0These are index cards with names of things that have happen in the last 13.4 billion yrs. What we had to do was put all the cards in order from the big bang to the present day. We got split up into groups for this lesson. Every group got like 20 cards and we would put those cards in order.

ADH5-graphsI notice that the graphs for story b all look like a lightning bolt because it has a stop in it. I notice that in story c all the graphs have a curve in them because they all go up by different number each time. I notice in story a all of the graphs have two stops in them because in the story you are supposed to stop two times. I also notice that all the graphs look different. Finnally I notice that they all go up by different numbers.

Homework Planner Idea

I personally think that it should be an app and everyone in 5th grade gets an iphone. Also I think that there should be a digital one on the computer. The app should have a place for the homework and when it is due and also what subject it is. It should also say what teacher assigned it so you can email them if you are having a problem you can email them.

 

Welcome to your digital portfolio!

Welcome to your brand new digital portfolio/blog at blogs.lrei.org!

Your portfolio can be used for many things through out your middle and high school years, including:

  • Documenting and reflecting on your learning, passions, and interests, both in and out of school
  • Curating and highlight work for your Family Conferences
  • In some instances, your teachers will ask you to submit, reflect and comment on work in this portfolio

It is our hope that you also seek to make this a personally relevant learning space in which you curate work that is important and meaningful to you. As you build this learning space, we also hope that you will use it as a way to connect with other learners in the LREI community and beyond.

Your LREI account (Mail, Docs/Drive) credentials will automatically get you into your blog. Here are a few things you’ll want to take a look at:

1. Change the name of your blog. To do this, go back to the Dashboard and click on the “Home” symbol, then on “MS Digital Portfolio Template” under “This Blog.”

Blog

In the field for “Site Title,” add a new title. You can use your first name if you want (e.g., “Mark’s Digital Portfolio”), but don’t use your first and last name. You can also create a title that doesn’t have your name in it. Be as creative as you want, but keep in mind that the title should relate to the purpose of the portfolio.

After you’ve added a new title, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

 

2. Add a Post

For the most part, you’ll be adding items to your blog as posts. To add a new post, you can click on the +New button in the top bar of your blog, and then select “Post.”

You’ll want to give each post a title, and assign it to a Category. These categories are broken down by class and grade (e.g., fifth grade, core, etc.). This will allow you to organize and sort information so that you can control the look and feel of your blog. If you take a look at the menu bar under the blog title, you see the different groups of categories (e.g., class, grade, teacher, etc.).

When you’re done with your post you can click “Publish” on the side to make the post appear on your blog
