Thing 23

How will I use Web 2.0 in my position as an AP? I will have time to thought of incorporating videos into a powerpoint presentation that I have to at the start of the year. It is a presentation to go over various aspects of what is expected at MHS. I believe I accomplished everything that was required. Albeit, I took a tad longer than most people. As stated earlier there are a ton of things out there to use to motivate students and adults. I have some ideas and now I have the rest of this summer to investigate them. That is, if I don’t procrastinate. Or play too much golf. Or get tied up with my gardening. Or just about anything that keeps me from thinking of work until I actually start. I like the fact that you can stay connected to lots of people using Web 2.0. I really have done a better job of keeping up with others blogs. It has become almost a daily routine. My wife keeps asking, “What are you doing?”. We share a laptop and she is the infant stages of developing on online class through Blackboard. She has become somewhat consumed by it. I plan to learn more about Web 2.0 as I begin to use the features on a more regular basis. I hope to use my Wiki page for MHS administration as a tool to help each other. Although I have to admit with 3 of the AP’s in the same office it is many times easier to just “talk”. My goal is to finish some of the classes I have enrolled in on Michigan LearnPort. I have always thought of myself as one who continues to learn as time goes by. I can remember back to 1988 when Casio came out with these things called graphing calculators. Some professors at CMU and EMU took the technology to heart. They learned it and started professing its worth. I was in one of the first wave of teachers to learn this stuff. It was difficult but I embraced it and learned. I heart graphing calculators. Well, I am finished. I hope to stay connected with all. Thank you Jim Dornberg for a great experience.
