 * 1.B.1 || [[file:Preliminary_Report_on_ActivClassroom_20090417112310.pdf]] || This is a copy of the study done about electronic whiteboards. || This research provides data that shows that electronic whiteboards can positively impact student achievement. ||
 * 1.B.2 || [[file:moodle boot camp 1 screen shot.doc]]

|| Moodle was used for the summer boot camp professional development. || This moodle provides us with a model of an online learning tool. The hope is that the size of files can be increase so that we can make the moodle even more interactive. ||
 * 1.B.3 || 2nd grade digital story from Mr. Osmun's class

media type="custom" key="4801779" || The students were using the computers to learn about landforms. || Students used the computers in the lab for the first time. They were shown how to use basic features of powerpoint to create a landform project. Then one project from each group was selected and converted into jpeg files which were then imported into photo story where the students could then create a movie with their files. The amount of information shown to the students was basic for this first project. The students did a good job of remembering what they were shown about powerpoint. Each time we do a new project additional features and tools within the software will be shared and with each digital story additional features for that tool will be shared as well. Students also caught on quickly as to how to use the audio tool in Photo Story. ||
 * 1.B.4 || Moodle

Survey Monkey Toys to Tools by Liz Kolb || The district has its own moodle server. This artifact is a link to that server. The survey monkey is a tool that the district subscribes to within which a number of surveys have been created. I read Toys to Tools by Liz Kolb and want to learn more about how to utilize cell phones for educational purposes. || Students and teachers can access the moodle 24/7 from any location that has internet access. Survey Monkey has been utilized to create a variety of surveys within the district. I have used it for boot camp evaluations. In September 2009 I created a survey for the three elementary buildings to use for their behaviorial interventions assessment data collection for staff.

As cell phones become more powerful and equiped with additional tools educators need to find ways to integrate the tools these phones provide. The graduate class I will be teaching during the Spring of 2009 will include investigation into how to best utilize cell phones. ||
 * 1.B.5 || Email

Moodle Edline Google || The district provides email addresses for all students grades 4-12. Moodle is available for all staff members to provide online instruction. Edline is available for every teacher to provide parents and students access to grades In addition, each teacher has their own edline page for each class they teach on which they can put information and resources. Google is a tool that I hope to continue to explore and expand use of within the district. || Email has been helpful for student to communicate with teachers. In addition, it has helped students as they build their tool bag of web-based tools. When they forget account login information or need to confirm accounts they are able to do this through their school email. Moodle is available to every teacher within the district grade 4-12 for online instruction to be created for students. As of this year the students in K-3 have obtained user logins and passwords so this may at some point make moodle available to students at the primary level. However, elementary teachers can currently have access to a moodle as a means of communicating and providing information for parents. Edline has been great for teachers to post information and files for students and parents. In addition, it has allowed parents and students to have continual access to grades. Google has been used to communicate with key users and others. This is a useful tool that provides multiple users to collaborate and communicate via documents. It is hoped that expansion of google tools use is something that can be done during the summer staff development of 2010. || return to Content
