Here are some examples of student projects around LEED certification.
Estos son algunos ejemplos de proyectos de estudiantes alrededor certificación LEED .
Accoring to the U.S. Green Building Council, "LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is changing the way we think about how buildings and communities are planned, constructed, maintained and operated. Leaders around the world have made LEED the most widely used third-party verification for green buildings, with around 1.85 million square feet being certified daily."
Before break, students began researching the LEED specific "green" aspects/features of our new school building in order to educate not only themselves, but the community about GHS.
Later this year we will place student research projects around the building for community members to explore and enjoy.

I have made a minor change to the blog. Instead of tab labeled "Zaptions" I have changed it to say "Review Materials". Not only will you find the short zaption videos with embedded questions, but there are also links to power point presentations and other videos.
I am also trying out a new weekly homework assignment called "Spiral Homework". I've been doing some reading on what makes learning successful, and one strategy recommends combining new material with old material. The process of working to recall information helps it stick. So by spacing out practice and weaving together old and new I'm hoping we will make these ideas and concepts stick.
