TRT @ CVNP Teacher-Ranger-Teacher Wrap up

TRT @ CVNP
I am a "feast or famine" kind of gal. All or nothing they say and my blog life is apparently following that path too. I've gone months without posting and then suddenly I have time and energy to post multiple times a day.

I've completed my Teacher-Ranger-Teacher, (TRT), duties and it has been a busy and exciting year. I wanted to share the feeling in this Animoto show. Click on the link or photograph above to view.

Technology Touches

This Tagexdo word cloud was for an e-Facilitator training course and a great way to run inventory on what the course highlighted. The word cloud is easy to use and has a big payoff. One's motivated to continue to finish the project to see the end result. The personal choices that your allowed to make on the way makes the process that much sweeter. This is a must due for any classroom. It doesn't require a lot of time but access to computers, Internet, etc.

Adding Technology Touches

One of my collaborating colleagues heard about Voki and wanted to try it. I wanted to play around with it and see how easy it would be to use and then brainstorm some ways we could use it with students. My own son saw me working on it and decided he was going to use a similar app on his ipod to have a "face-off' with me. His version of me was so flattering. I told him he'd obviously won- after all he knows how I look better than I do since I have to look in a mirror! I'm still exploring this tool, so I'll add updates.
