Meridith & Amy's Notes: []

Notes from Rob Lucas:

Ways to integrate technology. Gathering resources: by topic- databases, filters for you, filters quality articles/sites so you now everything is academic, can place many resources in one spot, easier to model appropriate research technique. Organizing resources: digital copies so can't lose/have partner forget at home, easier to keep many resources in one place, digital graphic organizers, save clips on YouTube and keepvid, sharing and collaboration between staff and students. Collaboration tools: easy to share(group work becomes easier), students can work together at the same time on a document, extra feedback, calendar with students and parents, students can build on knowledge from previous year(keep evidence of student learning), show examples of old work, todaysmeeting.com Communication tools(creation tools): notes easier to get out, emodo, skyward, calendar to get to students, made presentations more interesting, prezi better than PowerPoint, google docs lets students collaborate, remindme101.com, get kids where they are, wiggio.com Differentiation: typing rather than writing, razkids, books on tape, phonics with ELL students, talking Tom, fluency tools, emailing notes to students, talk and share(?)

Prior to our Meeting on Nov
Meet with your principal and share the work you will be doing and finalize your coaching plan and who you will be coaching and when.

Coaching To Do's

 * 1) Complete the reflections in the Discussion forums.
 * 2) Continue to coach with your collaborating teacher and maintain your collaboration log using the word doc file or the excel file. Post your collaboration log by the end of Jan and the end of May in the table at the top of the page in your names cell. **Remember:** //Change the name of the file to include your name//
 * 3) Share the work you are doing with your principal. If you encounter scheduling or resource problems talk to your principal.
 * 4) Use the coaching tools below to focus your work on lesson improvement. At least once or twice try to complete the entire coaching cycle with your collaborating teacher including: assessing current work, goals, designing lesson improvements, resources, implementing the lesson and following up to debrief and compare how the improvements impacted student learning. Before the end of the year we will meet online or face to face to share one of these complete coaching experiences and get feedback on our coaching from your ISSAC peers.
 * 5) Continue to add resources and ideas to our resources pages or this page.
 * 6) Good luck, you will be doing great things for kids- yours and your collaborating teachers!
