It has been a while since I have posted on my blog. I have been very busy assisting my teachers at both of my buildings. TSIP Online Course, PBS Teacherline Courses, VT Courses and much much more have filled up my calendar before, during and/or after school.

Now it is time to get ready for TEACH Academy. Thank you to all of my teachers that have signed up for sessions. You will have a wonderful time!

I am assisting with the GPS session on Monday, June 22, 2009. I will be presenting “A Day of Discovery” session on Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I am assisting with the ”IBlog, You Blog” session on Wednesday, June 24, 2009.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Wilson High School.

The Inauguration will take place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. The TSS and I have worked very hard to make sure that teachers and students are able to see this Historical Event. There are TVs in the building that have been set up to view the Inauguration. We have also set up some of the MCPS/Promethean rooms to view this historical event.

If anyone is looking for lesson plans or other activities for the Inauguration, please see the following links below:

October is Computer Learning Month

October is Computer Learning Month. According to the Computer Learning Foundation, “Computer Learning Month is a time to try new ways of using technology, to learn new technology products, and to share knowledge with others in your local community about how to use technology.” Take time this month to learn something new and complete those computer-related tasks you have been putting off.

MCPS/Promethean Update:

The teachers at Hodges Manor and Lakeview are off to a “GREAT” start. The MCPS and Promethean equipment are constantly being used to integrate technology in some ”AWESOME” lessons. I have teachers sharing ideas with each other and I have teachers who have asked to observe each other.

We have began our MCPS/Promethean User groups. The teachers enjoyed learning new ways to use the equipment/tools in their lessons.

Way to go!
