I'm getting good , We are discussing PLC showcase. You tube ????? Maybe Achieve 3000.

Is blogging a necessary evil?  I can see how it can be helpful.  Being fluent in the programs we use such as school loop should be achieved first.  I have a great need to become more fluent in the technological methods of communication with each of my classes.  Blogging is blogging and can be achieved with other programs and just not limited to a blogging specific software.  The most important aspect of blogging is using the technology we have available to communicate with our students

We are  brainstorming ideas for Wed. Dec. 12.  I would like to set up a blog to showcase student artwork.  I have created a blog called "Wyandotte Art Creations".   I still need to learn to import pictures of student work and learn how to invite others to view the work.  

Our PLC challenge today is to decide what we are going to showcase on Wednesday, December12th in the Social Hall.

Today we are discussing how we might organize our individual and group efforts into a presentation for December 12th.

Questions before the group:
1. What do we want each student to learn?
     We want each student to be able to use blogging to impact their learning.
2. How will we assess their learning?
     Observe student blogs.
3.  How will we respond when students have trouble?
     Refer to the Google Video for help.

Our group is having so much fun blogging to each other.

Every week is new and exciting during our PLC. It's great how eager we are to help each other.We are a work in progress.

Today we are further exploring the world of Modern Software Packages.  My time with the group will be cut a little short today because the Special Education Department has a Webinar about our computerized IEP system Webkidss.

I enjoy blogging but I am still learning. It is hard to remember things from one week to the next.

Today has been interesting.  Some students said they did not understand the Code Red.  One even tried to walk out to go to the counselor for a scheduled appointment.  Another was worried about his appointment.  I had to reassure them their appointments would happen after the code red was canceled.

I'm learning how to create a form, so I can get feed back at the end of my classes.

I'm still learning to navigate my way around the Blogger web.  I'm learning a little more each week.

I enjoy the time we spend together in our PLC working to improve our technology skills in an effort to impact student learning. Every week is a new exciting learning experience.

Modern Software packages:

1. We are still exploring blogging to try to become proficient.
2. Eventually, we want to be able to help students use blogging as an educational tool.
3.We want to continue to individually become more adapt in our technology skills.

I'm still learning to navigate the Blogger webpage.  I'm finding out more about how to use this each week.  Ultimately, this information will be shared with students so that they may use it to exchange information with other students and me.

We are still playing with blogging to get more proficient so we can use it in the classroom to benefit students. 

Trying to find my way around this maze of electronic communication.  I would whole heartedly embrace it if I could take it to heaven with me. 

wonders never cease

Miracles!!!!  This is my first time doing this.  Somehow I got to this point.  Hopefully I can remember this.

 I 'm still playing with it :)

Here we are hard at work blogging to improve student performance!!!!!

I was actually able to help three people in our PLC. I still feel like we are the blind leading the blind, but we will continue to try to help each other as much as possible!!

In our PLC today, we continued our work on familiarizing ourselves with blogging procedures.
