Education Spotlight |
EACH THURSDAY PRESTIGE VISION 4 HIGHLIGHTS AN EDUCATOR WHO REPRESENTS THE BEST THAT FORSYTH COUNTY SCHOOLS HAVE TO OFFER. REPORTER KATHLEEN MCDOUGALD IS IN OUR NEWS ROOM TO TELL US WHICH TEACHER IS IN THIS WEEK'S EDUCATION SPOTLIGHT. THANKS BRENDA. WE GOT AN E-MAIL FROM DANA HUNLEY'S CLASS AT BIG CREEK ELEMENTARY, TELLING US ABOUT THEIR WEB SITE. SO OF COURSE WE HAD TO CHECK THAT OUT. TODAY, THE CLASS WAS WORKING ON STORIES TO ADD TO THE SITE. DANA HUNLEY'S THIRD GRADERS ARE WRITING ST. PATRICK'S DAY STORIES. | |
| WHEN THEY'RE FINISHED, THEY'LL DO MORE THAN PUT THEM ON THE BULLETIN BOARD. THEY'LL ADD THEM TO THEIR CLASS WEB SITE. THAT VOICE BELONGS TO MINGIE KIM. SHE TAPE RECORDED THE GREETING FOR THE WEB SITE. DREW WEILLER'S MOM HAS HELPED THEM CONSTRUCT THIS SITE. THEIR ST. PATRICK'S DAY PAGE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. BUT ALL IT REALLY NEEDS IS TODAY'S STORIES. THEY ALSO HAVE A CALENDAR OF EVENTS, CLASS PICTURES, AND A POST CARD PAGE. DREW WEILLER SAYS PEOPLE SEND THEM POST CARDS WHEN THEY GO OUT OF TOWN, AND THEN THE CLASS CIRCLES THE LOCATION ON THEIR MAP. BUT EVERYONE SAID THEIR FAVORITE IS THE BLUE STAR BUBBLES PAGE. A PAGE DEVOTED TO THEIR CLASS PET... A BETA FISH. ASHLEY UPCHURCH SAYS THEY TAKE THE FISH HOME ON THE WEEKENDS. ASHLEY'S STORY ABOUT BLUE STAR BUBBLES IS ON THE PAGE RIGHT NOW. THE WEB PAGE IDEA STARTED AS A WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED ABOUT THE CLASS. DANA HUNLEY SAYS A PARENT HAD THE IDEA SO THAT GRANDPARENTS IN OTHER STATES COULD KEEP UP WITH THE CLASS. HUNLEY SAYS IT'S ALSO HELPFUL FOR NEW STUDENTS. THEY CAN SEE THE CLASS AND READ ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING. THANKS TO HELPFUL PARENTS, MS. HUNLEY IS LEADING HER CLASS INTO THE INFORMATION AGE. THE WEB SITE REALLY IS AMAZING...IT'S HARD TO DO IT JUSTICE ON T.V. IF YOU'D LIKE TO VISIT THEIR SITE, THE ADDRESS IS www.mindspring.com/~hunley/class.htm TAKE A LOOK. EDUCATION SPOTLIGHT IS A REGULAR THURSDAY FEATURE ON PRESTIGE VISION 4. IF YOU KNOW A TEACHER YOU WOULD LIKE US TO HIGHLIGHT, FAX US AT 770-844- 5894 OR EMAIL US AT NEWS 4 SYTH AT PRESTIGE DOT NET. | ||
