  • The Nook has a colored screen that looks easier to use, plus it is more eye appealing, so it is appealing to the buyer.

      I'm more of a numbers guy, not a words guy (which is why I'm a math teacher). However this seems like a pretty amazing tool. Can you get magazines on it or just books?

      I thought I was the only one who liked this. Is that game still out there somewhere?
  • While one member of my department was showing off the new goods he stated and I quote, I don’t why they spent so much money, I only need this for attendance and emails.”

      I'm curious as to how old this person is.

  •  It is the luck of the draw who gets put in a technology class, but those students who don’t get the class are put at such a disadvantage.

      At our school all freshmen have to take a computers/careers class. I know they don't get into as much detail with certain applications as they would like, but at least all students then get the basics of the technology we will all use in the future. I'm sure there is some way more students can get into that class.

      Something most of our students desperately need!

  • she was very into finding out how to use these thing
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      At least she is behind you, that's a start. There's nothing harder than cutting through the legal tape and fighting against your administration.
  • The other tool that I am learning how to use is imovie.

      I can't wait to see your project. Anytime someone uses something new it is exciting and creats a sense of accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself.

  • Learning how to use Prezi proficiently could easily take multiple days of lessons.  Therefore the students would need to spend a good amount of time just learning about the tool before using it to present other curricular topics.  With the time crunch in schools today this could end Prezi’s life in a classroom before it begins.

      I haven't checked out the site yet, but it sounds like an amazing tool one can use either in or out of the classroom. Your point about time however is very interesting. We are under so much pressure as teachers to prepare our students for PSSAs that one of the biggest questions we have is do we have enough time to try new stuff, even if the new material is pushing 21st century education.
  • My plan is ultimately to give parents the link to our Prezi.
    • Douglas Gimbar
       
      Great idea. We have to keep them as involved as possible.
  • Another constraint is the fact that all meetings have to be scheduled in advance.

      How far in adavance?
  •  
    I agree with you 100 percent. You need to learn about the students just as much as they need to learn about the material you are teaching them.
