Daily, I get a phone call from at least one teacher asking me how to do something: “How do I change your message on my phone?” “How do I use Galileo?” “How do I put in a work order?” “Where do I find resources on ….?” “Where do I find student logins on the G:drive?” I’ve decided to create “how to” instructions and will send them out as needed. These instructions will be (should be) self-explanatory and easy to follow. The first one I have created is instructions on how to use Galileo. This week, I was busy scheduling teachers for UNIFY testing and working with the counselors who were finishing up working with the students with Bridge Bill. UNIFY, also known as Performance Matters, is a way to measure students’ knowledge and progress in a subject. Teachers can use the test scores to see where a student is lacking knowledge in a certain content area. Bridge Bill (House Bill 400) is used to help students begin planning for their future outside of high school. The media center was full all week with students and teachers using our computer resources. The math teacher I collaborated with a few weeks ago is ready to move forward with her budgeting project. She met with me Friday to give me a copy of the lesson and she and I will meet Monday morning to discuss which web 2.0 will best work for her students to present their findings in the budgeting project. I will introduce her to Glogster, Smore and Google Slides. I began making a plan for how to use the remainder of my budget money. All orders have to be submitted by the last day in March. I’m thinking that I’m going to order more camera resources. We have several teachers that like for their students to use our flip cameras for projects. Students aren’t allowed to check them out but I do allow teachers to check them out for their class, but the teacher is responsible for them. I’ve seen some really great projects from the students, using the flip cameras, over the past 2 years.
