We look at the needs of different schools and choose a school to focus all our resources on for one fun, intensive day of learning. Today we went to Adams Elementary to help the 4th graders with measurement. I worked with <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/wright\/\">Ms. Wright<\/a>, another ITRT, to help students create measurement websites using <a href=\"http:\/\/checkthis.com\">CheckThis<\/a>.  We brought a collection of interesting items including a Samurai Jack action figure, a boxing glove, a geode, a blowfish, a piranha, a bottle of Wonder Woman nail polish, a back scratcher, and a treasure chest from Paraguay. Each student in our group chose an item to weigh, and they used a balance to measure the mass of the item.  Then they headed over to CheckThis to make their website. Within CheckThis the students were able to take a picture of themselves holding their item.  Below that they created a poll asking the weight of their item.  At the bottom of each website the students took a second picture of themselves holding a piece of paper with the correct answer.  Ms. Wright and I added all their websites to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/10fYbHbksl6mHxD_Iv0XMieBTdL1hsy3YP-3qpZtlwGY\/pub\">one page<\/a> so the students could view each others&#8217; websites and answer the questions. You can see all the other projects from the Tech Takeout day at Adams Elementary <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.henrico.k12.va.us\/jpcovais\/2015\/02\/02\/techtakeout-invades-adams-elementary\/\">here<\/a>.  <strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Later, in March, we did a similar project at Baker Elementary.  Check out the measurement websites they made <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/henrico.k12.va.us\/document\/d\/1X_N0yxdxtLzVdc4oCdZFEI39xOH3iWzraZ_Rr3fbgSo\/pub\">here<\/a>.  We did the answer part differently by making a link  to a Google doc instead of having the answer right on the website. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year all the elementary ITRTs have been working on a special project called Tech Takeout.
