Dryden School Art Teacher, 5th Graders Win $5K Grant with McGraw-Hill STEMIE  (click title to read the story) 
Dryden art teacher Tricia Fuglestad and her class from Arlington Heights Dryden Elementary School recently won a prestigious STEMIE award from McGraw-Hill Education for innovation in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The collaborative work by 100 fifth graders took second place and brings a grant award of $5,000 to Dryden Elementary School, 722 South Dryden Place in Arlington Heights. The combined technology and art project required 335 drawn images by 100 fifth graders on a class using Apple iPads with styluses and team work. The rotoscope animation collaboration was a unique experiment in creativity and cooperation, and learning to envision the big picture compared to the student’s individual piece of the puzzle.

Article about the Golden Apple Finalists in the NW Suburbs

03/26/2012

 
The latest Northwest suburban teachers to make the cut as Golden Apple finalists are an art teacher (that's me) who uses filmmaking to engage her students, a dual language teacher who promotes bilingualism, and a second-grade teacher who makes connections for his students and their families. Read the Daily Herald Story and see the rest of the images here.
The story mentions my students' movies (Fugleflicks). Here are the links if you're interested:
