Editor's Notes
- Introduce self and qualifications: {from presentation proposal- “instructor qualifications”} I am a fourth grade teacher at a Title I school district in Texas. I have been teaching for seven years and have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and fourth grade. I am certified early childhood through sixth grade and also have my English as a Second Language endorsement. I attended my undergrad at The University of Texas at Dallas. I have a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in triple literacy from the University of Texas at Arlington and also have a Master of Science degree in Educational Media Design and Technology from Full Sail University. I have conducted Challenge-Based Research in my own classroom to determine how to increase motivations for students to increase their own literacy skills by using technology. I use a plethora of new technologies and Web 2.0 tools in my classroom, along with my daily life.
- CHALLENGE BASED RESEARCH/LEARNING explain general premise of project results, including increased motivations, higher test scores
- BRIEFLY DISCUSS SECTIONS OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW Promoting Effective Literacy in 21st Century Learners Promoting by Lessoning the Gap Promoting Literacy with Technology Integration Promoting Literacy by Increasing Professional Development
- WHAT IS SCHOOLOGY? Academic Features- Class Profiles/Webpage, Create Assignments & Events, Create Tests & Quizzes, Manage Gradebook & Attendance, Online Dropboxes, Track Student Usage & Course Analytics, Mobile Applications Social Features- Cross-School Networking & Private Messaging, Group Workspaces for Departments, PTA, Clubs, Teams, & More, Blogs & Profile Pages, Personal File Storage / Bookmarking Management Features- School, Course, Group & Personal Calendars, Email & SMS Text Notifications, Privacy Control & Word Filters Administrative Features- Email Address and Username Support, Single Sign-On (SSO), Import / Export Courses, Users, & Grades, School Vanity URL, Parent / Guardian Access
- EXPLAIN HOW I USED SCHOOLOGY: completed mini-lesson in classroom first made document to assist students in setting up their accounts after setting up student accounts, analyzed audience with survey created one assignment per subject, per week spend at least three 45-minutes sessions in computer lab per week students are motivated to work at home assignments usually reinforce concepts learned at school (spelling or writing) assignments also introduce new Web 2.0 tools
- SHOW HOW TO SET UP AND USE BASIC FEATURES OF SCHOOLOGY: creating an account adding an assignment adding materials to courses grading assignments create an event host a discussion update status and write announcements
- ADDITIONAL SHOTS OF MY USE OF SCHOOLOGY
- WHAT IS PREZI? presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas upon a virtual canvas distinguished by its Zooming User Interface (ZUI), enables users to zoom in and out of the presentation allows users to display and navigate through information used as platform for bridging linear and non-linear information used as a tool for both for free-form brainstorming and structured presentation text, images, videos and other presentation media are placed upon the canvas, and can be grouped together in frames users designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects for linear presentations, users can construct a prescribed navigation path.
- WHY USE PREZI IN THE CLASSROOM? paperless book reports mind maps story maps

- SHOW HOW TO USE THE BASIC FEATURES OF PREZI setting up a class account (not a SSO) adding text adding frames and shapes creating a linear path sharing on a web page
- student use of Prezi
- WHAT IS DIPITY? most popularly used as a lifestream (aggregator) can be used in education as an actual timeline educators can use them to create lesson plans or scope and sequence timeline view listview flipbook view map view (powered by Google)
- WHY USE DIPITY IN THE CLASSROOM? I used it for social studies for younger grades, can be used as an actual timeline can document basically anything for older students, use it to aggregate feeds follow different blogs (RSS feeds) older students can also create intricate timeline all students can collaborate with each other online
- SHOW BASIC FEATURES OF DIPITY: setting up an account (not SSO) adding events uploading files to events inserting an image aggregated feed sharing a timeline
- additional screenshots of Dipity to demonstrate basic features and student uses

- WHAT ARE GOOGLE DOCS? - easy to use online word processor, spreadsheet and presentation editor allows students to create, store, and share instantly and securely and collaborate online in real time can create documents from scratch or upload existing documents no software to download work is stored safely online and can be accessed from any computer
- WHY USE GOOGLE DOCS IN THE CLASSROOM? Google Docs helps promote group work and peer editing skills, and that it helps to fulfill the stated goal of The National Council of Teachers of English (writing as a process and encourages multiple revisions and peer editing) Teachers are using Google Docs both to publish announcements about upcoming assignments and to monitor student progress via an interactive process which allows you to give guidance when it might be of maximum benefit – while your student is still working on an assignment. Through the revisions history, you can see clearly who contributed to what assignment and when; if a student says he or she worked on a given project over the last two weeks, it will be documented (no more "dog ate my homework" excuses)
- ANALYZE (part of ADDIE model) teachers can create surveys with students to identify interests/needs surveys can be used for quizzes Students will find that Google Docs can help them stay organized and keep on top of their assignments. They never have to remember to save their work; it happens automatically. It's easy to collaborate online with fellow students, even when they aren't in the same place, and they can get feedback easily from teachers, parents, relatives and tutors, and enter updates anytime from anywhere. And kids can go back to the revisions history to see how their assignment has evolved, and who has helped.
