Blended Bulletin Boards

With more focus on bulletin boards and the display of meaningful student work I wanted to pass on a few recommendations that will allow you to show that you are integrating technology into your classroom and allow you to make your boards more interactive.

·         Add a QR Code

o   You can add a Quick Response (QR) code to any document, video, presentation; really anything that has a weblink.

§  Create a weblink for documents with Google Docs. Upload the document or presentation and “share” it to the public. You’ll get a link. Copy It.

§  Go to http://qrcode.kaywa.com/  and enter the link. It will generate a code for you.

§  Copy it to a word document. Print and post it!

Family Resume Writing Workshop

Grant Writing 101

Missed the workshop? Never fear, the notes are below.

Notes:

·         Basic Steps

o   Keep synopsis short and avoid overly complicated jargon

o   Start small. Larger grants require more time investment and materials (board approval, etc.)

o   Read requirements carefully. Don’t get disqualified because of information you don’t have or can’t get.

o   Brand your program with a catchy name. People like to get on a fun bandwagon.

o   Develop your program. Don’t ask for stuff. Ask for help to implement an idea that just so happens to need stuff.

o   Provide measurable goals and objectives. How will this impact your population? What kind of recognition should the grantors expect?

§  Utilize student or community surveys

§  Add a social media component
