Mr. McCall's team of students participated in producing a 5 minute iMovie which included all original footage including an interview at Washington on the Brazos with Tom Scaggs and satellite imagary of Texas. The 5 Minute video was presented to the conference call including students from all over Texas.
A Revolutionary Tic-Tac-Toe (GT-2005)
During the Unit on the Texas Revolution, students in the Gifted and Talented program will create a living history project on the Texas Revolution. Utilizing the technology available to each student at SFA the students will create a Music Video, PodCast, and Wikki Web Page on selective battles of the Texas Revolution. These projects should be completed by Winterbreak 2005.
Integrating Moodle in Everyday Lessons
A continual project during the 2005-2006 school year is to leverage the very powerful Moodle LMS (Learning Management System) to integrate remedial, advanced, and community lesson plans into the daily learning in Texas History. Access to a public version of the Moodle that we is used internally will be provided by December 2005.
