Unit Plans

In future courses, I would like to see the presentation reviews for the benefit of content rather than presentation quality. The presentation is great for idea sharing, brainstorming, and critiquing for content. Since this presentation review was so different from the past in that everyone covered something different, it had a lot more benefit for all. Having a variety of material to listen to instead of 5 version of the same thing was refreshing too.

I am very interested in getting copies of all the grade school level unit plans. They are all well thought out and I can't wait to add them to my ever expanding collection of lessons. I even went back to school on Thursday all pumped with ideas on how to use spreadsheets with second graders. Tom gave me some very good ideas. I used excel with them and things went really well. I took it very slowly and they followed along just fine. I couldn't find much on the Internet on using spreadsheets with primary grades, but I didn't put that much effort into the search either. It is something I need to pursue. I think I am going to use spreadsheets with the third graders to make arrays and a multiplication table. That is the kind of learning I like, when I can take it right back to my lab and see it in action!
