Holiday Party

Make a Smilebox greeting

Too Cool!

Received an invitation to Big Sur Technologies' holiday party at Whiskey North in Tampa for December 13. Dinner and drinks starting at 6PM.

Spoke with Jeremy Jackson this week about my recent purchase of 20 copies of Pixie. Was happy when he invited me to demo Pixie in the Tech4Learning booth at FETC in January.

Of course, our District is in dire straits for funds, as we all are in Florida. I am waiting for approval to attend FETC. I have funds from the internal media budget...Scholastic Book Fair earnings. Hope I will be there.

Shannon enroute to Mizzou

Attended a farewell dinner for Shannon on Saturday. Was great to see the USF gang- Michael, Roy, BJ, Anna, Jim, Luis and more. Shannon looks happy and content with her decision. Had the chance to see C David and Nancy.

$300 Grant

Received word that I am the recipient of a $300 grant that I submitted for Pixie and Digital Storytelling. I hope to hear from Jeremy Jackson about coming to Deer Park Elementary. I have several other tech specialists interested in Pixie. Perhaps he can share the program with them.

I also have $86 from the fall carnival that I will put towards Pixie. Hoping to get 16 copies to start. I will install them on a 16 station MacBook Lab.

Looking forward to sharing the software with fourth graders. They're my target group for the grant. I believe it will be good for K-5.

FDE updates

I found a tentative list of dates for the 2009 summer and thought I'd post it here.

New SmartBoard Arrives

My school has a SmartBoard and I am doing the happy dance. I attended a training given by Patti Palancia the day after the board arrived. I plan on introducing it to my staff and using it for an upcoming Thinkfinity training. I believe the interactive activities I selected from Thinkfinity will be a great demo use of the board. Later I will get Smart Notebook installed on teacher machines. More training will be needed. It was recommended that the board be used by one teacher for three weeks. This would give adequate time to get used to it and to think of ways it can be used for class instruction. We hope to get more in the future.
