Found this through Garth's and Mike's site and your podcast. It's so cool that you have set this up for all of us!

Yes, I am signed up for the Co-teaching workshops next week. I am looking forward to it and using a Smartboard. I felt a little "Tech Challenged" this year because I no longer taught tech classes, but I am looking forward to new ideas and new forms of technology to integrate this year.

Hey Abby,
I was out of town, sorry I am just getting back to you. I would like to get together sometime, give you a little feedback on the inservice and pick your brain on a few things. Let me know when you have sometime to meet with me in the next few weeks.

How do you like working for Smart Solutions? Can you give me some more information about this company?

This is my first year to only teach math. Before now, I was always self contained. This has made coming up with ideas a bit challenging.

Some things I have done so far are the use of podcasting and a wiki. I have had students podcast on how to do particular math skills like finding the range median and mode of data. I have a podcasting station in my room. It is a USB preamp connected to a typical microphone. We have Macs, so I use GarageBand to record and edit. I then converted to MP3 and uploaded to my class site. Being a novice/professional web designer, I have my own site to upload to and I don't have to worry about the school servers. The wiki I use is a free site. I could set one up myself, but that would require extra time that I don't have. I am using the wiki much like a blog site. The students all have accounts (82 students) and I post questions. They answer the questions by commenting. I didn't think I would have so many getting on the site. Many of my students do not have internet access at home.

I have done iMovie videos with my kids in the past. I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate this into math. The kids love to do this stuff. They are good at it. It just takes patience and some prayers that the lab doesn't go down in the middle of working on a major project.

Hi, Abby -- Thanks for your efforts in getting OETN going. I'm really looking forward to watching it grow and participating in the community.

Abby, unfortunately, I will not be participating in the PLP. The PLP falls under Cary Harrod. You can connect with her at the PLP and she joined this site also. I am fortunate in that I get to work with Cary on a few projects during the year. She leads the TABLET project for our district and wears many hats. She is a great resource.

I am the fellow for the two teams participating in PLP this year! It will be great to get to know you.
