Notes_11.30.06

Requests: Can Scott/James put the morning PowerPoint and the list of participants on this page? Note: presentation posted in Navigation links

What do you want for the Jan 18th session? __Our "Homework"__ Thanks Davetta for getting these notes started!
 * Vista: demonstration of new features at CREC: 12.5.06
 * Demonstration & practice with Inspire Data,(similar to Tinkerplots, mady by Inspiration). You can download a 30 day trial at [|www.inspiration.com]
 * How to get these sites unblocked at my district?
 * Classroom Performance systems: practice with a model from eInstruction
 * Develop and model 2 applications for use in my classroom/district
 * Others???
 * 1) Visit the wiki site and get comfortable with it.
 * 2) Make and use your personal site on wiki or the e-school site - discussion board questions, respond to atleast one on e-school site - 321 Reflection in the quiz section
 * 3) (optional) Skype tool; search for Scott: edtech111; jamestyap - video conference with them - does this have a professional application in your school environment. Note: once you download and install the app on your system, the CEN filter should not affect your use of Skype.
 * 4) After all this, decide what we want to spend our next three hours doing. Decide by January 10. (Some ideas are above)

Reminder: if you are using a public computer, log out of the Wiki site when you are done. I am actually entering this info on Karen Marshall's computer under her profile. Less of an issue on your own personal or work system. :-) Scott

More topics/places to explore: Re: blocking sites we want to use: http://techlearning.com/blog/main/archives/leadership/index.html What's the inverse of use?

**More** resources we want to save and share for educational use of wikis.
1. [|www.wikiwhileyouwork.wikispaces.com] : this wiki will provide some examples of using wikis in education. 2. [|Wiki Walk-Through from TeachersFirst] Dec 7, 2006 3:16 pm The good people over at TeachersFirst have taken their expertise in providing clear, concise and... some othe stuff about Wikis in education. 3. http://www.wikispaces.com/help+Teachers More help for techers using wikis. By the way, if you email Wikispaces and request to remove the advertising, they will. Just have to state the site will be used for education only. Yahoo!!
