting - it looked like it took lots of preparation and practice, but I know when you do something you enjoy, it sure is fun to tell people about it.

    Your participation in the symposium was brought up at our school board meeting this evening, and we are all really proud of Mrs. Yollis, your whole class, and Chaparral!

    I hope this comment is a two point one....(!!!!!)

  2. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I think the presentation was amazing. When you were there was it an honor? Also was it fun? If I was in your class last year would be so happy if I was there.

    Hope you go there next year!

    Your student,

    Nick

  3. Dear Mrs. Yollis and Mrs. Yollis' students,

    I was so impressed with all the student presentations. Your suggestions for how to create good blog postings and comments were so well thought-out and clearly explained. I am teaching 7th grade at Lindero Canyon Middle School this year, and I am having all my students participate in both a class blog and individual blogs. We are in the process of getting all these going right now. Today, I was focusing on good comments. I realized when I saw your presentation video last night that your suggestions did a better job of explaining what constitutes a good comment than I had prepared myself. I showed my students part of your video today, and they loved it! I embedded the full video in my own blog today, and I bet a lot of my students will watch the complete video. You should be very proud that you have helped me teach my 7th graders an important lesson.

    My favorite part was when we had the snacks in our room. (Especially the doghnut holes!)
