The 2014 EE Iditarod Team's Goals
1. Student engagement. When students are curious about something, they learn more and what they learn, they learn more deeply. Multiple facets of the Iditarod spark student curiously: Alaskan history, Iditarod history and culture, the care and feeding of the dogs, and the motivation of the mushers to undertake this incredible journey to name a few.
2. Local and global connections. One of the State Technology Standards for Grades K-5 requires that the student collaborates and communicates both locally and globally using digital tools and resources to reinforce and promote learning. We hope to meet this standard for our students by using media sharing sites to upload videos recorded by our Iditarod teachers and by communicating with classrooms via Skype.
3. Cross curricular, TEKS based components. There are a multitude of curriculum resources available. We are accumulating these on this website on the Resources tab.
4. Building community within our campus. We are hoping that uniting behind this project as a campus will strengthen our campus community.
