Summer “Casual” Professional Development
We have not really had a moment to breathe this year–it’s been a whirlwind operation from the get-go. Technology training? No time! Since several teachers had approached me wondering if we could meet up at school during the summer so I could “show” them a few things to enhance technology use in the classroom, I decided to devote two weeks this summer to in-house casual professional development. But I’ll extend the invite to any Downtown parents and any Memphis area teachers that might accidentally stumble upon my little bitty corner of cyberspace.
Here’s the deal:
JUNE: Week of 6/15-6/19
JULY: Week of 7/13-7/17
All dates will start at 10 AM and though it might not go until 3PM, I’ll stay till then in case you want to practice or play with stuff.
Mondays will be digital photography and iPhoto (bring a digital cam with an SD card, if possible).
Tuesdays will be video importing and editing in iMovie.
Wednesdays will be eBeam and Kerpoof for the classroom.
Thursdays and Fridays will be play dates. This means I’ll just be here from 10 to 3 and at your service. You can come in to practice any of the things we’ve done M-W or ask for specific help on anything you’ve wanted to learn or brush up on.
Of course, the July dates will be after I return from NECC, so I might be chock full of even more good ideas. *smile*

Sorry I didn’t make it last week… my Dad got a virus and it threw off my plans. I will plan to come during the July week and maybe we can also work on your bulletin artwork with the hot air balloon idea. I’ll go on and get the fade resistant paper… you prefer black, right?
Hope you’re having a wonderful and relaxing summer!!!!
See you soon!
