1.WebQuest Training
2. I trained my first grade team on WebQuests.
3. The TF standards: ****
4. Spring 2011
5. 4 hours, after school over 2 days
6. A description of the population involved:
• Race/Ethnicity: White
• Subgroups: Teachers
• Role/Grade Level of Faculty/Staff: First Grade
7. Reflection (Answer the questions below):
• What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this
field experience? This was interesting because it went from me just sharing with my team the WebQuest that I created to showing them how to create a WebQuest! My team is loving me taking these classes and learning so much that I can take it back to them!
• How did this learning relate to the knowledge (what you must know), skills (what
you must be able to do) and dispositions (attitudes, beliefs, enthusiasm) required of a
technology facilitator? Knowledge: I must know before hand which site to host these WebQuest would best serve my teams needs. I also need to know what type of information do they need to know in order to be successful in creating their own WebQuest. Skills: I must be able to have access to the internet and Wikispaces (the site I chose for my team to use). I have to be able to show them the easiest, and most effective way to create a WebQuest. Disposition:I always must be positive!! If I'm positive and excited about showing my team, they, in turn, will become positive and excited about creating their own WebQuest.
• Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed? This helps the students in our school because this gives them another way to learn. Today's student is on the internet and we're using what they do at home to show them the internet is there to help them learn!

Thing #21 Slide Share
I created my slide share on Ning, because I thought that it was a great resource for teaching to use when planning lessons for their students. However, I noticed when I uploaded my picture from my computer to SlideShare, the transitions didn't come over. That's good to know for future SlideShare projects, that way I won't waste time finding the "perfect" transition. PowerPoint presentations have been used for a long time now, and SlideShare can help make those PowerPoint accessible to everyone! It beats having to email the PPT file out! You can just share the link! You can use SlideShare in the classroom to introduce a topic, or you can have the students create a SlideShare presentation!
While exploring SlideShare, I found some great slide shows on animals. One I found was on funny animals. I thought that my first graders would get a hoot looking at all the funny pictures. But, to incorporate it into the standards, I thought they could pick an animal and write why it is the funniest animal of them all. This ties into the persuasive writing standard for this nine weeks, as well and the science standard. You can see all the funny animals below!

Thing #20 JING!
Jing was a lot of fun to play around with! I did my Jing screencast on Glogster, because I thought that would be something that the teachers in my school would use! I had to try it several times though, because something would happen, like I'd get an email, and you'd see it on the screencast, or a phone would ring, etc. But I finally got it right! Jing is a valuable training tool for our peers. We can create tutorials that they can watch anytime! We can use Jing for not only teaching other teachers, but we can use Jing to show our students and their parents how to use these internet tools. We use skills tutor at my school, and I thought that it would be great if I had used Jing to show parents how to used Skills Tutor at home, then I probably wouldn't have had so many questions about it! A third way to use Jing, is by having the kids create one! One of the standards is to have the students create a how to writing. This is a perfect tool to help the students create how to writings, because they can show and tell how to do something first, using Jing. For the younger ones, we can create a screencast as a class, and the students can write about it! Here's my screencast on Glogster:

1.HTML Code and Video Embedding Training
2. I trained teachers on how to add videos to her blog using the HTML code.
3. The TF standards: TF-V.a, TF-V.c, TF-V.d
4. Spring 2011
5. 4 hours, after school over 2 days
6. A description of the population involved:
• Race/Ethnicity: White
• Subgroups: Teachers
• Role/Grade Level of Faculty/Staff: First Grade and Second Grade
7. Reflection (Answer the questions below):
• What did you learn about technology facilitation and leadership from completing this
field experience? I learned that many people at my school are interested in improving their classroom blogs and communication with their student's parents
• How did this learning relate to the knowledge (what you must know), skills (what
you must be able to do) and dispositions (attitudes, beliefs, enthusiasm) required of a
technology facilitator? Knowledge: I must know how much the person I am training knows before beginning. I cannot assume that they know what HTML is, and how to find it on their blog. Skills: I must be able to have access to the internet and TypePad, our blog host website. I have to be able to show the best way (meaning easiest) to use and showing them that they can do it! Disposition: I must be positive and encouraging! This is a new concept, and the teacher may feel lost, or confused so I need to help guide her and show her that she can do it!
• Describe how this field experience impacted school improvement, faculty
development or student learning at your school. How can the impact be assessed? This helps teachers relate information to their students and parents. By being able to upload videos to their blog, they can share with the parents what their children are doing in school, and what they can do at home to help facilitation continuous learning.
