Energy Conservation

The question that I am asking for my energy conservation project is,"How much fuel and money could I save by riding my bike to work instead of driving?" I googled fuel conservation and there were several good sites that relate to the subject. Riding a bike instead of driving was even listed on one of the sites as a suggestion to decrease fuel consumption.

To answer this question I need to know how far it is to work, round trip. I also need to know my trucks gas mileage. I will look up the distance to work on Mapquest.com. To figure out my gas mileage I will divide the number of miles driven by the gas used. I will also document how much and where I drive for a week. This will help me determine if there are any other areas where I can become more efficient.

Anthro-Tech

After assessing the technological culture at Nunaka Valley I have come to the conclusion that there is an amazing amount of untapped potential when it comes to the use of technology in schools. We have technology and computer lab time available to us however it is not always used and there is not a big emphasis on educational technology in our curriculum. The amount of technology that students are exposed to seems to be largely at the discretion of the teacher.
A couple of teachers are working on a TTL grant that will bring digital storytelling to our school. This will be a great project because it will get the whole school involved with the use of technology. Hopefully it will help teachers become more comfortable with the incorporation of technology in the classroom. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhm7ws2s_0g97td9fb
