Fellows take Technology to the Next Level introduced to StarLogo Nova, an online programming environment developed at MIT. is now favorite MiniTerm course is offered annually. Trevor also presented it last year at the NYSAIS Teaching with Technology conference, to great enthusiasm. 4 Digital Portfolios Eighth-grade science teacher Meghan McDonough began using Google Sites with her students a few years ago. (Google Sites is a website-creating tool that is included in the G Suite we use at Trevor.) is year, students created and used their sites to archive all of their work in the class. Students learned to organize, format, and choose appropriate content for their sites, making different decisions and using different technology, depending on the needs of their project. 4 Kinematics Modeling Upper School science teacher Dr. Megan Henry has, for the last three years, incorporated computer modeling into her 11th-grade physics class. Using a computer program to simulate kinematics gives students another perspective on the topic. Dr. Henry uses Processing (the same tool taught to all students in Trevor's Programming Fundamentals course), so that students benefit from a shared familiarity with the tool and can focus on the concepts. In 2017, this course was also a highly regarded presentation at the NYSAIS Teaching with Technology conference. 4 e Middle and Upper School Library Media Center e Library Media Center provides students and teachers with access to many wonderful resources: infor- mation, research and reference tools, and links to databases such as JSTOR, Gale, LibGuides, Infobase, and Britannica. Via the school's Amazon Kindles, the media center also provides students and faculty access to over 5,000 ebooks, covering all subjects and genres.
