November

Hello All...

This has been a very busy month for all of us I am sure.  There have also been some bumps along the road in gaining passwords for EM games and Learning A-Z.  (All taken care of)  Sharon Nelson has finished her imovie project and started using the smartboard on a daily basis in her classroom.  She is hooked!  Jen and I had a workshop for EMgames and promoting classes.  Unfortunately not all people were able to attend so it did not go as well as planned.  Andy and I also held a staff meeting on Reading A-Z and Wikis.  It went well and a follow-up workshop will be held hopefully next month to continue with Wikis.  I will keep you posted...

October

     This last month has been full of running around helping teachers with different technologies.  Mrs. Nelson is loving working with imovie and we have been trouble shooting on a daily basis.  She has been successful in adding audio to her movies and hopefully the final products will be completed soon.  Jane Clark has made a blog to support the Write-on committee.  Finally, next wednesday Jen Goodmark and I will be running a staff meeting to inform the staff about EM games and Reading A-Z.

Teacher Technology Projects

This summer I visited with Mrs. Nelson to discuss an imovie project with her third graders.  She wrote a grant for digital cameras, which she got and is off to a great start on the project.  Today we troubleshooted about using iphoto as well as discussing some difficulties she and her students have run into while using imovie.  She feels very proud of the work she is doing and the students are loving the project and using some great technology tools.  I will keep everyone updated on the progress of her class.
