"STEM Star offers educators an alternative...1. "STEM Star offers educators an alternative to technology testing that focuses on rote memorization and testing out-of-context skills. There is a persistent myth that only paper or computer-based multiple choice assessments can produce valid quantitative data. However, there is abundant research showing that assessing authentic projects is a better indicator of actual student proficiency than standardized, one-size-fits-all tests." <br />STEM STAR (Students and Teachers Achieving Reform) seems like an excellent program for schools. By using this, it assesses a student's learning, not by paper tests, but project based. I personally think this is the best approach in an overall learning environment. <br /><br />2. The CTE and CTSO are basically a club for genyes students. CTE means Career Technology Education and is basically just one part of what genyes as a class is. CTSO is Career and Technology Student Organization, which is a club for genyes students at Shadow. You can participate is school-wide projects and go on business trips with Ms. K by presenting to big companies like we've done in the past. Although I'm not a part of CTSO, I do think it is a great program.<br /><br />3. By getting college credits within genyes, you can attain multiple goals. The earned credits you get equate to ones that you would have had to pay for/take before. Say, if I did all four years of genyes with dual enrollment, I could graduate college in two years. These college credits are very beneficial to families with lower income because it allows their child to get through college at almost half the price and time. <br /><br />4. I've heard that we are starting a big project within the next few weeks that consists of animation, coding, photoshop, etc etc. I've very excited for that and hope to work with an animation program. Two years ago I did my project on photoshop and I also got to use a little bit of Blender. These programs peaked my interest in using computer tech to enhance art. My goal this year is to really accomplish something good using animation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-56311157175665071052015-09-25T11:21:23.637-07:002015-09-25T11:21:23.637-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-69609931013248326032015-09-25T11:15:46.777-07:002015-09-25T11:15:46.777-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-54268449979717028792015-09-22T14:34:00.912-07:002015-09-22T14:34:00.912-07:001.”All Generation YES programs involve students de...1.”All Generation YES programs involve students designing, constructing, and assessing projects aligned to student and teacher learning.” This comment caught my attention because i’ve never been part of a class that has such flexible lesson plans and projects that the students can introduce and be supported by the teacher.<br />2.to be honest I haven’t gathered a complete understanding of all of the activities that take place in cte. Other than the fact that one can gain extra college credits.<br />3.the benefits of taking genyes for college credits is that you can get into college easier and with a good recommendation from your teachers.<br />4.My first impression of this class is that it is very inclusive and informative to all students that enroll.

They want the students to continue their learning in instructional design to support teachers in the future, so I have a direction for next year.”<br />OWN WORDS: I think the GenYes program is really helpful! I mean she did teach her 3rd graders to help people out. Just imagine those little guys and gals running around teacher elders on how to fix or do something based on technology. I just think its pretty freaking great and awesome.<br />2.What I have heard about CTE is very little.. All I really know is the name but not much about it.. But CTSO is the GenYes program meetings. Those meetings plan the things we will do in the future. Like we did the business this year and we sometimes plan the Lan Partys.<br />3.Think of it as this; You go to High School and attend this awesome course and while having some “fun” you can gain lots of college credits while sitting in high school. Yes I would highly recommend this if you’re planning to go to a collage. Very great choice plus you get a shorter collage time because of the credits you’ve earned at high school.<br />4. What I think about the class is very educational and super fun! I am hoping to learn more about photoshop this year cause I really want to get into photoshop. I am also hoping to learn about technology itself more. I just really like learning about this kind of stuff. It just really catches my eye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-10204317495491604972015-09-02T18:37:14.193-07:002015-09-02T18:37:14.193-07:001.

A few of the kids are already certified… For a split second there I was almost annoyed at being bored and having shockingly little to do. Then I realized that I have nothing to do because the kids are all working, focused, and helping each other! What a wonderful reason to be bored!" I find this very true with the GenYes program all around.<br /><br />2. CTSO has meetings, competitions, Lan parties, and so much more with it all being optional to you. Participate in what you want and not in what you don't want.<br /><br />3. The benefit of taking Genyes for collage credits is that you already have just about a year finished for collage, meaning less money to spend for tuition.<br /><br />4.

Students feel valued and empowered.” I quite like this comment because it shows that the students are starting to become more trusted with helping around schools all over, which has essentially been the objective, and it is a better idea in general for many reasons.<br />2.) The CTE is one of the main things that GenYES is a part of, and it has several other classes that involve tech under it. The CTSO is the group of students in GenYES that do a variety of things, which include trips, the business, contests, among other things.<br />3.) The main benefits to taking the Dual Enrollment would be that it is significantly less than paying for an actual college class, perhaps about a 3rd or so of the price. That would really depend on if I was to take it or not, I would like to take it for the college credits, however I’m not too sure if I would be able to yet.<br />4.) I would say I enjoyed the first impression of this year, I always like to see all the faces that come into the class, both new and old, and learn about the new people in the class, in general it’s just a lot of fun going through this phase because you can’t really know what to expect from people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-49686144646383296802015-08-24T17:47:24.561-07:002015-08-24T17:47:24.561-07:001.

Having children teach the teachers how to use their technology correctly and help them whenever needed is great. Most children know very well how to use technology and teach people about it, since it is such a huge part of our daily lives. Many teachers are computer-illiterate because they didn't grow up around them, but we did.<br /><br /> 2. I understand that the CTE and CTSO make a lot of decisions about where our funding goes towards, what we do during the year, and how we will do things better than previous years.<br /><br /> 3. I think the benefits of getting GenYES college credits are huge. Many universities will want to accept kids that already have credit, because they can see what they have done and can do, and see their potential. Also, from getting college credits, you could get a degree faster, because you already have those credits in the bag. I plan to get college credit from doing GenYES.<br /><br /> 4. My first impressions of this class are that it will be hard, but also fun, because of all the projects we get to do. I hope to accomplish learning about different kinds of technology that I have never used before, or that I never got very far into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-6622424495253117252015-08-17T12:29:09.115-07:002015-08-17T12:29:09.115-07:001."A major component of GenYes is providing m...1."A major component of GenYes is providing much-needed technology infrastructure support for teachers.I think its great that someone made a program to help teachers.It is a great program for all ages to get involved in.<br /><br />2."CTE is a Genyes support group,and CTSO is a Genyes discussion group.<br /><br />3."Getting college credits is a big thing because people who have a college scholarship usually get paid more.I think i will take Genyes for college because I love technology. <br /><br />4."My first impressions are i love this class,and what i hope to accomplish is to learn how to use technology better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-12339358135770110362015-08-17T12:18:16.540-07:002015-08-17T12:18:16.540-07:00"accomplish smartness""accomplish smartness"<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123329717980057951.post-11984975304029296912015-08-17T00:14:23.547-07:002015-08-17T00:14:23.547-07:001.
