School Google Christmas Day

What is currently being proposed is a "Google Heritage Day" before Christmas to introduce our St. Albert Christmas project to a school.

Options for the "Google Heritage Day" (A computer projector and lab or the equivalent is needed for the whole day).

1. Any Day except a Friday (before December 5)
   
2. Although the day is a one time commitment, what is learned and projects developing from the day could continue for years to come.
   
3. One option is for me to work with students and classes as a substitute teacher, without the involvimg teachers from the school, other than they cover my sub duties.
4. The other is to hire one or two additional subs so that teachers can attend sessions with their classes and one teacher who would be interested in learning to use Google applications (primarily blogger for Language Arts and Social Studies) could work with me for the entire day..
   
5. If a teacher is involved in the day then the I would meet with the teacher first to set up for the day.
6. Once we are prepared, then a total of not more than 20 student helpers (students mostly from either grades 7-12 or grades 4-6 who have good work habits and Internet skills) would meet to get instruction. These students would help others in their class or work with students in grades 1-3.
   
7. Have classes of teachers and students in grades 4-6 spend a period each working on the project..
8. Or have classes of teachers and students in grades 7-12 (most profitable for grade 7) spend a period each working on the project.
   
9. Optional: meet with student helpers and prepare for presentations to grade 1- 3 students.
   
10. Optional: Presentations to grade 1 and 2 classes.
    
11. If desired meet briefly after school with interested teachers to review the day and introduce them to using Google applications.
    

Hope this helps you understand how our history book projects could work in our schools. After Christmas, I hope to be working on St. Albert History Google days.
