SRS 2.0

Earlier this summer I joined a few Nings- I joined one about Laptop Learning which I have found very beneficial to gather ideas from other educators. I also joined one about global collaboration. One of the neat projects I participated in this past weekend was a video conferencing session with educators in Europe, Asia, Australia, and throughout the United States. As I was partaking in the session, I could only think about the question that I now had, how can we have our students participate in global collaboration.

Today, I had the opportunity to attend a learning session about the new iLife and the new iWork. With my PHT Wishlist money I purchased iWork ‘08 for our students. This year we will be using “Pages” to create our yearbook.

I was asked, what is your plan for this year? Well, there are a few other small projects. I will be starting a journalism club for students in Grades 5-8, there we will work on the yearbook but also we will work on learning some of the many tools that SRS offers.
