Getting Back on Track

Between all of the end-of-marking-period "stuff" and student-led conferences, I have strayed away from the Smart Slate for a couple of weeks.  Now, though, I'm ready to get back on track and utilize the Slate  a little more in my Science classes (I had been using it mostly in Math).  I've been working on the intro to microscopes portion of my science tools unit, and am in the process of collecting all my documents and web site links into one Smart Slate lesson.  I think that having all the resources linked together in this way will make my lessons flow more smoothly, and it will be easier to refer to previously learned info.  I hope to have a page with a diagram of a microscope, and use pull tabs for identifying the main parts.  Also, I'd like to try to convert and embed a video into the lesson.  I'm thinking that Tuesday's "deer day" will be a good chance to play around with these parts, as they're bound to take a little more time and attention that the parts I have finished so far.
