 * Dawn E. Alexander || dalexander@colonial.k12.de.us || I will teach you how to use Trackstar in the classroom. The site is [] Trackstar is an internet tool that allows teachers to select and post related sites in a group for students and parents to easily read and use. ||
 * Tom Gavin || tgavin@collonial.k12.de.us || I will be sharing Jing! Please see my wiki page on jing! [] ||
 * Nick Cottone & Megan Bone || ncottone@colonial.k12.de.us
 * Tara Amsterdam || http://wilbury12.wikispaces.com/ || The Harcourt series had the students plan a website for their family after reading My Diary from Here to There. I wanted to take it to the next level and actually have them create a web page. I showed them how to create a table and upload pictures. They did not need to include pictures but they did need to include 2-3 sentences about each family member. Some of the best pages to show would be "Conrad Family", "Gabbi's Family", "Amisha Jain's Family". In addition these three students who are in the red group, did a great job. I think they showcase how you can encourage and motivate children to reach their full potential. These sites are "Ashelly's Cool Family", "Greg's Family" and "Brock Family". ||
 * Ellen Citino || [] || I will be sharing the site I use to organize my bookmarks and favorites. A great tool! ||
