Blogging in Plain English

Thanks to Common Craft. These folks make it so clear.

Smart Certification Video

This is my video lesson. I cut a few minutes from the gallery portion to shorten it a bit.

This video shows off one of my favorite tools. Have fun. I get a kick out of this guy's videos.

Technology Central

After a summer away from blogging and spending time on the computer, I am playing technology catch up. My classroom is truly becoming technology central and I am learning everyday what to do with it all. I now have a projector, smartboard and Elmo in my room.

I am amazed by what they can do, but know that I am only using a small portion of their capabilities. My class and I are having a great time with all the new technology. We are also trying to keep up with our blogging. As if that is not enough technology for one teacher to learn, I sat in a training today for DIBELS. DIBELS is a series of reading assessments that will be administered using a Palm Pilot. I enjoyed playing with my Palm, but have a lot to learn.

I am having a great time, but suffering from a bit of technology overload. As I find interesting or helpful information about these new technologies I will post them here.
