I am looking forward to part II of this class. I have already used some of the technology I have learned about in my open house with parents, and with my students. My students are just as excited as I am about this class. - Nicole
I can not wait to try the document camera as a tool to facilitate read alouds and graphic organizers in the classroom!
ohhh I also liked the clickers alot!
I am still excited about using these technogogies within my classroom. I look forward to using the clickers in reading checks and review for tests and quizzes.
I am really excited about having time to experiment with these new tech tools -- creating a blog that I can use frequently in my classroom as well as learning to use the clickers in class. To be honest, I was surprised at how interested I was about the clickers. It's a great hook for kids as well as a great way to present a lesson and immediately assess student learning.

Hello Mary,
I'm looking forward to using the clickers in conjunction with a practice SAT test for my juniors (and potentially MCAS practice tests for my sophomores). I'm looking forward to continuing what we started in June. Here's to a great fall!
I am looking forward to creating some SAT practice exercises to be used with the Senteo clickers.
I also want to re-activate my blog for literature. I may use it with a writing workshop that I am teaching for peer feedback.
I want to try the document cameras as soon as possible with my AP class so that we can immediately critique in-class writing assignments. I also plan to try the clickers for SAT review questions and perhaps with my 9th graders for mythology review games.
Hey Mary, Great class. I am really wanting to develop my blog for both my Psych class and my AP history class. Do you have any clues as to how to post Newsweek, Psychology Today, Boston Globe or New York Times articles without paying subscription fees? Also, I'm really interested in getting a lap top. Any hints on how to write a grant for one? Thanks for your help.
I am looking foward to exploring the new technology that the school has purchased. I liked the clickers and am very interested in utalizing the smartboard to teach my students how to use some of the programs on the computer.
I am really impressed with the clickers. I think there are a lot of implications for those. I'd also like to explore the document camera. That would be fun to use when we hatch chicks in the classroom. We can hook it up to the incubator. Fun Fun Fun!!

I call the clickers next! I'm excited about using the tablet in my class...I think the kids will eat it up! I only hope that the school system can support all the cool stuff that we want to do. Finally we're moving into the 21st century!
Wow!! I am looking forward to experimenting with new technology. The trick, as always, how to intergrate technology as a tool to facilitate learning. All to often technology is used as a flashy gizmo. I often find I need to fool around with stuff and discover how technology can help students learn.
I am also excited about all of this new technology coming into our district. I am interested in exploring the smartboards to see what I can do with them at the primary level.
I cannot wait to get the sentio clickers at THMS. Can we have them after LHS for MCAS review made fun?
Ken-a-vision will also make homework, test corrections quicker and more meaningful
I need to test this, I typed a whole long comment, but I don't see it posted!!
Okay, it worked! I hope we have a tablet and especially the projector at the elementary school. I can't wait to try the clickers. Fifth graders will go wild over them. I'd like to use them for pre-tests and little "What we know about..." activities. Also for math assessments or individualized work. I agree with Peggy - it would be cool to divide the class in half and have like a game show contest using the clicker instant feedback. Anything to get them jazzed up!!
I am looking forward to trying out the clickers. I'm feeling scattered in terms of where to concentrate my energy and time. I want to integrate this with my new online textbook. - Jessie
Thanks for the introduction to the new tools on the cart. I'm thinking of integrating a work of art with the use of the clickers (providing Peggy will share her knowledge and experience with her first "go around.")
I have been playing around with the Senteo Smart Technologies since we left class. I have created assessment with the multiple choice questions. I am having trouble getting the green light to work on the receiver. I will try at school tomorrow. I also have played around with inserting video. You can definitely insert the video link but so far I haven't figured out how to embedd it in the slide.
There is definitely a lot of possibilities with this!
Peggy
Help! I know that it was previously stated that we don't have the right USB drives for the document camera. Mine seems to fit without a problem. So, I've been trying to install the software. I deleted flash from my desktop (the icons) but I know this doesn't uninstall. Where can find flash on my computer? I tried All Programs, and Accessories? Thanks.
Jessie
