stumbling...

So this week was a killer....Started with SuperBowl Monday, last minute preparations for the rest of the week. Tuesday, I had to swap out our intranet server, this included taking down the present one to setting up and configuring the new one. It only took about 8 hours! On Wednesday and Thursday I held technology training for 7 select teachers from 7:30 - 3p.m. This was a coordinated effort with the IS. Teachers came with a lesson/unit plan in hand and we collaborated in locating resources, backwards design, Dodea standards, information literacy, and so on. I took advantage of the opportunity and used Gaggle as the platform for reflection and document storage. I introduced the digital locker, blogs and the message board to 5 of the teachers and the IS. Two of the teachers are in my initial research group. I will follow-up....Friday was Project Safe, a huge undertaking that I had very little experience or help with. I should have stuck with Internet Safety and left it to that! Instead I felt the need to include fire/crime/dental/bicycle, etc. and our school improvement goals (read aloud). We had the parents trained in internet safety in the evening as we moved the students through classroom "centers". During the day, the students were presented with internet safety as they moved from bicycle safety, fire safety and a K9 presentation....I was home in bed by 9 p.m.! Ok I'm not as young as I used to be...I slept in and had a down day on Saturday. I hope I never have another week like the last. I am so grateful not much was going on in Angel...I would have missed it all.
