About Me

My photo
Hello World... My name is Laurence Cambe. I am a student of the Northern Marianas College and now in my senior year. I was born and raised on this tiny island called Saipan. Although, it may seem so far away from the real world, I believe it is one of the most beautiful places to be on. I am now a Full Time Educator at William S. Reyes Elementary School, although, I am looking forward to my graduation this May. I hope you enjoy my blog...

Flat Stanley Project

Here is a slide show of pictures of me and my students working on the Flat Stanley Project. For my slide show I used picturetrail. It was very easy to use. Very user friendly. I did not have problems with uploading and creating the slide show. The template that I used was just one from the many provided. For those who love to create slide shows and share pictures, picturetrail is a great site to use. So, here it goes and I hope you enjoy once again... ;)

Electronic Web-Based Professional Portfolio



Here is my professional portfolio. It consists of just my resume. However, I will be adding to my portfolio as I go on through my education journey. Moreover, I agree with Mrs. Campo and I find this useful especially when applying for a job.

The use of Technology in the K-8 Science Curriculum (Teachback)

Here is my presentation. My topic was on the use of technology in the K-8 Science Curriculum. This experience was great! It was my first time to actually do a teach back through the use of technology and within long distance from the instructor. I admit I was nervous to do this teach back because I did not totally know how to present such information without seeing the people whom I am presenting too.
Through this experience I have learned that technology can be integrated not only in the science curriculum but also within the other entire curriculum. I have learned that with the use of technology we are able to enhance student learning and have students become more engaged and motivated in learning. However, I have also learned that technology has its failures and through trial and error we are able to become knowledgeable in the better ways of using technology.

Rubric Assessment Tool


The grading rubric I created was to be used on the Friendly Letter Writing for the Flat Stanley Project. I used http://rubistar.4teachers.org to create my rubric and I thought it was so easy. I like how the site was FREE, how it provided many different ready made rubrics, how the criteria’s were already made and all you had to do was select which ones you wanted to include into your rubric. I also like how the criteria’s were provided along with the points. It was so EASY EASY EASY. I had no difficulty working with rubistar in which I don’t think I would use any other site to create rubrics.

Moreover, the rubric that I created on rubistar would be a great way to assess my students on their letter writing. Rubrics are an easy way for students to follow instructions of the teacher’s expectations and an easy way for students to earn their grade. It is one easy way to grade the students’ works.
