Jing, PhotoStory, Wordle, Google Docs, and video resources were my favorite tools that I found very useful. I can see the TWE staff using Google Docs for ease of keeping up with calendar activities and shared team documents. I can see my students using PhotoStory. This would be a great opportunity to build collaboration, writing skills, and show their creativity.
Incorporating technology into lessons will be much easier now that I know how to use them and I think the students will be much more engaged because it will not sound like the same old thing. Just like the Activboard excited the teacher and students, I can see where the itouch, ipad, and netbooks will add to that excitement.
The unexpected outcome for me was that I found so many new ways to be creative in the classroom that I can actually do! I will most likely use Atomic Learning for a refresher when it comes down to implementing a certain skill, but knowing that I was able to create some new projects was very exciting for me.
Congratulations on completing the process in record time! I can see you've been busy these last couple of days with several postings being made. I'm impressed with the sample products you've posted and the comments you've included on your blog. It's obvious that you're ready to roll with lots of great ideas for next year. You go girl!!
