Thank you for your support of my business, I truly appreciate it!!

This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.

Thank you for your support of my business, I truly appreciate it!!

I use this as an introduction activity for my middle school A/V Broadcasting class. I present a really quick overview of film and then they pick a topic with a partner. We take 2-3 days to research and build our presentations and then we take 2-3 days to present our findings. It's a quick introduction to the different periods of film, plus it allows me to see/hear all of my students before we start making videos.

I've included my rubric, which can be easily added into your LMS platform.

Thank you for your interest in my product!

From working with my own students, I realized many were unable to identify key form vocabulary such as (gender, county, & social security number). Many were also unable to accurately plug in their personal information or copy provided information onto a form often mixing up key information such as cities & counties or phone number & social security numbers.

This product will help your students to become more independent, confident and successful out in the community.

Unit 1 & 2 can be found below:

It is important for students to develop strong work and life skills, as these skills are essential for success in their personal and professional lives. By mastering these skills, students can become more self-sufficient and confident in their ability to manage their lives and achieve their goals. Providing a comprehensive set of resources can help students with different learning styles and abilities to engage with these concepts and develop a stronger foundation for their future success in working and living independently. The variety of products in this Life and Work Skills Bundle include Google Slides, Task Cards, Worksheets, and Boom Cards which can provide different ways for students to engage with and reinforce these skills.

In a pre-vocational or supported employment program, teaching work and life skills can provide students with hands-on experience and opportunities to practice these key skills. This type of practical training can help students gain confidence and build a strong foundation for future employment.

Incorporating work and life skills into an individualized education plan (IEP) can also help ensure that students receive the support they need to achieve their goals. This targeted instruction by incorporating work and life skills into pre-vocational/supported employment programs and IEPs is a valuable way to support student success and prepare them for the future.

This SUPER bundle centers around understanding On-The-Job/Home tools, Filling Orders, and Basic Work Skills.

✤ To Print Task Cards: The Task Cards, as downloaded, are 1/2 page which are great for students that need a larger size. To print 4x6 index card sized task cards, select "2 pages per sheet". To print 3x5 index card sized task cards, select "4 pages per sheet". These are not designed to print directly to index card template paper. What has worked best for my students was to print to on heavy duty card stock and laminate.

Included in this Bundle are access to Boom Cards that match the Google Slides Activity.

Note: To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge).

This project lets students learn about the physics and math behind geodesic domes as they research and create one with their team. After introducing the lesson with a short video (link included in resources), students work with their team to design and build a geodesic dome. First, students create the model using Sketchup (free downloadable CAD software available at: http://www.sketchup.com/download?sketchup=make). Then, using their design, they build the structure to scale with their team. Next, students present their project to the class and explain their design choices. Finally, students reflect on and summarize their learning with short answers to questions about the experience and what they learned.

This lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade, but could also be used successfully in upper elementary grades or high school as well.

Files included:

• Teacher & Student Resources

• Student Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric for Sketchup CAD drawing

• Student Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric for building project

• Team Sign Up Sheet

• Reflection Questions
