This week:
I hosted Tuesday's Tweet session. This was a lot of fun. I've come a long way from not even knowing what a tweet was only a couple of months ago! I can now navigate myself around TweeDeck!
I bought and downloaded a new app, "Too Loud". This was mentioned in someone's blog I read last week. Sorry, I do not remember who it was, but THANK YOU! It works wonders in my classroom.
I opened my classroom to my principal for her to practice with our new teacher evaluation tool, iObservation. She came in and observed for 15 minutes and entered her data directly into the computer. She submitted it and we both looked at the results. It is a great program and I look forward to this new method of receiving valuable feedback. The old model was not very useful.
I think I can honestly say I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The step-by-step process has made this overwhelming project more manageable. I have learned a lot. For one I have increased my technological vocabulary: Word clouds, Twitter, Weebly, TweetDeck, Survey Monkey to name a few.
This week: I plan to continue writing my paper and I hope to use some of the technology mentioned by my classmates to illustrate my data. I have only just written my results in narrative form.
What I have learned though my PLN: I still have much more to research as we continue with Writer's Workshop throughout the year. My grade-level team as well as my principal are very interested in my results.
