Egg Roll, anyone?


Jennifer Wagner is at it again. This seemingly tireless educator is about to kick start a new collaborative, online project. This is for all of you who need some math and physics with a dash of technology tied into your curriculum.

It is (begin using loud, booming, announcer voice here) The Great Egg Roll 2007. Registration starts March 19th, so find a way to fit it into your lesson plans and realize that the hands-on application of skills will prepare your kids for TAKS better than drill and kill (not to mention they love it a whole lot more).

So here are her highlights:
Welcome to the 7th Annual Great Egg Roll Online Project sponsored by
TechnospudProjects.com!

Registration for this project will open on
March 19, 2007!

Each registering classroom needs to pair up with one other classroom at their school with whom they will be
rolling their eggs. Together, you will be gathering averages, adding measurements, and more!
(It does NOT need to be the same grade level, so feel free
to roll with your "buddy" classes!)

All eggs will need to be 2" plastic eggs filled with
3 Level Tablespoons of White (uncooked) Rice!! You are welcome to start
filling and gluing your eggs now for this project!

The project dates will be from
March 26 - April 13, 2007.

Jennifer Wagner
Technospud Projects Coordinator

    Hey Scott--thanks for posting! I'd love to keep up with her site! You know what, wouldn't it be fun to have a blog resource board--I know we have the abilityh to get updates through de.li.cious (never can spell that) but it would be fun to have a best blogs resources page for Bluebonnets to peruse. Just a thought.

    I started working on the redesign today. It will probably mena some bookmark changes, but we should be good to go. I am not sure how long it will take. I will let you know. That would be an easy page to add, though.

    Thanks so much for the post.

    The Egg Roll is one of my favorite projects -- we are in our 7th year -- and this year I have added a Google Group -- and already teachers are sharing ideas!! So fun!

    Thanks also for mentioning physics --- LOL, again a project is taking to an even higher level then I had thought. Way to go!!

    Thanks again
    Jennifer
