Thanks for all of the new toys and gear!; August 5, 2009 at 4:08 PM
Mrs. T said...: Today was awesome, the hardest part for me was seeing exactly how to use it in my classroom and which parts to pick to use at first. The other part was to figure how to integrate our Promethean boards with this knowledge. I also realize that this will take time. The mentors were all wonderful and gave a tremendous amount of usable information. Thanks to all for your patience.; August 5, 2009 at 4:08 PM
Kristin Edwards said...: I learned: that glogster will be a great way for students to introduce themselves to each other in AVID, that I can Ning with students instead of MySpace, and that I had to download the driver for the webcam.

My two questions are: how can I incorporate Live binders into my class, and how does a digital pen work?

I really want to re-visit smartboards ~ the training was good but there are things I need to remember!; August 5, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Melissa Garcia said...: 3 things I learned:

Today I learned how to create a blog and different ways I can use it with my students. I also learned how digital storytelling allows students to share their ideas using technology. Another thing I learned is how social bookmarking allows a person to bookmark his/her favorite sites and access them from any computer.

2 things I want to learn about tomorrow:

I would like to learn how to create Glogsters with my students. I would also like to learn how to create live binders.

1 question I have is:

What are the most important safety measures I need to think about when creating a classroom blog or website?; August 5, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Tom Ciolek said...: I learned about a variety of new resources that I can implement into my classroom. Glogsters are online posters that I think my students will enjoy creating.
Podcasts and audacity can be useful for students to describe what they know and blogs are a great ways to engage in discussions with large numbers of people.

I would like to find out more about blogging and live binders.

I was wondering what teachers did with students that do not have internet access?; August 5, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Today was fantastic! I learned about blogging, glogging and had many other doors and resources opened to explore! I want to learn more aobut Digital Storytelling & Voicethread among others... There is so much to learn and explore! I know it's an individual preference, but what is the best thing to incorporate immediately in the classroom?

Can we have chocolate tomorrow? That's the only way the day will get better!; August 5, 2009 at 4:20 PM

Tita Martinez said...: I learned about Digital Storytelling and Digital Filmaking. I also learned how to create a poster online without markers or posterboard. I also learned how to use United Streaming with help from another person other than a mentor.
I want to learn about Social Bookmarking and Audacity(I think that's what it was called).
One question I have is this: Is there anyone else out there that is as computer illiterate as I am? I feel like a beginner.; August 5, 2009 at 4:27 PM
cshearin said...: I would like to know why my comments were not posted here....

3,2,1
I learned the meaning of many technological words and phrases.
I also learned how to create a blog and a google site.
I learned that I am not very technologically savvy and have a lot to learn to catch up to the students in my classroom.

I would like to explore how Center Learners will utilize Smartboard software. I would also like to explore how to integrate these items into our classrooms and power standards.

I wonder where to start. This is all overwhelming.; August 5, 2009 at 9:05 PM
