The document provides information on confined space entry hazards and safety procedures. It defines what constitutes a confined space, lists common examples, and identifies potential hazards such as oxygen deficiency, flammable atmospheres, toxic gases, and mechanical/electrical dangers. It emphasizes the importance of testing the atmosphere, ventilation, isolation of hazards, conducting a tailgate meeting, and using an entry permit system to ensure safe entry into confined spaces.
This document provides a rationale and resources for teaching about the five senses to kindergarten students using technology. It recommends using websites, YouTube videos, Pinterest boards, podcasts, and apps to make learning about sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fun and interactive. Activities include a Sesame Street video on senses, a Kidspiration diagram for students to describe sensory experiences, and interactive games identifying senses. The document also provides links to general educational resources like NSTA, National Geographic Kids, Scholastic, and Teachers Pay Teachers to find lesson plans and materials about the five senses.

Come take a look at how we use student data to drive (and even detour) our instruction!
1. Virginia Tech uses ePortfolios to support student learning and assessment. ePortfolios allow students to collect work, reflect on their growth, and demonstrate achievement of learning outcomes.
2. ePortfolios balance goals like learning, assessment, professional development, and accreditation. They come in different forms like individual learning portfolios or program assessment portfolios.
3. Implementing ePortfolios well requires defining learning outcomes, including multiple forms of evidence, using rubrics, and evaluating their impact on student learning. Faculty must promote ePortfolios and provide support.

Effective Online Communication and PresentationIain Doherty
This is a presentation that I gave to student teachers at Ningbo Polytechnic on effective online presentation and communication skills. I decided to broaden the presentation out a bit to talk about effective teaching online.
The document discusses the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), a consortium working to develop a common set of K-12 assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards. PARCC's goals are to 1) create high-quality assessments to measure college and career readiness, 2) build a pathway to readiness for all students, 3) support educators, and 4) develop technology-based assessments. The PARCC assessment system will include summative end-of-year assessments as well as optional diagnostic and mid-year assessments to inform instruction.
The webinar provided information about the Montana Digital Academy (MTDA) online learning program for the 2010-2011 school year. It outlined the 43 available online courses, the roles of teachers, districts, and students. Enrollment is currently open and the goal is to have an improved online student management system. Districts play a key role in enrolling and supporting students. The presenters welcomed questions and provided their contact information.
This document provides summaries of 10 educational apps. It describes:

ABC Mouse is interactive but not free after 30 days. Brain Pop aligns with standards and offers differentiation. Hungry Caterpillar Play School uses Eric Carle books for early learning. ABCya engages math and ELA standards for PreK-6th. Bookful provides materials at 5 reading levels for ages 3-8. Freckle adapts exercises in math and ELA based on student progress.
