You are doing incredible things in your classroom. Please take a few minutes to share with your colleagues so we can learn from each other.
At DSMS students are collaboratively creating PVLearners presentations which will be used to teach their classmates about various authors. Students use printed and internet media sources to research assigned authors and then create an informative and appealing presentation that they will present in class to educate their classmates prior to reading literature by that author.
By keeping a check sheet of student work, I find I can put in a weekly grade rather than 4 or 5 grades, which saves me time when recording classwork and home work. Not too "green" but I bet many of you have other great time saving tips to prepare us for our 40 students per class next year.

Our school is working diligently at incorporating technology.

Ours staff collaborates on different uses of technology.
