Stewartsville Elementary

Ms. Newman has developed an innovative way for students to review for tests. The teacher prepares questions and the student answers them on a computer. When the student answers correctly, they are given longitude and latitude points to use with the GPS receivers. They will navigate around the school to retrieve puzzle pieces. The students are motivated to study the test material while at the same time learning about longitude, latitude and how to use a GPS receiver.

You can understand why Ms. Newman was selected as Elementary Level Teacher of the Year when you see the creative techniques she develops to motivate her students and fellow teachers.
