Invitation to share with the community of technology pioneers at CMS and beyond.

With the 1:1 laptop and ipad roll out this year at CMS, we have experienced all sorts of emotions associated with our ability levels and confidence when it comes to technology in the classroom.  My goal with this blog is not only to share what I am using, but open this up to the rest of the educational community at CMS, the schools in USD 373, and beyond to share how they use technology in the classroom.

So, here is what I am asking from you.....  Each Saturday (or before) I will be posting a new examples of what is happening in the classroom only as moderator as the blog.  I am hoping at all of you will help me create ideas/content to be posted here.  The only stipulation is that you have tried it in your room.  The positives, the negatives....even how you used it will be helpful to those reading this blog for inspiration or ideas.

Ipad users, even though I am on a laptop, please help us out with apps that are working!

So here would be a sort of template that I would like to follow....(I will help gather information if needed)

Thanks for your time, input, and/or comments.  We all need support as we become digital pioneers with our students that are digital natives.

Title:  Name of App/Website (this will become what people can search)

Address and/or cost of the app/website:   (do you have to download the app, does it cost, does it need to be pushed out from ETC....)

What the app/website does: You can use the description of the website, or use the KIS principle....Keep...It....Simple

How you used it:
Please include pics of either the process or the final project (screenshots work for this)
I have included how to take screenshots on both the laptops and the ipads.  Student pics would also work.

Tutorials online or who helped it you with it:  Was this a tech Thursday idea?  Did you watch a youtube video on how to do it?  Give credit to those who are helping us navigate through this new technology.

Optional:
Are you willing to help a person use it in their classroom (We are uber busy and don't have enough time for ourselves....but if you are willing, people will probably take you up on that!)

If you have something you would like to share on my blog...please fill out this form.
