FAQ's
How Long Have You Been Hosting Projects:
Jennifer Wagner started hosting
online projects in 1999. The first
project was an Oreo Project which
was set up originally to collect data
for a science fair project and the
thought of collecting data on the
internet seemed to be fun and interesting.
Though the project was overwhelming
with ALL that had to be learned; it
turned out to be great fun -- AND
an annual event.
Who Can Join An OnlineProject
All ages and all kinds of schools
(private, public, home, college) are
invited to be a part of our projects.
The only rule is that YOU HAVE FUN!!!
Do All Your Projects Involve Food?
No, but a great many of them do.
Let's face it -- the more senses you
use when learning, the better the
possibility will be that you will
remember what you learned. The main
reason that oreos, candys, and cereals
are used is that they offer so many
possibilities!! <g> However,
I am always striving to add more "non-food"
related projects in our upcoming events.
(Be sure to check out our literature
and writing projects!)
Is There A Cost To Participate?
There is never a cost to join in
a JenuineTech.com project. However,
you will probably have to spend
a small amount on the supplies needed
for the project. We try to keep
the cost under $10 per class. For
example: a bag of Oreos is $2.49;
a box of Froot Loops was approximately
$3.50. Most classes need just 2
boxes/bags of whatever project we
are working with.
What Grade Are These Projects Aimed
At?
Though our projects are able to be
used by ALL grades from PreK through
Sixth, I have to say that most of
the Lesson Ideas and Worksheets are
aimed at the 4th grade level. This
is not because I love 4th grade, but
because it seems that most everything
can easily be adapted either up or
down from that grade level!
I Have An Idea For A Project But
Don't Know What To Do!
Projects really aren't as hard as
they look. If you have a great idea,
but want a bit of help getting it
underway, just drop me an email and
we will figure out how to get it up
and going!!
What Is JenuineTech.com?
JenuineTech is a website for teachers
created by a teacher who wants EVERYONE
to be using Technology and wants
EVERYONE to bring fun back into
teaching. You will always get useful
(and fun ideas) to use with your
classroom!
