Technology, Learning and Assessment

Well class, every one of you taught me something I didn’t know today. As you worked on your projects you pushed into new areas with each online tool. In the current parlance we acted as a professional learning community as you each shared in the continuous cycle of learning and teaching.

• Deb, yes the Edublogs Plugins are a good thing. Colored text and more editing options. Who knew??
• Theresa, I needed your patience for the Audacity lesson, you may have future in radio.
• Nancy, I now know some shortcuts in Office that you learned at AtomicLearning.com.
• Anne, you have taken Voicethread into new realms, now I’ll have to come observe you using your SmartBoard.
• Barbara, I’ve found that I remember a few things about working on a PC and that working in two platforms is very doable in one classroom.
• Mary, we almost lost you to YouTube, but I have new arguments for why that shouldn’t be blocked at school.
• Erin, after I helped you upload pictures and documents to your wikispace I went back and relearned that I could upload documents to a Edublog post (let’s see, what would Homer Simpson say right about now!?!?!?)
