WHAT'S HAPPENING @ O.I.T. |
| Professional Development: Digital Documentaries |
| Teachers and students spent their spring break together learning in Manhattan as part of the Title IID Grants in CSD 1 and CSD 5. Marco Torres [San Fernando, CA.Teacher, Photographer & Apple Educator of the Year] and his assistant Rosa, spent three full days, with teachers and students, sharing their expertise and knowledge while developing teacher's and student's skills needed to produce digital documentaries in the curriculum classroom. |
Pilot Program for Students: Tabula Digita |
Power in numbers! Tabula Digita engages students in the instruction and learning of mathematics. Pre-algebra and algebra objectives are covered through a series of missions that bring math into a world that today's students understand. Students become so captivated in solving problems that they forget they're learning but they don't forget what they've learned. Pilot schools will be selected in every borough. We look forward to sharing all the success stories! |
