2008 Richland Presidential Mock Electon & Statical Breakdowns:
This year the student body at Richland Jr/Sr High School participated in a mock Presidential election. The voting process was electronic through the Google documents online web survey creator. Mr Bassett, the social studies teachers and I created the ballot that included survey questions about various topics related to the election. The results were available real-time as the students voted. My Honors Trigonometry students were broken into 5 groups and were assigned different topics to analyze, some by grade and some by gender. They used animoto.com to create a presentation of their findings. Once the results were broken down, they were distributed back to the Social Studies teachers, so every student in the school had a chance to watch the videos. Teachers can sign up for a free educational account on Animoto.com and have unlimited length of video time for free. A special thanks goes out to Mr. Bassett, Mr. Jones, Mr. Shirt, Mr. Wenturine, Mr. Regan, Mr. Kubay, and Mr. Yarnick.
