Re: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years

I wondered that too. It seems that a two year lock in to one course with t=
he same students loses some opportunity for other perspectives and other fo=
cuses. (I refuse to use the word foci, in this context)

Subject: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years
Yesterday at a department meeting it was mentioned that many of they
schools
in our area teach AP US History over a 2 year period (NJ has a 2
year US
History graduation requirement). The students sit for the AP exam at
the
end of the 2nd year.
This is the first that I had heard of this so I thought I would
check with
the list. If you have AP US History at your school is it taught in
one or
two years?
Thanks for your input.

Re: QUERY: database integration consultant?

Hi, Peter

Denise Musselwhite did several presentations at last year's NAIS
annual conference about her work in this area. She also said she was
available for consulting. I don't have her contact details, but she
works at Trinity Preparatory School.

I've been working on similar questions for about 18 months. Email me
if you want to do a Skype conversation about some common threads we've
found.

A Long-Range Document

For the fourth time in my career, I worked on the launch of a new
school website this week:

http://www.asl.org

I looked back at some of my previous sites, and I had a thought. It's
not uncommon for these sites to have 1500 visitors and 10,000 page
views a day, day after day, for five to seven years before the next
renewal. This new site is already pumping out alerts and
subscriptions and calendar feeds to users.

It crossed my mind that we can put a lot of effort into a play or
speakers series event, but it is over in a few nights. Same for a
monthly newsletter=96 read for a few days and then tossed. Same for a
graduation=96 big event, good memories, over in a day.

A web page is used and used and used. It's also a living document=96 we
have literally made tens of thousands of little changes in just three
days after it's launch, and we have tens of thousands to go before I
can rest about it's launch. There is no other school document that
clearly compares to it=96 a view book may be done every five years, but
it doesn't change and it isn't viewed every day by so many different
people.

Anyway, this is all about the long haul. A friend on this list once
told me that all technology decisions should be based on what is in
the long-term interests of the school. That is what a web page is
about. It's not about a big one night event that's over the next day.
It's a long-range investment, needing lots of care and feeding, but it
serves the school 24=D77, day in and day out.

Re: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years

What has worked here is an American History required course taught to tenth=
graders, and then the AP history for eleventh grader/ twelfth graders as a=
choice, and taught at a more in depth level. Two years of a required cour=
se in US History (at AP level or any level) would take up one half of the h=
istory options in high school, in an age when other histories and other voi=
ces in history are so much needed.

Re: lower school laptops

Hi,

We have our Lower School student use the MacBooks. They have been wonderfu=
l
because students are able to create podcast, movies, and music on the
laptops. They are able to combined all forms of media and use it as a
presentation materials to talk about their subject.

If you mix the MacBooks with JAMF Casper Suite (Mac management), you will
have a sweet time getting everything ready by the summer. We just started
to use JAMF Casper this past summer, and it helped our school deploy Macs
quicker and easier.

A few things to think about:
- Laptop carts does not negate the need for a computer lab. It just change=
s
the nature how we use it.
- Security policy for laptops. Who can borrow, where they can go, who is
responsible, where to store the cart, etc.
- Our Apple reps gives free workshops to our teachers on how to use the Mac=
s
in education. Free onsite tutorial on iMovie, Garageband, etc.

If you like to talk to one of our lower school teachers, I can hook you up
with one. Let me know.

Good morning everyone,

Next year, we are eliminating our lower school computer lab and are moving
toward a laptop cart for each grade (1-5). We currently are in the process
of getting hardware and software quotes as well as working with our teachers
to get lessons mapped out that tie into our curriculum.

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any schools
which already use laptops in their lower school who would be willing to talk
to me and our lower school computer teacher/integrator about what works and
what doesn't work in this environment. I know that all schools are different
and what works in one might not work in another, but I'm trying to get our
LS comp teacher as much information as possible to help easy any worries
and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

Re: lower school laptops

Hi Phil---

We are K-5 on this campus and have both--- a computer lab and carts of
laptops.

Kids come to the lab for skill instruction which is taught in conjunction
with a project that connects to a classroom unit of instruction.

This requires a thorough knowledge of all the curriculum as the ideas for
the projects are generally still suggested/created by me.

Teachers (K-4) also use the lab with their classes as we have allocated
"extra" computer time in our schedule and theirs for them to come to the
lab.

Carts are available anytime for anyone and are loaded with the main
applications used in the lab.

Their frequency of use is generally predicated on the tech comfort
level/knowledge of the classroom teacher and the amount of time the laptops
can be used (ie a classroom teacher generally has a larger block of time to
do set-up etc. than a departmentalized class).

I'm happy to talk with you about what you are planning and answer any
questions.=20

High School Division Leader

Hello Everyone,

We have a small but growing high school and are considering adding an
administrative division head position. We are busy working on a
description of job requirements and responsibilities. While we are very
aware that each school's needs are different it also would make sense to
consider the experience and thoughts of those of you who have already gone
through the process. If any of you would be willing to share your HS
Division Head job requirements and/or responsibilities, we'd be very
grateful.

Thanks,

Good morning everyone,

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any =
schools which already use laptops in their lower school who would be =
willing to talk to me and our lower school computer teacher/integrator =
about what works and what doesn't work in this environment. I know that =
all schools are different and what works in one might not work in =
another, but I'm trying to get our LS comp teacher as much information =
as possible to help easy any worries and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

Phil
