LAS VEGAS (AP) - Four years ago, senior Donovan Souder never saw himself taking a journalism class at Spring Valley High School. His mind was occupied by sports - baseball, basketball and anything else that would keep him from writing, he said.

"I tried to switch out of the class," he said. "But I ended up liking it because I'm into sports. I started off as a sportswriter. It helped me see a different side of things . being an athlete and then writing about it, it kind of helps on the field as well."

Souder is now the editor-in-chief of the Grizzly Growler, Spring Valley High's award-winning student newspaper. Its staff of about 25 was among 67 finalists nationwide for the Pacemaker award, given by the National Scholastic Press Association, and among 34 Columbia Scholastic Press Association Crown winners nationwide. Crown winners are judged on overall excellence, and the staff will learn in March whether it has earned a gold or silver designation.

In both competitions, Spring Valley was the only Nevada school recognized, according to adviser and journalism teacher Tara Verderosa, who works part time as a designer for the Review-Journal.

Souder said the class changed his perspective on journalism and is preparing him to reach his goal of becoming a sports broadcaster.

He is one of four student editors involved in submitting applications for the awards. Verderosa's entire Journalism II class of about 25 students helped gather materials - clipping stories from their paper and compiling award submissions.

"It feels really good," said 17-year-old Dillon Concepcion, managing editor. "We're not going to win every year, but we have to keep working hard and do our best. I feel like we have a really good adviser, and that's why we do so well. When I first signed up for this class, I didn't know anything about journalism, and I didn't know I was going to be good at it, but after what she's been teaching us and how to do this stuff, we're pretty good."

The students cover topics in the school and community, and most recently, copy editor Hana Helfand wrote a cover story about sexual assault. It included teenagers' takes on allegations against new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and it elicited a powerful reaction.

"We made a survey for students to fill out, and one person actually spoke up about a situation in which she faced sexual assault," Helfand told the Las Vegas Review-Journal . "We were sitting at the computer, thinking, wow. We couldn't believe we had that sort of impact. It felt surreal."

Verderosa has taught the class since 2014, reviving a journalism program that had gone inactive for about a year.

"The program kind of died, and in my soul, I couldn't let it," she said. "They're a great group of kids. I'm going to be sad when this group of seniors graduates, because they helped build the paper to what it is now."

National recognition for Spring Valley High student paper

Web-Based, Interactive Learning Helps Middle Schoolers Excel in Science

A new study shows that web-based learning tools in the classroom promote science literacy for underachieving students. Source: University of Oregon

Middle schoolers did better with science lessons when they could learn online, watching videos, playing educational games, running virtual experiments and collaborating with classmates. Under-achievers did especially well, with access to pop-up vocabulary definitions, interactive diagrams, digital note-taking, watching videos with captions and access to text-to-speech that allowed them to hear information read aloud to them.

That's what a research project found when it introduced four interactive web-based science units to 2,303 students and 71 teachers who had access to computers or tablets in 13 middle schools in three school districts in Oregon and Georgia. The results have just been openly published in the International Journal of Science Education. The same cohort of sixth-graders was tracked for three years, with schools in each district assigned randomly to either the treatment or control group. Educators in the treatment group received access to technology, professional development on how to use the interactive online resources, instructional content and materials for lab activities.

The science units designed for the project aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards for grades 6, 7 and 8. The four units covered 10 to 14 weeks of daily instruction and included:

Knowing My Body (life science);

Caring for Our Planet (life science);

Our Place in the Universe (earth and space science); and

Energy: Going Beyond the Sports Drink (physical science)

Teacher resources offered detailed lesson plans, ideas for how to scaffold the activities onto background knowledge, student assessment reports and tables that showed how each unit aligned with NGSS and state learning standards.

These e-Text supports help students who struggle to improve their science learning. Source: University of Oregon

The control group teachers were asked to teach "as usual," using the curriculum, textbooks, technology and other resources they normally used to teach the same concepts.

According to the researchers, students with learning disabilities in the treatment group improved 18 percentage points on assessments of science knowledge from pre-test to post-test; and English language learners increased 15 percentage points. Learners in the control group who were taught using the traditional methods showed just five points of gain.

"These significant findings demonstrate that the online curriculum was effective in improving science knowledge for students who struggle with science," said Fatima Terrazas Arellanes, principal investigator on the project and a research assistant professor in the College of Education at the University of Oregon, in a prepared statement. "Well designed instructional technology really works to lessen the science literacy gap among diverse groups of learners. Technology offers an engaging and motivating environment for learning, and we are just beginning to understand how we can use it effectively to support students with learning disabilities and English language learners."

Going forward, she noted, the challenge will be for researchers to develop more evidence-based online tools that teachers can use in their classrooms. The outcome could be more struggling students who are among "marginalized and under-represented" groups being drawn into STEM fields. "Due to their unique situations and cultures, English learners and students with learning disabilities offer valuable insights and perspectives that could help address major world problems related to science," the report concluded.

The results are openly available on the International Journal of Science Education website.

Whether you're in need of a little help with a new lesson you're trying to master or simply looking to find out what other teachers are doing around the world, the internet is a wonderful place to turn. So if you're searching for online lesson plans, Edudemic has you covered.

We've been looking into this kinda stuff for literally years upon years and can recommend the following five sources of online lesson plans. Some are free, some aren't, it's worth checking each out (and reading our description of course) to see which fits your needs.
NOTE: click the title of each site below to view the site. Sometimes our links don't seem super obvious.
Probably one of the better known sites, Teachers Pay Teachers is an online marketplace for teachers to buy and sell their lesson plans. More than just plain old resource sharing, the site offers teachers the ability to make a little extra cash selling the lesson plans they put so much hard work into. There are free items as well as items for sale, and the offerings are vast - covering nearly all subjects and grade levels. The site also offers you the ability to request lesson plans for a specific subject or unit if you can't find what you need.

LearnZillion is a site that aggregates lesson plans that focus on common core standards. They're created by a "Dream Team" of teachers (who are actually teachers). The lessons are for both Math and ELA , are free to use, and include videos, slides, notes and commentaries from the teachers who created them to help you get the most out of each lesson.

Thirteen Ed Online is a web service for teachers offered by public television. The site offers original lesson plans created by Thirteen Ed Online's master teachers, and all are focused on web-based activities that use technology, the great resources from public television, and are loosely based upon PBS series and associated web resources. The site is updated monthly.

Better Lesson is another platform that allows users to upload and download resources of their choosing. Many of their offerings are free, though they do offer more advanced curriculum planning (geared towards administrators, department heads, etc) for a fee.

Share My Lesson offers free classroom resources covering a variety of subject matter and grade levels. Many of the activities are geared towards the Common Core Standards, and offers users the ability to rate the resources available for download.

In today's digital learning environment, technology is a valuable tool to complement good instructional strategies. However, students still need to be taught how to use technology effectively and how to be good digital citizens. To better meet these goals, we made the switch two years ago from a 1:1 iPad program to a 1:1 Macbook Air program, a transition that required extensive training and support for our faculty and staff.

​In addition to supporting teachers with their new devices, I help identify their technology needs, suggest resources, and facilitate implementation. When we select technology resources, we're looking for tools that solve particular challenges we are facing. Specifically, we choose ones that support classroom learning, help manage time-consuming tasks, and promote collaboration and transparency. Continue reading on our Editorial Page.

Are you looking for inspiration for an art and craft project? I have been looking into how classroom art projects can be inspired by children's books and would love to share some arts and crafts ideas for kids in your classroom.

Arts and Crafts Ideas for Kids Inspired by Children's Books

We are all so fortunate to live in a time when new, magical children's books hit the shelves daily. Quite frankly, I reckon that we are spoilt for choice! It's worth taking a moment to recognise that the creativity involved in the process of writing and illustrating children's book is astounding. So it makes perfect sense for us to use this source of creative genius to inspire classroom art projects.

A color of His Own
By Leo Lionni
Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink. Only the chameleon has no color of his own. He is purple like the heather, yellow like a lemon, even black and orange striped like a tiger! Then one day a chameleon has an idea to remain one color forever by staying on the greenest leaf he can find.

This picture book carries a touching message about the importance of friendship as well as an explosion of colour that is perfect to inspire a classroom art project. To help you to get started, we have created two new art resources -a Chameleon Art Activity Worksheet and a Chameleon Art Activity Template.

These hot off the press, new teaching resources have been designed to encourage your students to explore colour, texture and pattern. Our Chameleon Art Activity encourages budding artists to seek artistic inspiration from the natural world. After researching the chameleon, your students are required to look closely at the different colours, textures and patterns on a chameleons skin and to draw and colour an example.

Leopard print is so yesterday. Why not use this children's book to inspire an abstract art project? Ask your class to design big and bold repeated patterns for chameleon inspired wallpaper or wrapping paper.

Use our new Colourful Chameleon Template to create a starship of chameleons! Encourage your class to be as creative as they can be and to try a wide range of media.

We tried:

blending pastels to explore colour

creating a collage effect with coloured paper and even

glueing bubble wrap over colour to explore texture.

Journey on a Cloud
By Massenot Veronique

This book tells the story of the postman Zephyr, who lives in a little blue village in the mountains where nothing ever changes. A dreamer hoping for adventures, he travels on a cloud, embarking on a fantastic airborne journey that takes him to distant and colourful lands.

Inspired by Marc Chagall (one of the most popular artists of the twentieth century), this book lends itself to arts and crafts ideas for kids that explore the world of colour and imagination.

Why not use the illustrations of this beautiful book and begin your classroom art project with a colour study? Use our Colour Art Element Poster to teach and learn about primary, secondary, warm and cold colours.

Next, focus on the striking blue colours used in Journey on a Cloud. Download our unique Value Art Element Poster and explore how value describes the lightness and darkness of colours and how we can add white to colour to make a tint, black to a colour to make a shade or use shading to create depth in an object.

Here are some other ideas for a classroom art project inspired by Journey on a Cloud:

1. Ask your students to imagine what it would be like to travel on a cloud to distant and colourful lands. Use a variety of media to create a visual representation of these ideas.

2. Use our Visual Literacy Graphic Organiser, to explore two contrasting illustrations from Journey on a Cloud. Discuss how art makes us feel.

3. Ask your students to research the artist Marc Chagall, (discuss and explore the dream-like feel of the paintings, how they often include realistic and fantastical elements and references to Nursery Rhymes).

4. Make links with the 20th-century avant-garde movement in art, surrealism. Ask your students to keep a dream diary and to create a visual representation of an interesting dream.

5. Ask your class to create their own artwork based on the fantastical world of nursery rhymes.

Where the Wild Things Are
By Maurice Sendak

One night Max puts on his wolf suit and get himself into a little bit of trouble. When his mum calls him a 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bed without his supper things take an adventurous turn. That night a forest begins to grow in Max's room and an ocean rushes by with a boat to take Max to the place where the wild things are...

This well-known children's book has huge potential for classroom art projects. We had way too much fun designing and creating masks.

If you are looking for something a little more open-ended, why not plan an art project based on the jungle setting of this magical children's book?

Don't forget your greens! I have fallen in love with the idea of recreating the setting of a children's book by creating mini story worlds. This example shows how to make a mini jungle with playdough and broccoli!

Your lower years students will love constructing this lovable snake and develop their fine motor skills too!

Why not bring the tranquil sound of rain into your classroom by making these beautiful jungle rain sticks. These were made by using cardboard tubes, sticky tape, glue, glue dots and lots of different things for decoration - including patterned card, foam, felt, pipe cleaners and feathers.

The extraordinary beauty of the solar system creates so much opportunity for arts and craft ideas for kids in your classroom. Encourage your students to develop and apply art techniques by asking them to create a stunning visual representation of the planets by using pastels or chalk. Encourage your students to focus on colour and the basics of art, like shading a sphere.

Students pick a planet to illustrate and use chalk to create the colours and shading. Imagine how amazing this is going to look as your next classroom display!

Former first lady Michelle Obama has launched an international program that aims to support groups and community leaders who work to educate girls around the world, she announced on Thursday morning.

The Global Girls Alliance is a collective of smaller, grassroots organizations working to get girls in school and get them educated, officials said. In her role, Obama will work through the Obama Foundation to highlight those groups, promote their work and steer donors their way.

"When you educate a girl, you educate a family, a community, a country," she said during an interview on the "Today" show, where she announced the initiative, she added.

According to the foundation, the alliance has 1,400 members. And while there is no overall fundraising amount, some of the organizations have individual goals, which are outlined on a GoFundMe page.

"We want to lift up the grassroots leaders in communities all over the world who are clearing away the hurdles that too many girls face," Obama said in a statement. "Because the evidence is clear: educating girls isn't just good for the girls, it's good for all of us."

The announcement signals how Obama will use her influence as a former first lady now that she has been out of the White House for more than a year.

It is the first program Obama has launched through the foundation, which is based in the South Side community where she worked and lived. In addition to its programming, the foundation is responsible for constructing the Obama Presidential Center.

During her visits to Chicago, Obama has spoken about her vision for the center and said that it would bring public art to a community with struggling neighborhoods that need it. But aside from her visits, where she often makes time to sit and talk with high school students, Obama has been mostly quiet since the family left the White House.

Obama grew up in the South Side's South Shore neighborhood and touts her Chicago upbringing in nearly every public speech. She was once the primary breadwinner for her family. Yet, her law career was placed on hold when her husband became president and she focused instead on programs promoting girls and healthy children. As first lady, she charmed and delighted the public in speeches, interviews and appearances.

After the family left the White House, she said she was looking forward to returning to a normal life.

But last month, Obama announced that she finished writing her memoir and would kick off her grand-scale book tour here in Chicago at the United Center.

Shortly after the book tour announcement, Obama jumped into a national effort to get residents registered to vote.

On Thursday, she said she was turning some of her attention toward elevating programs that work to educate girls because there are 98 million young girls that are not in school. In many countries, younger girls get diverted from their education because of work, motherhood and family obligations. In other regions, education is prohibited and opportunities limited.

Still, studies show that girls who are educated earn more, are better able to support their families and tend to be healthier and more engaged. Although Obama's initiative is new, the programs it spotlights are not, like the Campaign for Female Education, or CAMFED, which has offices in the United Kingdom and United States and throughout Africa; Rise Up, which is based in California; and the Study Hall Educational Foundation in India.

Also in the interview on "Today," Obama was asked about a disarming moment during the funeral for Senator John McCain, when former President George W. Bush, sitting next to her, discretely passed her a cough drop.

"President Bush and I, we are forever seatmates because of protocol. That's how we sit at all official functions," she said.

"It was a simple gesture," she added, one that showed a moment of bipartisanship. "That's what people are hungry for."
