What is New Tech?
A way of collaboration through project based learning and community involvement. We use 21st century skills to strengthen our bond with the outside world and improve critical thinking. It makes us apply everything we do in school to the real world and prepares us for life after high school. I believe New Tech is leading me on the right path to my future career. To understand the concept of New Tech, you really just need to experience it for yourself; this way of learning is not for every one, but has helped me in so many ways. New Tech is a great opportunity and I am lucky to be a part of the whole process!
BIOLIT:
Mrs. Mosey and Mrs. Trosin made class fun and exciting. This class consisted of a two-hour block during 4th and 5th hour. It combined biology with literature. The main focus of the class was to learn different science related terms and form research papers/powerpoints for the literature aspect of the class. This was one of my favorite classes all year, especially because of the teachers. Ms. Mosey and Mrs. Trosin were outstanding leaders for New Tech. They answered any question that could've been asked and supported us in every project. My favorite project was creating a video on Edgar Allan Poe. It made me memorize a whole poem that he wrote, just by watching the comical video that we created. The best part about New Tech is being with your friends and creating magnificent projects that could potentially benefit or community.
WORLD HISTORY:
Mrs. Rose was definitely one of the nicest teachers I had this year. World History is not one of my favorite subjects, but this year I was interested in all the chapters we covered. World War one and World War two were the most fun to learn about. The tests are simple to understand, as long as you finish all your worksheets in class. One of my favorite projects in this class was making a children's book on colonialism. We had to interpret the information and turn it into a story that little kids could understand. (the link to my book is posted below) In this class, we also made a music video about world war one. It was a phenomenal project and everyones videos were outstanding! Overall, world history was an enjoyable class and I learned a lot this year.
