- About Me
- I am an American elementary school teacher. I have been living in Buenos Aires, Argentina and working in a "bilingual" private school (grades k-12) for more than 10 years. What do I mean by "bilingual"? Students are taught all subjects in English and Spanish. English instruction is from 8:30-12:00 daily with an English speaking classroom teacher and then we break for lunch. After lunch the "Spanish teacher" takes over and continues with her national curriculum until 4:30pm. (middle school and high school even later!) In the morning, we teach all subjects: math, science, social studies, etc. completely in English. Our language Arts curriculum comes from the Cambridge International Primary Programme. They monitor the students' progess and achievement through standardized test scores. Last year I became an accreditted marker for CIPP. It was a challenge and a learning experience!

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
