I am a pre-service educator at BGSU. I am learning about multiple technology sources and how I could incorporate them into my future classroom. While I am familiar with technology, I take a long time to get used to new programs. For example, IMovie, Garage Band, and Glogster. As a future educator, should I put a lot of work into making an extremely high quality project, which took hours to make, or should I just shoot for the best work that my students will understand. I have a hard time turning in things that aren't the best of my abilities. However, this new technology seems very time consuming. Any suggestions on how I can tackle the use of technology into my classroom? For example, how often should I include a high quality technology lesson?

I agree, Kelisa!  It was great to see what others are doing in their rooms with the NEOs!

I enjoyed watching peers share their ideas on how to use the NEOs.  I learned some great ideas:  using the capture to create a SB to use with 2Know Tool, spelling test with 100% and I'm looking forward to assigning names with NEOs for more accountability.

I love my new ipad! I am using the ideas I learned from e-tech.

I had a great time at e-tech on Monday and Tuesday. My favorite session was learning about different apps to use in the classroom with ipads/ipods. The presenter showed us some of her favorite apps and how she uses them in her classroom.

See you there! (OETC in Columbus, Feb. 13-15, 2012)

We had a great TESS meeting today. We outlined how the rest of the year will go with TESS. I am really looking forward to the conference in Columbus.

I am trying to get GoogleDocs all set up and ready to use with our NEOs. We have the emails set, but now need to become familiar with sending and retrieving from GoogleDocs. Hopefully we can work on some of our writing pieces and they can send them home to finish.

Sounds great!  I'm excited to talk to you all at the OETC conference. :)

Looking forward to our NEO training tomorrow.  We will be changing things up a bit and trying to create more of a critical friends group instead of the traditional PD feel.  So excited!
