Well I have to say that the Feb weekend has to have been the most inspiring and exhilarating yet. <!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt

I had such a great time at class on Sat. The presentations were awesome and looking at the future of technology in education was incredible. I have more to share at another time but just had to show you this information. The link is to a YouTube video about the Smart Table. I didn't even realize there was such a thing. Right now it looks like it may be geared more toward early elementary

I should have mentioned in my previous post that the tech tools I am working with teachers on are for them to increase productivity. At this time we can access some 2.0 tools as faculty but are not allowed to use blogs, wikis, or other tools with students. I do believe that by introducing these cool tools to my staff that they will be more than ready to plunge in when we do have permission to use

The videos of Introducing The Book and Stuck On An Escalator were hilarious. I am trying to decide if I should show them at a staff mtg. It seems as though everyone is so occupied with preparing for the MCA's that nothing else seems important.Before the January session I had the opportunity to share/coach teachers on the use of Animoto, Delicious, Googledocs and Blogger.

Our art teacher is interested in saving photos of student work online so she can use them in projects without taking up so much space on our school server. I suggested she look at Flickr, Picasa or Photobucket. I would welcome any other possiblities.

The new year has begun with wonderful promise. I've spent some time reflecting on 2008 as an individual, an educator and as a member of E2T2. The year 2008 must go down as one of the most incredible years of my life. A daughter moves to Florida, a daughter graduates from Culinary Arts school and purchases a restaurant with her boyfriend (also a chef), planning and celebrating my new marriage to

November was an incredible month. Again, we had stimulating discussions about the use and misuse of technology. There was sharing of frustrations and successes. Ryan’s presentation showing what he is doing in his classroom was inspiring.After learning so much about Googledocs from Molly Schroeder, I went back to school and tried uploading previously created Word docs. Well, I found out that

Our October sessions were jam packed with hands-on technology learning. Again I had a combination of feelings of exhilaration about the possibilities but tempered by the cruel facts of the present technology restrictions in place at my district. Along with having the opportunity to be in a smaller group while investigating the various technologies, there were some great ideas for how to use the

At our Sept. meeting, we became acquainted with one another as well as the purpose, hopes and dreams of the Technology Integration Academy cohort. The wide range of age, years of experience, academic expertise, the size of districts and availability of technology makes for an excellent and exciting learning environment. As one who learns best in a collaborative group, I am looking forward with

As I went back to refresh my memory of the amazing depth of resources we have been exposed to and during the first months of E2T2, I realized that I was not addressing a specific area necessary for the credits I am hoping to receive from Hamline. My reflections so far have not specifically addressed the weekend session activities. Since I have taken notes at each session I will attempt to rectify

Hi all,I am actually at home today because of an appt. later. Decided to check my school email and found an invite to Twitter. Well, I guess I need some assistance. I realized I had already registered but really cannot figure out what to do with Twitter. Even checking the help menu etc... hasn't helped. Old brain syndrome I guess.Oh, and I had an unusual but fun week last week. Our school was

Well fellow students, it has been a while since I have written. I am finding that I think very often about something that I could/should write on my Blog but am busy and put it off. Later I have forgotten the thought or idea and the opportunity has passed. It seems that part of the difficulty for me is that I am not by nature a writer and do a lot of mulling over in my own thoughts. I am not used

I was very very frustrated when it seemed that my blog was not working. I must have spent almost an hour trying to figure out what was wrong. I even started building a new blog. Well, eventually I found out that I had logged in with the wrong email address. Jeepers, creepers! So, I deleted the 2nd blog I started and hope now to be able to use this one as I wanted too. That's the thing about new

Life has sure been interesting lately and has really put a crimp in my time to get familiar with and use my new blog. I had set one up last spring when starting the 21 Things on a Stick program offered through Minnesota’s seven multicounty multitype library systems. It was a fun experience but as with anything new in technology I've found "if you don't use it, you lose it". So, this is my second
