Exit Experience

Tonight we talked about the Exit Experience. I can't believe how much we learned over the past 18 months. Wendy, Shannon and I have gone through such a transformation. The lessons that were created and the information that we learned is amazing.

The end is near

As the end of this experience approaches I have to reflect on what I have learned. There has been so much. I have thoroughly enjoyed this final semester. I wish that it could have been longer. There is so much cool stuff out there. I think that it would have been nice to have been able to delve into it more.

Podcasting Advocacy

Our podcasting/audio file turned out fabulous. I learned some new parts to audacity that I had not used before. It was pretty cool. We were able to merge several tracks together to create a fabulous file. I think it is very exciting.

I had an opportunity yesterday to read the Richardson book. I am enjoying his reflections on his own use in the classroom. Using this technology in the classroom opens the doors to some very exciting times.

Advocacy PSA

It was so much fun creating our PSA. I don't think that I have laughed liked that in a long time. I really needed it. Our PSA focused on parenting skills and referring to the manual. I think many times parents need some outside guidance and don't know where to go to find it. I also enjoyed having the opportunity to talk to RJ. He is so adorable. He and I really enjoyed talking to each other. Thank you Cathy for sharing RJ and allowing me to have that opportunity.

Again

Today we had a 2 hour DWPD for Angel. The enthusiasm of the teachers was exciting to see. We watched the video again on Web2.0. It was even more impressive the second time around. I enjoyed watching the intense looks on the faces of the teachers in the room. They were totally engaged. But as I g;anced around the room, I could see the light bulbs going off. They were excited where this new adventure was going to take them. They could see the possibilities for the next school year. They were thinking about ways to make their normal lessons more engaging and exciting for their new batch of digital natives in the fall.

Wikis

Wikis are so cool! I really enjoyed creating the wiki for my school. It was exciting to see the transformation of the entry. Absolutely amazing.

Leadership Class

I have really enjoyed the information that is being presented in the leadership class. It is interesting. These articles definitely apply to my role as an ITRT.
