ASK Programs and Bluebonnet Feedback

Bluebonnet Conference

Pam Hamilton reported from Hillsboro and Melinda from Troy

• Like being more flexible about scheduling (hard to get in skit, Moodle, and planning the book)
• Takes so long to read the book outloud in class.
• Suggestion: divide labor among different teacher to create project
• Technical difficulties: Freeze framing, don't see the actions, don't see movement (probably bandwidth)
• Note: How to get the book read and get moodling? (need to ask teachers with longer books)

• Read the book in class and finished it before Moodling, the Baylor students did a good job.

ASK Programs (Twisters/Monkey Island)

Feedback from Jim @ Rosebud-Lott and Pam Hamilton @ Hillsboro

• Monkey Island-the students were so engaged and the high-level of questions. Integrated the activities at school with the food drive.
• Teacher thought it was great to use the ASK process with the journal
• Students absolutely LOVED this book. It was great to connect to experts who can share.
• Can do this differently: Need to match book with grade level.
