Welcome!

Wow, our membership has really picked up the last two weeks. I want to make sure that everyone knows about Amber's lesson plan wiki. It's a great resource! You will find a link to it right below this message.
Heidi suggested a Clustrmap widgit, great idea so that's up and running. If you have any other suggestions for improving the Ning feel free to share your idea(s) with me.

Computer Lab Rules & Procedures 9 Replies

I met with Ruth Glenboski last week to discuss ideas, etc. (it was great!), and while we were chatting I caught a glimpse of her Rules and Procedures PowerPoint. This prompted me to get busy doing ...

I'm LOVING this site! It's an online children's book creator, and it is fabulous. I've just discovered it and created a small book, so not sure of the ins and outs yet, but I'm totally excited over...

Do you have a SMARTBoard or other IWB? 13 Replies

I have a SMARTBoard in both of the labs I teach at. I have been a huge proponent of them since seeing one in use at a conference. I think that they have the potential to change the paradigm in the ...

Tech Club

Does anyone have a Tech Club at their school? If so, I would love to hear how and what it consists of. I will be taking over our school's Tech Club this year and currently have no idea exactly what I will do. Some of the ideas I have been bantering around are: Create Tech Mentors Create Internet Safety Mentors Create a Podcast show (video or audio) Repair computers that have been donated and redistribute them Field Trips: Radio Station, TV Station, and various technology related jobs in the are… Continue

Internet Safety Curriculum

I am currently at school working on my K-8 Internet Safety Curriculum. I got some great ideas at NECC 2008 and finally narrowed them all down. Our state passed a bill requiring schools to have an internet safety curriculum in place. Most of my materials and resources came from www.netsmartz.org and www.cybercurriculum.org. I primarily used Cybercurriculum for K-6 and Netsmartz for my 7th and 8th grade. Due to time constraints… Continue

NECC

My goal for today is to look through my notes, brochures, business cards and handouts from NECC and begin to put all that good information into one place.

I'm going to post information from each session in a separate forum discussion. I think t… Continue

gmail accounts

Do any of you have gmail accounts for your students? We are thinking of allowing our 4th/5th grade students to sign up for gmail next year in order to use google docs, etc. However, we do not want to be responsible for them or liable if anything goes wrong. We have an AUP for the high school students, but I am looking for some sort of policy or permission form that addresses email on the elementary level. I also want to hear about anyone's experiences with using gmail with students.We are hoping… Continue
