January and February

Yes, I know that I am behind in my blogging!! I have been very busy lately.
  • I have started my action research project...it will be very interesting to see the results. I think that my kids are really enjoying this! They really like learning about financial literacy!
  • I am learning how to use my iPad! That was a great perk at FETC! So far, I have only downloaded free apps.
  • As a project, I am going to have my kids research apps that I should purchase and orally present them to the class. The best presentation will win!
  • I sponsored a Cyber Safety Week in Taylor County. Sgt. Chris Casto from WV State Police, Internet Crimes Against Children unit, presented to both students during the day and then an evening presentation to parents. We gave away a 26" flat screen tv and a portable dvd player. Sgt Casto said that this was the biggest group of parents he had presented to. We had about 33 people in attendance.
  • I am researching what new technology to purchase for my classroom. In the process, I found out that we had doc cams, Mobi's, and clickers in the closet collecting dust! WOW!
  • Our Superintendent is still talking about hiring a TIS for the county. The teachers that I have spoke to see the DIRE need for a TIS!

Slowly but surely, I am completing my work for the online course. Now I need to focus on the portfolio. A few of us are going to get together to work on our assignments, the more the better!
