Our district is having technology training on Tuesday's. It is voluntary for people to participate. So far I have attended a session on Google Search by Sara Berceau, very useful tool to assist students in using sites that have the type of information required for the activity.
I facilitated a session on PowerGrade Book, this was a required session for high faculty. All faculty for 1 faculty meeting had to pick from 3 options for staff development. I had almost 10 teachers in the room and I was glad to know that John Steltz was able to learn at least 1 helpful tip on putting in grades easier. I know that I was covering materials too fast and did allow for discussion, but I just so much to share. So next time I will pair down what I will cover.
Today I gave a session on how to create an Animoto video and to apply for a teacher account. The teacher account give you access for 6 months to make full length videos. Otherwise with the free account you can only make 30 second videos. I had three teachers attend the session and they said they liked it. I hope so.
I truly enjoyed the session. Animoto is such a cool tool....I hadn't even created an account until your session. Your session gave me the opportunity to try. Thanks for sharing your passion!!!
