Technology Proposal -- Success

Hooray!!!! Hooray for me and the students at Avondale House.  I met with my principal today about my proposal I presented to the committee last month.  I want to see how everything was progressing.  I received the best news because of my proposal packet was a hit  with the CEO therefore  Avondale will be purchase new SMART boards, MOBI viewers, and ELMO document cameras for the school.  Every meeting or presentation I arranged was excellent along with the detailed proposal packet it was the finally push they needed to make the decision to purchase new equipment for the students and teachers.  I am overjoyed because my action research plan is becoming a reality.  After two years and a little assistance for me, my principal's dream for Avondale is coming true.  Once the equipment is in place I will post photographs of the classes and get the teachers reaction to their new tools.   Can  I get a WHOO for Technology.

WHOO !!!!

Savvy Techs

Savvy Techs is the name of my group. This experience has been a good one because my team and I have great continuity and we respect each others point of view. The two ladies within my good are awesome, even thought we may work at different levels of teaching we are still able to obtain a common goal, creating an informative final project. This week will be interesting because we will discuss the final shots to our video. The types of matter is the main focus of our project and the students will be the center of the video they will be conducting the experiment. This will allow the students to instruct their fellow classmates on how matter changes. My group feels this would be used has an anticipatory set or a teaching tool for other 3rd grade classes. I can't wait to see the final product. This semester has be a time for learning and experimenting with new Web 2.0 tools for me and I've had my ups and downs with these tools.
