Welcome to
Ruth Fox Elementary's
Summer Institute
Get Fit: Question. Wonder. Imagine. Explore. Think. Collaborate. Create.
Get ready to build some academic muscle!
During this institute you will investigate media fitness, physical fitness, nutritional fitness, and build mental fitness by participating in numerous interactive literacy and math investigations.
Throughout the Institute, you will grow your understanding of various digital tools and resources—such as, Weebly, Educreations, Wikispaces, GDocs, and Citelighter—and how they can be used to help you collaborate, think, research and produce information, while learning important skills and concepts along the way. We will engage in several Online Fitness Challenges, work collaboratively to research and create an informative piece online, as well as have special guest speakers to push our thinking (Mrs. Gretchen Orr, North Branch Senior Center; Charlie & Jessica, Physical Fitness; Hannah Schmidt, Boxer; Mrs. Tracy Anderson, fitness from a parent perspective; Mr. Wayne Haney, Track Coach).
As a participant of the 2014 RF Summer Institute, you will have opportunities to share your digital expertise with students and staff by serving as a Ruth Fox Elementary Tech Mentor during the 2014-2015 school year.
