I was so excited about the teacher making his wiki, that I forgot all about my exciting day on Friday.
My friend, the one that I think is the best Language Arts/ Social Studies teacher I know, called and asked me if I would help her class make a podcast.
Yippee! I was more than happy [...]
Yahoo2! How often do we get to post the good great stuff? Well, I have 2 great items to post tonight.
The first great item was that my presentation went well Thursday night. We had probably 100-150 people in attendance and I had a really good turnout at my sessions. That may [...]
Tonight I am presenting a short session on Internet safety to the parents at one of my middle schools. Nervous? You better believe it. The counselors are projecting 300 people in attendance.
It really is a neat idea. The counselors have planned a PASS (parents and students succeeding) Fair. The parents are [...]
Splat! That was me hitting the wall on Friday night. Hubby and I were having our normal Friday night supper with my school friends. The H.O.T.’s (husbands of teachers) were sitting at their end of the table discussing important stuff (I think I heard North Carolina and Kentucky basketball) and the [...]
I spent the day in Raleigh observing a fabulous event. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction sponsored the North Carolina Legislative School Technology Day. WOW! What a wonderful experience.
The school districts in the state were invited to showcase what their students are doing with technology. This included bringing student representatives [...]
Vicki Davis, aka: Cool Cat Teacher, has done it once again. She has now found an excellent use for YouTube in the classroom. From Vicki’s blog:
You tube is an incredible tool waiting for a use. There are already GREAT videos out there for classrooms. If you don’t believe me, look at the 2nd place [...]
No, not the Yahoo search engine, but the real, honest to goodness, come from the belly, yahoo yell. The fire has caught on and while we don’t have a wildfire, yet, the fire has been lit and keeps growing. I did my second wiki workshop and even teachers who “go grudgingly toward technology” [...]
I have forgotten how to work with 6th graders. After teaching 7th and 8th grade for several years, I forgot how you have to go slower and step by step with 6th graders. I worked with a group today using Gaggle as an editing tool. God love ‘em, they tried. [...]
The crow that I’m eating that is. We did have a snow day today - for the kids, but the teachers had to be there on time. So, is that suggesting our safety isn’t as important as the kids?!?!? But, at 1:00 we were told we needed to be out of the building [...]
It’s 11:00 as I sit in front of the TV with baited breath. Counties all around us are canceling school tomorrow and I wait to see if we will follow suit. Why did I say maybe a snow day? Well, it’s because we haven’t gotten any precipitation yet. We are in [...]
