Basic Clickers Workshop ~ March 24, 2010 ~ 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. ~ ESU 10 ~ Kearney
One of the hottest items in instructional technology is the use of “clickers” or audience response systems. Students use remotes to answer questions before, during, and after a lesson thereby allowing teachers to get instant feedback about student understanding. Dustin Frank will lead a workshop for eInstruction clickers using the Classroom Performance System (CPS). If you are using eInstruction clickers or want to learn more about what they can do, this workshop is for you! To register go to https://odie.esu10.org/

Have you made reservations for your class to come see and learn about an event that happens nowhere else in the world except here in central Nebraska? I’m talking about the gathering of over 500,000 sandhill cranes. People from around the globe come to see this phenomenon and your class should not miss out.
C.S.I. (Crane Scene Investigation) program is approximately two hours long and is designed with your students in mind. It is only available from the first of March through the first of April when the cranes are here on the Platte River. Dates and times are filling fast, so make your reservations soon! Cost is $3.00 per student
Crane Cam will go live the weekend of March 6th and is again being hosted by ESU 10. THANKS ESU 10!
For downloadable educational videos about sandhill cranes, be sure to check out CRANE CENTRAL on our website. Go to www.rowesanctuary.org The DVD is also available in our Nature Store.
NEW THIS YEAR!
Are you looking for a book with just enough good facts and trivia to spark in the novice crane-watcher an appreciation of these fascinating birds and at the same time a book that gives those long time watchers more insight into the behaviors they were seeing? Well, we have the book for you. It is called The Private Lives of Sandhill Cranes. This easy-to-read resource is full of wonderful illustrations and maps and is on sale here at Rowe for $10.00.
For more information, just give me a call. I look forward to working with you and your class.

Here are a few web sites that I thought you would like.
This last link is a video from a student demonstrating how her 7th grade science class is being run. This looked like a very engaging science class!

Just saw this site and it is a great way of showing cell size compared to other things such as coffee beans, rice, amoebas, and carbon atoms! Check it out! What do you use to help students visualize these things?
