 * Pat - .5 days (including follow up to visits)**

educational objective you are addressing?** || communication. Although the wording above is a little confusing, she wanted to know how to create a site to have a book club for Twilight and New Moon. She wanted to make sure that she could put information on the site, and then the kids could comment on readings. I told her to create a book club Edublogs site, so then she could put up whatever information she wanted, and the kids could add comments as they liked. She asked about a Wiki, but I told her that anyone can make changes to a Wiki, so a not so helpful kid could make changes that would not be good for her site. We started to make changes to the site she created on Edublogs and did nothing with, changing the design, deleting two year old posts, and then adding new posts and pages that would help her move forward with her book club. Finally, after the visit I did some research for about a half hour to make sure that she could use the Edublog settings to allow anyone to make comments, and make sure those comments are viewed by her before they go on the site. || Lozyniak || 217 || We need web sites that reflect literature and poetry during the Holocaust. The school was adding new computers, so internet access in this part of the school was not being allowed. I had done research the night before to find a site that would benefit her needs. http://kimel.net/poetry.html Had many Holocust poems that were powerful and moving, two things I believe the kids would enjoy. Also, the two teachers asked me about the Computer Skills Growth Chart, and any ideas I had to do those computer skills with the 8th grade classes. I told them that doing a Power Point project including the 8th grade skill could be something that brings all the skills together into a publication quality document. Finally, after the appointments I did about an hour of research for Ms. Lozyniak to find helpful sites that had George Washington and Revolutionary Government information. || (second cubicle) || Smartbook software question: I want to create puzzle pieces (with words on them) that can be moved around to create a full puzzle. I found the tangrams but I cannot lock the words to the pieces so they both move at the same time??? I did about a half hour of prior research to try and find a puzzle program that she could using. I couldn't find anything, but I did find a helpful site that has many different Smartboard programs that could help her in the classroom using the Smartboard. I added the site to the Smartboard link to the left of this page. ||
