Sixty percent of all workplace errors are a result of poor listening, and nearly half of all employees who resign from a job report leaving because they did not feel heard. To help our students improve their listening skills, teachers in the CTAE department taught a common lesson that reviewed SLANT, a mnemonic providing reminders for how to make a conscious effort to hear the speaker's words and, more importantly, complete message. SLANT stands for Sit up, Lean in, Ask questions, Nod, and Track your speaker.
In the first picture, Mrs. LaKeisha Welch's students did not use SLANT when completing the listening activity. In the second picture, SLANT was used. The results speak for themselves. When we actively listen, our communication with others improves.

Students in Mr. Sapp’s STEM class are having fun learning about energy forms and transitions by building roller coasters. STEM 1 students constructed a roller coaster out of tissue rolls and tested their coaster with a marble. STEM 2 students built a coaster that uses a chain to haul the cart up a hill, changing from potential energy to kinetic energy as the cart goes down and around the track. STEM 2 students also learned about energy forms and transitions with a roller coaster simulation on the Oculus virtual reality headset. #projectbasedlearning #4Cs

Mr. Seth Gutierrez, Ogeechee Technical College instructor, changed things up this week in his College Algebra class. He gathered students' answers using Plickers. This platform allows the instructor to scan the room with his cellphone as students hold up their unique card in a certain way indicating their answer to given problems. The teacher then uses the information collected to adjust his instruction.

What do candy apples, fried Oreos, Korean fried corndogs, and funnel cakes have in common? You got it! They are fair foods. Students in Culinary Arts completed a unit on these fall favorites as the Georgia National Fair wrapped up and the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair kicked off.
