Bi-Monthly Reflections

Individual Learning Endeavors

9/4/2015

    This Helpdesk program at Northgate is based on the Barrington Helpdesk program in Massachusetts. At the Barrington school, they have had a lot of success, and here we want to mimic and improve their methods. One of the most important parts of Helpdesk is the ILE (Individual Learning Endeavor). All of us (the students in this class) will pursue something that we are interested in, plan it out effectively, and hopefully accomplish it spectacularly.
     To plan out our ILE, we make S.M.A.R.T. goals:

Mr. Tobin even gave us a few examples to inspire us: 
1. Help a teacher get their GAFE credential.
2. Plan and carry out a school clean-up day
3. Build a timing booth for the school's track team
4. Create a movie about free things to do in the area to post to YouTube 
5.  Raise money for Northgate High school
6.  Make and send care packages to the troops overseas
7. Build an APP
8. Learn how to Code in different languages (see the codecrawl tab).
9. Build a Northgate Teacher's website.
10. Technologies that can be used in a subject specific classroom
11. Learn how to cook meals with and for your parents (choose one night a week).
12. Create a movie by writing a script, filming, and editing.
13. Build a tutorial website for Special Ed.
13. Create and print 3D objects for educational use in Science, Math etc

The planning process includes:

     Each week, we complete weekly reflections to track our progress. At larger intervals, we will plan out the implementation and pitching as shown above. I am looking forward to working on my own project, and I think that it will give me a chance to contribute to the progress of each student at Northgate High School.

    I am a senior at Northgate High School, and this is my blog as part of the Northgate Helpdesk Program. I like to write code and short stories.
