HOW TO DISTANCE LEARN WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL ANIMALS

FIRST IF YOU WORK WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEY ARE STRESSED OUT. MANY OF THE KIDS WON’T TURN THEIR CAMERAS ON AND MANY WON’T EVEN CHECK IN. TODAY KIDS HEAR “DISTANCE LEARNING DOES NOT WORK”, WHEN THEY HEAR THAT THEY IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN OR THINK IT’S OK TO NOT DO WELL ONLINE.

DISTANCE LEARNING IN CALIFORNIA IS, MOST LIKELY, THE SAME ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. KIDS ARE NOT FULLY IN TUNE AND PAYING ATTENTION. KIDS ARE LAYING IN BED, EATING IN BED, PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AND OR CHATTING ALL THE WHILE. IT’S REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE KIDS ATTENTION WHEN THEY ARE TUNED OUT.

I ALWAYS ASK THE KIDS TO TUNE IN, TURN ON, DRESS APPROPRIATELY, SIT UP AND BE READY TO LEARN. SOME DO SOME DON’T. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THE KIDS ARE PRESENT. IF A STUDENT ISN’T PAYING ATTENTION OR GAMING, THEY WILL BE CONFUSED AND AGITATED. THEY WON’T BUY INTO THE CLASS AND THEY WILL STRUGGLE. THIS IS WHY IT’S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE KIDS FOCUSED ON YOUR CLASS ONLY.

Posted on by itech104 in Uncategorized
  1. USING POWERPOINT (ON DESKTOP, NOT GOOGLE DRIVE), YOU WILL CREATE A STICK FIGURE ANIMATION.

YOUR STICK FIGURE MUST:
1 – WALK
2 – JUMP
3 – RUN
4 – CLIMB

ADVANCED KIDS:

1 – HOVER
2 – FRONT FLIP
3 – MOONWALK
4 – BACKFLIP

USE A BACKGROUND SUCH AS “YOSEMITE” OR SOME HD BACKDROP.

YOUR OBJECT MUST BE ACTIVE (MOVING) FOR AT LEAST 20SEC.

2) NEXT YOU MUST TURN YOUR POWERPOINT INTO A MOVIE

  1. GO TO SLIDESHOW – SET UP SLIDE SHOW
  2. CHECK “BROWSED AT KIOSK”
  3. CHECK “LOOP CONTINUOUSLY” – THEN SELECT “OK”
  4. NEXT — TRANSITIONS
  5. MAKE “DURATION” 00.02 (YOU HAVE TO FIDDLE WITH THIS)
  6. CHECK “ON MOUSE CLICK”
  7. CHECK “AFTER” (MAKE ALL ZERO’S, YOU MIGHT ADJUST THIS TOO)
  8. AT THE BOTTOM – “APPLY ALL”

3) FINALLY YOU MUST POST THIS MOVIE ON YOUR WEBPAGE UNDER – “MY-ANIMATION“

Why is Teaching the best job in America

Why is Teaching the best job in America

First, you get to work with the kids of this country.  No matter where you live, working with kids is more fun than you think.  Kids are hungry for knowledge whether they know it or not.  Teaching also allows a greater time to enjoy life.  We work 188 days of 365!  Having summers off is just another perk in teaching.

One way to stay young and in touch is teaching.  Teaching kids of any age will keep you young in the head.  You constantly verse up on the lingo, the fashion and music trends.  The students are always ready to share their experiences, good or bad.  They continually seek information that can give them an advantage.  The advantage can be in a certain subject or a better way to navigate the internet.
