 * 1st Semester Report

I have sent emails to the staff with many Smartboard websites listed. I have hosted a work day for teachers to explore interactive websites. I have found particular webstites or lessons that teachers that have asked for. Someone wanted an online news program that they could use each day with their class. I found interactive websites for 4th grade that matched their curriculum. I met with my school tech group we made a plan to explore Smartboard lessons and met again to share in January.

Plan find a lesson for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade teachers that they can use in the computer lab.

2nd semester report Implementing your Technology Professional Develoment Plan**
 * Did you accomplish your goal? No I did not. I did not follow through with the folder idea.
 * Building Capacity**- I worked with individual teachers (intermediate) to learn how to use Photo Story 3, I emailed lots of websites with Smartboard lesson ideas, had one work time to explore web sites
 * Incorporating 21st Century learning skills and tools-**my students collobrate with each other, they learned Photo Story 3 to share inforamtion from a field trip, they used WORD to create a poetry book for parents, Internet to research and to do Web Quests, created Podcast broadcasting poems they had written. Many listeded to the podcasts at home and then responded to specific student's poems.


 * Evaluating Effectiveness**--I really don't know about student achievement. They seemed like they really enjoyed doing things in the computer room, and some students created things at home. Many feel very comfortable using WORD. They did a great job creating persuasive essays after researching information on the WEB. With teachers, I did not do a good job with the primary teachers. I hardly ever saw them. I did meet with the new teachers before school started. If I do this job next year I just have to make the time to meet with them.
