We're off with a bang as members of the Park Center community begin to explore new technologies to enhance their practice and update their communication potential. With 42 people currently participating in the program, it's already a smashing success, in my opinion. It's great to see the dialog that has already begun as people discuss Sir Ken Robinson's video about schools killing creativity in students. Check it out, if you haven't already, and add your insights to the mix.
A few program notes for participants:
1. Because of the popularity of the program, it will be easier on the program administrator (that's me) if you mark an "X" in the cell of the Google spreadsheet at http://d279.us/5TTTss so I can then mark you off on the official spreadsheet as having completed it. If this is beyond your understanding, just send me a quick e-mail: hilgendorfd at district279.org. I will not track the completion of challenge activities.
2. Blogs add the most recent posting at the top and continue in reverse chronological order. To find an older post, you can use the archive menu in the right navigational pane, scroll down to it on the main pane, or search for it in the search bar at the top of the right pane.
3. Now all registered blogs for 5TTT program participants can be found in the right navigational pane. If yours is not there, let Dhaivyd know right away: hilgendorfd AT district279.org
The Technology Teaching Tools program allows staff to learn about new technology tools that might be useful in their work. Participants can complete the requirements for each tool on their own by the day of the next month's optional lab time. Lab times are on Mondays, 8:05am-2:15pm for the 2012-13 school year: 10/29; 11/26; 12/17; 1/14; 2/25; 3/18; 4/15; and 5/20. Completing a tool can take as little as one hour. There are nine tools.
