In September, I held a Freshmen meeting to discuss graduation requirements, GPA, and college planning. In preparation, I ran across a
prezi created by Talani Nelson in Florida. I loved her lay out and her ideas of making the presentation interactive. After tracking her down, Talani was kind enough to also share her worksheet with me which she used with her students. Utilizing her ideas and my own meeting goals, I recreated her presentation and edited her worksheet to meet my student needs. (BTW if you have never used prezi.com I hihgly recommend it as a way to view and share presentations. There are LOTS of great ideas on there!) Here is a link to the presentation:
Following the presentation, I then began meeting with EVERY 9th grade student. Now this idea I found on pinterest posted by
JYP Counselor- called minute meetings with a tech spin. I will admit that my meetings took more than a minute, but I did ask more questions than she did with elementary school students. I also used her idea of using a Google doc to log all the info. I LOVE data and this was a fun and easy way to keep it all together. I HIGHLY recommend using the Google form.
