September 17 Smartee ShowOff

Smart Board Showoff & What I have Learned and Issues I have encountered. This will be September 17th in Jason's room, 7:30 AM.

Again, come if you are interested and Smart Board Smartees show us an example of something you have done! This can count as 1/2 hr. towards the 4 hours necessary for grad credit.

For an extra half hour of your time written off, post a comment to this blog, pick anonymous but put your name in it. In the bottom of article, click on comments and it will make sense. Post an idea for a lesson, template used, how you used it. Tell us about a lesson you have done with your students, what your students are saying, how you feel about it, are they enhancing learning? A blog comment with information about a lesson you have presented that you will show at our smartee showoff would be a fabulous entry! REMEMBER! Extra 1/2 hour towards those 4 needed, so please write something thoughtful! Total of 1 hour available!!

First Wanna Know Wednesdays September 10 & September 17!

Hi everyone!

We will meet in the HP lab. Subject will be using accelerated reader, math facts in a flash and the new elementary online keyboarding package.

We will have user accounts for you and for your students for ren place. If you can't come, you can get your sheets from Dorothy and myself later! You could then set up your class for keyboarding with these logins and passwords for your students. I will have instructor accounts set up for the keyboarding.

This can count as 1/2 hr. towards your 4 hours necessary for grad credit from the smart board inservices! Everyone will also get 2 hours towards their credit for the inservice at the end of the month on "Who moved the Cheese: Intro to Office 2007". This presentation will be during the full day inservice in September.
