Video Conferencing
I've been spending the better part of the past two days looking
at good resources for Videoconferencing. I have found the COSI
and CILC are the best so far. While NASA has some good ones,
I believe that these other sites offer more of a variety for our younger
students, and of course, a wider variety of curriculum topics.

AverPens
My plan is to teach at least one lower grade and one upper grade class about AverPens.
I will develop and help facilitate a lesson to integrate AverPens.

iMovie/Podcasting
This podcast was my first at comparing both Garage Band and iMovie. iMovie was MUCH easier for this type of podcast. I used the illustrations that the students made along with their podcast recordings. In putting the illustrations with the audio files, it was much easier to use iMovie than Garage Band due to the length of each podcast track and matching it with the illustrations. The study of Ancient Egyptian cultures and customs is part of the sixth grade core.

Professional Development Plan
This school year, Professional Development is seamless for me.
I am always learning new and exciting ways to enhance classroom
performance for both teachers and students.
I am using many resources to research curriculum standards
for all grade levels.
My plan for this year is to do the following by the end
of the 2009-2010 school year:
1. Attend C-Forum at least three times, and
integrate at least one new tool from each.
2. Read at least one new research project via tweet
or internet per week.
3. Network with other colleagues/experts at least
once a month via twitter or face-to face meetings.
4. Learn one new tip or trick to enhance podcasting
and iMovie per month via apple education online.
5. Attend at least one UEN class this year and
implement one tool learned with students and
teachers this year.
6. Attend two BYOL sessions at ISTE and
integrate at least one tool with students and
teachers in the 2010-11 school year.
7. Attend two Student Showcase sessions at
ISTE and integrate at least one tool with
students and teachers in the 2010-11 school year.
I am currently working on the self-evaluation tool
and will have it posted no later than December 23, 2009.
