Artsonia- Student World WIde Art Gallery
This presentation will center around the World-Wide, On-Line Student Art Gallery, Artsonia.
Through this website the students are showcasing their creativity with family, friends and students from around the world. Every student has their own personal gallery and they want to share with you!
They are working on communication skills by writing "artist statements" and commenting on other student's artwork.
Through this technology the student are able to view art work from most all countries of the world.
Parents and friends are able to view the artwork, become fan club members, and comment on the artwork. Family members become more involved with what their young artists are creating and doing in their art classes.
Last year was Noble Crossing's first year to participate on Artsonia. Noble Crossing was ranking #7 in the state from all participating elementary schools in Indiana. What I am most proud of is that Noble Crossing ranked very high in the writing of artist's statements. As their teacher I saw the students transfer their knowledge of art when writing about their artwork. They continually used art vocabulary learned in the classroom.

Kinders creating eBooks
Ever heard of the Gingerbread Man? Did you know that one time the G-Man was eaten by a T-Rex? This may not seem like a typical plot for the lovable story we all know, but when Kindergarten students are allowed to create their own stories, the possibilities are endless. Students used their previous knowledge of key features in a story (character, setting, and plot) to create their own story for the 21st century. Using the eBook Creator app on the iPad, students created stories that they could share with classmates, family, and friends. While leaving the paper, pencils, and staples behind, students are planning, writing, and publishing stories for all to HEAR and SEE.

Language Learning
Acquiring a second language takes a long time. Or does it? Can you walk out of a 20 minute session and speak a second langauge - at least a little bit? The answer is YES!
This system of language teaching is simple: expose students to components of the language in a way that makes sense, and then use storytelling to frequently reuse and recycle the language in numerous contexts until students get the meaning, not just the definition of the vocabulary.
Bonus of this session: You will be able to speak a little bit of German when you leave!

Meet the Authors
The 7th grade language arts students at NWMS and 3rd graders at HDE were brought together using the Zoom application on the iPads for an amazing 40-minute, interactive learning session.
Each 7th grader is required to create an illustrated myth as part of the quarter assessment. This year the 7th grade teachers wanted to give the students an authentic audience.
Using grant monies from the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation, each student received a blank soft cover book to "publish" his/her myth. On the day of the project, groups of 7th graders remotely connected with a group of 3rd graders using district iPads. The myths were read aloud and then a guided discussion took place that was facilitated by the 7th graders.
This project allowed interaction between buildings, a connection with other students in the Noblesville community, and an authentic approach to a required assessment that "redefined" its outcome.

Online Decision-Making Simulations
7th and 8th grade students will be demonstrating the power of online simulations. The 7th grade simulation takes place in Haiti where students are given a family of five and attempt to raise the standard of living over the course of 4 years. This simulation does an excellent job of allowing students to explore the difficulties of life in a low standard of living country.
The 8th grade simulations, mission-us.org, allow students to experience three different time periods--the Boston Massacre of 1770, the Underground Railroad as a slave in Kentucky during 1848, and life as a Cheyenne Native American trying to rebuild life in a new place after the government forced them from their homelands.
In each of the above simulations, students are forced to think critically about what the best decisions will be for themselves and those they care for. Students are able to have an authentic experience of what history may have looked like for kids their age in the time periods above.
