Thing #23

At the beginning of the 23 things module I was a little overwhelmed and I am glad that I didn't look ahead because it probably would have been discouraging. I have already reflected on the first 13 things so I'll save being redundant. Things 14 through 23 helped tie many loose ends together for me and it gave me the opportunity to go deeper with some of the applications than I had previously been. It gave me an overall better understanding of the NETS-T. I had a good experience with the 23 Things module but I am pleased to say that I have finished.

Thing #22-The Cloud 2010

I attended a session on using Acuity Unwired with CPS responders during the 2010 conference. During the session the presenter took all of the participants through the entire process of using responders to complete Acuity assessments. The presenter emphasized the ease and convenience of using Acuity Unwired and modeled each and every step of the process, then went back through and answered any questions asked by the participants. It prepared me for modeling the program myself to the teachers in my school.

Thing #21 Webinar

I viewed the Action Research eluminate session that was originally presented on December 1st. I watched the recording on December 21st. The eluminate session was presented by Valerie Wilson and Karen Karr. The purpose of the training was to prepare the TIS for their Action Research Projects.

SKYPE Thing #19

Recently a Social Studies teacher in my school used skype to communicate with a soldier from our area who is stationed in Afghanistan. He allowed the students to ask questions and thank him for his sacrifice to our country. I thought the activity was especially valuable to this group of students because it motivated them to discuss global issues and they were all eager to find out as much as they could.

Yes, our district's AUP does provide for web 2.0 publishing and sharing permissions. At my school we keep all AUP's on file in the library/media center. Any student who does not have an AUP on file is blocked from internet use through a program called Web Warden. If a student has no AUP on file then they are strictly forbidden from any internet use at school.
