Staff+Development+Day+-+May+1,+2009

May 1, 2009 is a Staff Development Day. The SD committee decided that the morning would be devoted to Technology. We would like to offer different sessions for staff to choose from. We have 2 session topics so far and want more. Please let us know your ideas. Session Topic 1 - iPods/iPod Touches in the Classroom Session Topic 2 - Artsonia - The Kids largest art museum. http://www.artsonia.com/ Michele Haigh

How about a session on good internet sites we've found to use in the classroom? Each person could bring 2-3 and we could spend the morning in small groups, exploring the different options out there. Katie Ostrem

I would like to learn more about podcasing. -SK

I think information about IPods and language learning would be cool. Sarah E

Some of us might like to revisit tech we have been using to find updates on the programs, hear how others are using them, etc. the iPod ideas interest me, especially how can our students use them to communicate, demonstrate learning, etc. KL

I would like to know how to downloading music onto an Ipod to be used in the gym. jo
