Suzanne's Ed Tech Reflections

I've been working on developing these "How To" guides for many of the apps we are going to be using during our iAchieve project this year. "Guiding" everyone in different ways to utilize the apps with students. I think I have done a pretty good job but during the process have also seen how we really do all need to work together as a collaborative team. Jeff Geyer, the principal at Papago School, and I met today. We had planned on just spending a few minutes developing our fluency with using the iPods and some of the apps. During the meeting we opened up the Doodle Buddy whiteboard app. It is one that allows you to "draw" with a friend via your wifi connection.

Well, with so much going on the summer has been very short and it is now time to return to school. It’s a little sad but also exciting to be returning to prepare for implementing our technology project for the year. Oh yes, let me share about our technology project. In January 2010, we began writing the application for our new tech grant. The process actually started a month prior when we first learned about the application, previewed it, and attended a webinar.
