Gloggers

Many Digital Leaders are experienced gloggers, and quite a few of you are starting to glog. What can we learn from each other? Everything!  Perhaps a very simple Wall will do the trick for exchange of ideas and expertise. 

• Create a note with a question about Glogster.
• Experienced gloggers, please check the questions on the wall and create a note with the answer to a question.
• Link to a Google Document for a longer discussion.

If you are thinking about glogging, please contribute to the

Pixie 2 Samples Needed

Please help. The Longfellow Digital Leaders will be doing a staff training during the bulk of their staff meeting on March 10th and we are in need of some Pixie 2 samples. If you have some student samples to share, please drop them into the Faculty Shared Folder > Longfellow, where you will find a folder named Oxnevad.  (*Screencast video tutorial below can help you complete the task.)

The goal of the training will be for teachers to accomplish the following tasks:

• Create a Pixie 2 graphic
• Store it in the Students Shared Folder
• Insert a Pixie 2 graphic into a Google Presentation, then publish it

*Don't know how to use the Faculty Shared Folder?

Here is a link to a JING tutorial created by Debbie designed to teach staff how to
Use Faculty Shared Folder. 


Thanks for sharing!

Staff Meeting: March 10th?

Hello,

I'm doing a quick survey to see which schools are having staff meetings on March 10th. To save time, I did not create a form. Instead, can you please put this information into the comments below?

Happy ISAT week!

Permission to Publish

If one or more of your students were briefly featured in the Board Presentation, you should have received an email w/photos and a description of what they discussed in their snippet. Emailing the video did not work, even when I zipped the movies.

Please remember:  Turn a copy of the signed permission slip in to Kevin Anderson c/o Penny Sylvester by Thursday, if at all possible. I won't be at the office to pick up my snail mail.

A Few Tasks

Here are a few important Digital Leader tasks:

Permission Slips Needed: Due Friday, 2/26
If your students were featured in the Board Presentation, we are asking you to try to get written permission to publish the short video clip featured. There is no identifying information that would endanger the students. I will be sending you the clip in question. A permission slip is posted in the sidebar for easy access. I believe we are talking about students from the following teachers' classes: Jackie, Phyllis, Ashley, Debbie, and Pat. Please stay tuned. The Board is eager to have the presentation published. Please send a copy of the permission slip in the snail mail to Penny Sylvester, not me. I will be out of town. :-)

Survey Regarding New Laptop Discussion: Due Thursday, 2/25
Please complete a brief, 2-question survey regarding the new laptops we are discussing. The questions will take some thought to answer, so you might want to look at them first in order to ponder and think about your answers.  Go to Form

Questions?
Don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks so much for the important work you are doing! I'm looking forward to seeing some of you on Monday at 4:00 to kickoff the Internet Safety Curriculum Committee. We will meet at Central Office.
