Yikes, I talk fast. My host teacher keeps telling me this but until I heard it for myself, I just didn't realize. I don't talk fast through the whole presentation but there are little spurts of information even I can't understand. SLOW DOWN!!!
Other than my fast talking, I had a few ums and I got lost once or twice in my thoughts so I repeated myself, which I did not notice while delivering the presentation. Something I realized halfway through presenting was that my feet were planted firmly in place. I hadn't shifted or taken a few side steps or anything. I used my hands and arms alot to make up for lack of movement in my feet.
In the video you can hardly see the information on the screen because we had to use the ELMO to take a screen shot and project onto the wall. Apparently we don't have the proper cords to hook up to a Mac and when I tried to pull up my presentation on a PC I got an error message, so bummer. Other technical difficulties include not being able to retrieve the audio from this little device Dr. Marvel loaned to me. Sorry to disappoint, but I am unable to post the video.

Nondalton School Electricity Savings
Saving electricity is on everyone's mind at Nondalton school, particularly when we have a resident light switch nazi who goes around turning off all unnecessary lighting. (Thanks, Ron!) The presentation describes a summary of our electricity-saving quest and the spreadsheet shows our potential savings of over $2,000. If all schools in LPSD are saving as much as we are, this equates to $2,500 in our student account at the end of the year. Woohoo!!
The 9th and 10th graders helped with the recording for the gym lights and of course the next day we made a math lesson out of our data. I noticed that 10th grade is the ceiling for cool school involvement, so I'll be presenting the slide show to the junior high group. We are still practicing good energy saving practices, but last week our efforts were to no avail when the dental staff stayed for the whole week! Good thing we saved so much already.
