Rossford Schools is pleased to announce their participation in the
Teacher Planning Grant from eTech for the 2011-12 school year.
The grant project is called Technology Education for Student Success (or TESS)
and is a $100,000 grant from eTech.
In partnership with BGSU, Miller City Schools and Fort Meigs Elementary in Perrysburg, a group of Rossford High School teachers will participate in high-quality professional development throughout 2011-12 focused on 21st century teaching and learning, including the integration of educational technologies to plan and support teaching and learning. In particular, RHS teachers will learn how to effectively integrate a student response system to aide in classroom assessments, discussions, and overall learning as well as learn about a variety of other teaching strategies and technology tools or resources to ultimately improve student learning.
Resources for TESS Teacher Participants

- Use grade export (to Excel) for getting grades... (Response menu >> Export Results to >> Excel) OR use the (Response menu >> Print >> Results) for a detailed listing for each student. Either of these results can then be entered into PowerTeacher/your gradebook (So... you don't have to use Teacher Tools grade book to export the grades... unless you like this process!)

- Students Sign in on remotes (or use Anonymous mode)
- Pick an Instant Question (with or without an image from gallery) - US map example

- If you want the assessment graded with % and total scores, use a Title Page, then add your question slides (grades show in Teacher Tools and/or can be exported into Excel spreadsheet)
- If already have all the questions (say in a Word document or PDF), you can just make an Answer Key (go to Response menu >> Create Answer Key) Here's the video (4:02)
- Self-Paced SMART Response Assessment (quiz/test) - students take it at desk w/ printed questions (like a "regular" quiz/test) (go to Response menu >> Print >> Questions) Here's the video (2:07)
