VISIT MY WEBSITE!

Hello all!

I teach 6th, 7th & 8th grade Art at SMS.
This will be my first time creating a Wiki. I figure I better keep up considering my sons' charter school uses Wikis on edline and have worked with blogger.
We use laptops in art to research master works, multiple cultures and various subjects to aid our creations. I created a website on myteacherpages.com which has been very helpful to students and parents. I hope to find more fun ways to integrate technology in my classroom.

It's Already Tuesday!!!

Hi all,
Just blogging for the first time. I joined Facebook on January 1st to see the first of my daughter's wedding pictures from New Year's Eve. I don't write on Facebook... just keep track of the family goings on. I'm looking forward to hearing about ways to use blogs etc. in my 7th grade social studies class.

Happy Tuesday

I teach social studies at SMS. I am excited to incorporate more technology into my classes. I created a Wiki last year but did not feel that I used it effectively. I do use "standard" technology like mobile laptops, overhead, ppts, etc., but want to expand my usage.

More...

That wasn't much of an introduction! I teach ELA at the middle school and would love to use more diverse technology in my class.

I do plenty of powerpoint presentations and I use the projector quite frequently. However, I'd love to make use of this type of technology with the laptops in class.

Checking it out

Hi....just checking out the blog!

My first post...

Hi! My name is Jen. I teach social studies at the high school and this is my fourth year doing so. I am pretty comfortable with wiki and other Web 2.0 applications. I like that most of it has become so user friendly... no need for knowing html codes and other complicated tech items for creating straightforward wiki pages and such.

I have had a wiki for my classes for the past year or so, and I have found it to be a great tool for out of class student discussions, posting documents, and keeping an updated google calendar. I've been trying to teach myself new things, such as embedding different kinds of widgets that may be helpful and just taking advantage of new technologies in general... I hope to continue to improve my skills during this course. One thing that I have been wanting to learn how to do is have my students create podcasts. I'm looking forward to learning lots of skills that I can apply in the classroom during the rest of the course!

trying hard

I am confused but trying hard. Public speaking (and/or writing) is not my thing so exploring all these links and figuring out what it all means is getting me very nervous! Time to go out for some good Italian food and wine. Am hoping I eventually find my way to some info on gross motor development and PT in the schools.
