Bridge Builder
Bridge Builder Instructions
Build a secure
bridge that can withstand the weight of the truck as it goes from one
side to another. Purchase parts to construct your bridge with your
limited money. Once you have constructed the bridge, instruct the truck
to drive across it. Keep an eye on the beams as the truck passes; red
indicates that a beam is under a lot of stress. Good luck!
Use your mouse to build bridges. Click the play button on the upper left
side to see if the bridge is stable, if not you can edit it. Turn the
go lights on to get the truck moving.
There are approx. 25 levels to this game. Lets see who can get the farthest!

W10 Activities
Monday -
OA - If you could live anywhere, where would you live? Include a photo of the area or home where you would live.
Note: Grades have been updated. Please check schoolloop. Review your grade to make sure that I included everything that you turned in.
Tuesday-
OA- If you could live forever, would you? Why or why not?
@ Lunch. Anyone who constructed a rocket....We will fly them at LUNCH. All Periods.
Wednesday -
OA - Tell me about you. Who are you? What is YOUR story?
Example: Mr. Connor A Teacher story....
Mr. Connor - I have been teaching for 21 years. I got into teaching kind of by a fluke, or a stroke of luck. I have a degree in Engineering Technology and 21 years ago I had a construction business, and was tangled up in a law suite with HUD. To this day I will profess my innocence but it wiped me out financially. At the same time at Upland JHS, the wood shop teacher Mr. Gabonnay had had a heart attack and had to retire from teaching. The school was unsuccessful finding a replacement, until I entered the equation. I took a chance and applied for the position. I got the job!
I taught at Upland JHS for 11 years. I taught Wood Shop and a class called Exploring Technology. I attempted to recreate the wood shop area into a 21 century lab based on the concept that an organization called ITEA (International Technology Education Assosiation) was proposing. I removed the traditional desks and with a budget of just $1,100 spent a few weeks over a summer break and created 16 stations in the classroom and developed lessons to run in each station. Long story short, it was not my teaching style, and part of it the students were not deligent enough to take personally responsibility to self monitor their work rate. The concept was that the teacher became a more of a facilitator. I ran the lab about two years this way and made the personal decision to scrap that delivery system.
For my sanity, I selected the 8 best lessons and ran my entire class one station at a time together. It ws the right thing to do for me. 15 years later I still run many of the station concepts at the high school level in my Computer and Math classes.
Thursday:Favorite video online. Please copy video and post on to your blogger page.
Friday: Selfie Friday - Take a Selfie photo of yourself with Mr. Connor in photo. Post to Blogger and send an email to Connor.

Since I am up north I am basing this web hunt on the Great Northwest. Humboldt is about 100 miles from the Oregon border.
