5 - NEW TECHNOLOGIES Wiki Wordle Skype Prezzi Voice Thread

4 - IDEAS Use Skype for potential class speakers or to discuss class topics with other classrooms in the county (with permission of course) Use a Wiki page for a book discussion (I'm an Englis teacher) Use Wordle as a review technique at the end of a unit Use the video creation websites (like the xtranormal one) for students to create their own stories, plays, etc. so that they too can become an author.

3 - PRINCIPLES Representation Expression Engagement All 3 principles are used to incorporate all learners.

2 - CHANGES I want to incorporate more blog or wiki related homework with reading discussion questions instead of constant pen and paper responses. I want to incorporate more technological choice instead of just PowerPoint. I don't want my lack of techonological experience to impair my students. So with them I want to create a list of presentation options so that they have more options for projects.

1 - BIG IDEA I want to open the year with my honors English 10 students creating a "This I Believe" (from NPR) but using Voice Thread to bring it all together.

Culminating Activity for Me, Bob, and Keisha:

Reflection #6: I feel excited but apprehensive as well. I have tons of awesome ideas and page upon page of notes so that excites me. My apprehension simply comes from the slight fear that always comes with trying something new but that will dissipate with practice and time. I only hope that once the daily grind of school life begins that I do take these ideas and begin to incorporate them immediately. I'm sure I will though!!! I already have great ideas for presentation choices and videos I'm excited to infuse. So I'm grateful for the info I received in this class.
