Sign Me Up!

I signed up for two cyber safety workshops. One is with I-safe at the IU on March 13th in the afternoon. I am looking forward to the workshop. I plan on meeting up with a friend who is also in the Instructional Technology Specialist Masters program. This will certify me to be able to teach other teachers in my school district. I will also be attending a workshop on March 9 th at the Middle School. This is really directed to parents in the community but I would like to hear what the presenter will suggest for parents to do at home with the Internet. (5hrs)

I also signed up for a Power Media workshop on Feb 22nd. I will be able to bring this back to our teachers at the high school if their interested in learning about it. Its kind of hard right now when we only have two smart boards available to all teachers in the building. There are five smart boards (I think five) in the English department but they are not accessible to all teachers. Our Tech Director is saying that within two years we will see more Smart boards in the building. (2hrs)

I signed up for a TI workshop in Wilmington DE using the Graphing Calculator in an Algebra class. I asked a math teacher I teach with and also a teacher who is the Technology Instructional Specialist program with me at the IU. I hope to learn more ways to use the graphing calcualtor other than for graphing. Or at least learn more ways to use the graphing features to explore more math concepts! (4hrs)
