MDE IN 2007
Lots of possibilities for 2007 with the MDE program. Results of this year's EETT
grants should be coming out in the near future.
There will be a spring meeting I hope. There are 4 or 5 planned summer
institutes. There may be weekend involvement. After being
trained to be a classroom observer from the University of Memphis, our services
may be requested to observe classrooms in various counties.
I did submit my name for Hillsborough county.

GRANT AWARDED
Good news! I received a $300 Pasco County Education Foundation grant. My
grant is "Podcasting Improves Fluency". This is part of my Professional
Development Plan and action research for this school year (2006-2007). I will be
working with students on read alouds and we will make podcasts available
schoolwide through our school web site (http://dpes.pasco.12.fl.us).

Digital Educators are

Individually we are all going through lifes ups and downs, trials and tribulations,
hopes and fears.

TALLAHASSEE TLSI 2006
I was in Tallahassee this week presenting for the Teaching and Learning Summer
Institute. I did two sessions on Graphic
Organizers, specifically Inspiration. My co-presenter was Angee. We had fun!
Some of the participants had prior knowledge, but
we showed them how to hyperlink, use Word Guide, and record audio.
On Day two my co- presenter was Cheryl and our topic was Podcasting. Very few
had any knowledge of what, how or why and that
was fun showing them podOmatic.com.
Day three was a full work day for the collaborative projects. I was able to offer
one on one assistance and even little break out sessions on
podcasting.
Day four arrived and we were so impressed with the projects the individual teams
presented. Hard work and lots was learned.
I value what I learned on the Windows machines.
