Forums
A GREAT Way to Get Your Students to LOVE Reading and
Writing!
Research
indicates that parents strongly desire for their children
to learn 21st Century skills in school. We are
fortunate to have many 21st Century vehicles available to
us in Fayette County Public Schools. Of those, one
of the most valuable educational tools is the "Forums."
Forums
have become a mainstay in many college classes.
Businesses and interest groups also use Forums to keep
members informed. In our school district, forums are
heavily used in intermediate and above classrooms, as well
as for teachers and new teachers. I ONLY recommend
Forums for students who have had keyboarding.
There
are lots of great ways to use Forums with the Curriculum
Map, and in any and all subject areas. Every day it
seems like teachers are finding more new and exciting ways
to use this medium.
How
May I Help You?
I
can help work with your STC and Central Office to set up a
Forum for your class. I can also teach your students
how to use the Forums. Additionally, I can provide
you with tons of ideas and activities to combine your
forum with any content from the curriculum map or
any content areas.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day!
Education's
purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Did
You Know?
The
problems we experienced last week with worms and viruses
DIDN'T NEED TO HAPPEN in FCPS! Our district
computers are armed with superior anti-virus
software.
As there are continuously new versions of worms and
viruses, ALL protective software MUST be up-dated to
work against the newest versions. The software
used on most home and office computers requires the user
to manually or regularly update the virus/worm
information. F.C.P.S. has invested in a powerful
anti-virus software that updates every time you turn on
or reboot the computer. But, and this is
important, you only receive these up-dates
when you turn your computer on. If for some reason you
left your computer on for a week, you would not
receive any updates during that time. Your School
Technology Coordinator (STC) probably has policies and
recommendations regarding how often to shut down your
computers. Generally speaking, you need to restart
your computer daily, or at a minimum a few times each
week.
