Workshop Participants' Products
Jefferson M. Pagett - I have created a blog for the use in Physics labs. Ideally it will have the pre-lab for each lab as an individual thread as well as a few questions that the students should be able to answer before starting the lab which they will answer through Survey Monkey. Now the tough part begins as I have to combine and modify my current labs and write the questions that I want the students to be able to answer. [|Click here]

Julie Clark- I have created a narrative writing wiki.

Jenn Corsi- I created an ePals account with the hopes that my students will become more interested in writing and have the opportunity to learn about other countries and cultures. I have to wait 24 hours before I am approved and can start looking for a class or classes. Sorry no link to go to.

Kim, Suzanne and Dianne's voicethread on insects: [|Voicethread]

Sandy and Robin - We have a couple of projects in the works. 1) Beginning of the year survey on technology comfort level of students usind Survey Monkey 2) We plan to do a Voice Thread for our simple machines unit. where students describe a simple machine. Students will feature photos of the machines. We have drafted a script to get them used to using this audio tool. 3) We created a Wiki page for students to record new and unusual vocabulary words they have encountered while reading our first novel of the year "Skinnybones". We are waiting approval for the K-12 update so that multiple students can access the Wiki. 4) Here is an internet scavenger hunt to build background and introduce students to "just right" sites and online reading skills."

Pam Sigular: I have attempted to create a blog for my 6th grade students in the fall. I'm thinking that the purpose will be to keep students writing and reading others' reflections about readings. [|Click here to link to blog]

Missy Albano - I created a blog to allow my students to answer pre-lab questions and to comment or ask questions about lab procedures on my Chem blog.

Julia Casselman: I am posting my Diigo bookmarks (http://www.diigo.com/user/julialc1) for the students to see and read the stickies. The stickies tell them what to look for in the webpage and what to think about and share on the blog. The blog is created, but I'm still working on figuring out how the students will comment.

Christy: I made a wiki with page of writing samples for students to practice their revision skills while learning about Six Traits of Writing. Click here.

Mary Anne's First Grade Nature Watching Project: I have created a Wiki for our first grade unit on weather. We will take a picture of a maple tree in the front yard f the school each month. We'll also observe the temperature, weather conditions, wind, etc. We'll also observe birds, insects, etc. []
