Brooklyn Nets forward, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, talks to a student about how he uses math to make quick decisions throughout the game as well as calculate statistics during and after the game.

This website is designed to let students see historical sites in their past/present day modes. It also gives examples of art movements. There are stagnant and live 3-D models. I would use this as a work on creative and descriptive writing based on visual stimulus.]]> 2018-02-01 19:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/y086g6pizcrd/wish/227224033 Metropolitan Museum of Art Gallery clara_heinicke https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/y086g6pizcrd/wish/227224076 I would let high school art students explore this website.

Along with that, it will provide insight to a place where most of them probably wouldn't ever have a chance to visit.]]> 2018-02-01 19:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/y086g6pizcrd/wish/227224147 ZOO - Wildlife; Early Childhood (Preschool) justine_hansen https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/y086g6pizcrd/wish/227224162 I think it would be age appropriate for Preschool to take a virtual field trip to a Zoo. Since we are fortunate to live near the Omaha Zoo, we could take a field trip there and do virtual field trips to different zoo’s around the country. All of these zoo’s would have a different purpose. So one week we could learn all about Panda’s. Then take a virtual field trip to San Diego. The next week we could learn all about Penguins and then go on a virtual field trip to the aquarium at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Etc. Lastly, we can do a real field trip to the Omaha Zoo. The necessary technology I think could be google hangout. Or even FaceTime. We are very fortunate to have good technology and could hook it up to the projector. Books:
About animals from A to Z, using books such as Jerry Pallota’s The Furry Animal Alphabet Book and R. M. Smith’s An A to Z Walk in the Park: Animal Alphabet Book.

It could be a "treasure hunt" where I the teacher give them destinations, or I may send them off to discover things for themselves and write about and/or discuss them.
