Welcome to
Ruth Fox Elementary's Summer Institute
Get Fit: Question. Wonder. Imagine. Explore. Think. Collaborate. Create.
Get ready to build some academic muscle!
During this institute you will investigate media fitness, physical fitness, nutritional fitness, and build mental fitness by participating in numerous interactive literacy and math investigations.
Throughout the Institute, you will grow your understanding of various digital tools and resources—such as, Citelighter, Weebly, ScreenChomp—and how they can be used to help you collaborate, think, research and produce information, while learning important skills and concepts along the way. We will engage in several Online Fitness Challenges, work collaboratively to create an informative piece online, learn from special guest visitors, Skype with young adult author, Ellen Potter, and two Michigan Junior Olympians.
As a participant of the 2013 RF Summer Institute, you will have opportunities to share your digital expertise with students and staff by serving as a Ruth Fox Elementary Tech Mentor during the 2013-2014 school year.
