Many of you have heard about Google's 20 % time where they allow their employees 20% of their work time to investigate other things. Educator
Kevin Brookhouser's wrote a book called The 20Time Project about this process for the classroom. See his website <a href="http://www.20time.org/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #007c89; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">http://www.20time.org/</a>.<br />
<br />
Indianola teacher Ali Sauter developed a set of modules for Indianola
students that she graciously allowed us to take and move statewide that
follow what Kevin suggests students do in the classroom to work on their
passion. Here are the modules that are available for you to use with
your students should you want to try this out:<br />

Our group chose this topic because many of us are athletes, and care about keeping players safe while they are participating. Additionally, most of us are interested in pursuing a career in the medical field, and we enjoy learning more about the jobs that are available along with the anatomy of the human body.</div>

Four students from the Waukee APEX, Aspiring Professional Experience, program have created an informational curriculum for 3rd-5th graders to improve their dental hygiene. These students all attend Waukee High School and are a part of the Exploration of Health Sciences and Medicine course at APEX. The writers and creators of this informational page are: Waukee seniors, Abdel Homedan and David Ghaly and juniors, Mia Stevenson and Elly Bates.<br />
<br />
This curriculum will give young kids an opportunity to learn about why it is important to have good dental hygiene and how to achieve that through interactives and fun videos. Some of the main objectives that are emphasized are the following…<br />
<ul>
<li>Why it is important to brush your teeth. </li>
<li>What happens when you do not brush your teeth properly. </li>
<li>How to clean your teeth. </li>
<li>How to floss your teeth properly. </li>
<li>What a dentist does for your and your teeth! </li>
</ul>
We chose to design this course to inform young student about the importance of dental health, but in a fun way where they can play games and watch videos. Our hope is that by creating this, kids can see brushing their teeth in a different light and hopefully have fun learning about it as well. <br />
<br />
This module was added to the <a href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/">Student Personalized Learning </a><a href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/">System</a>,
and can be found on the AEA website. There are also many other lessons
available to look at, so feel free to browse and maybe learn a thing or
two in the process.<br />

October 14th kicks of Digital Citizenship Week...Are you ready?</h1>
Digital Citizenship is an important tool that we as teachers can give our students that will last them their entire life. AEA Learning Online is here to help teachers make that a little bit easier. We have created modules for different grade spans, K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The Kindergarten through eighth-grade modules are based on Common Sense Media's Digital Citizenship lessons. They are enhanced with videos, audio, and various interactive activities that make the learning fun! The ninth through twelve grade modules are based on Mike Ribble's "Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship". These modules are also enhanced with video, audio, and interactives.<br />
<br />

<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
These modules are <strong>FREE</strong> for you to use a teacher with your students. To check out these modules, go to <a data-cke-saved-href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/" href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/" target="_blank">learning.aeak12online.org</a> click log in and use the AEA Login credentials that you use for the Teacher Training system (Bloodborne Pathogens training, Mandatory Reporter training, etc).

Today we have student bloggers sharing the content they have created in the Student Personalized Learning System:<br />
<br />
The Exploration of Health Sciences and Medicine students through the APEX, Aspiring Professional Experience, program have created a curriculum for 3-5th graders about how to make your brain healthy. The creators are: Safire Harter, a senior at Waukee High School, Janjay Peters, a senior at Waukee High School, and Chloe Anderson, a junior at Waukee High School.<br />
<br />
APEX is a program through Waukee High School, where students have the opportunity to work with outside companies, and gain experience in the business world.<br />
<br />
This course was designed to help students learn about a specific career or field that they might want to pursue later on in life and is intended for elementary age kids. The content is meant to teach these young students about:<br />
<ul>
<li>Why the brain is important </li>
<li>What the brain does </li>
<li>How to make your brain healthy </li>
<li>Careers in health </li>
</ul>
<br />
The reason we chose the topic brain health was because we wanted to do something that we were all interested in. We all like children, and are also fascinated by the brain. In this project we decided to incorporate both of those aspects into the final product.<br />
<br />
This module was added to the <a href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/">Student Personalized Learning </a><a href="http://learning.aeak12online.org/">System</a>, and can be found on the AEA website. There are also many other lessons available to look at, so feel free to browse and maybe learn a thing or two in the process.<br />

Thomas has blended his classroom for several years. At Johnston juniors and seniors have open campus and the blended classroom makes use of this by having days where students are not in the classroom with the teacher, but doing their work in the online portal. He will share why he went this route, the benefits for students, how he scaffolds his students to learn this way, what parents and students are saying and where his students go when they are not in the classroom.<br />
