PES Staff Development 10/7/11

Your websites are looking fabulous!  A special Webbie Award goes to Helen for her Kindergarten Klass blog.  She has embedded Animotos and a Picasa slideshow and has done a fabulous job keeping her website up to date and informative.  BRAVO Helen!

This morning we're going to continue our work, but since we're all in different places, here are some options:

  • If you're still getting your site up and running,  today's the day to post your schedule, put up some curriculum links, upload your newsletter, and visually show off all the great things you've been up to with some photographs.  As always, I am here to help!

  • If your website is up to date and awesome as is, check out these nifty Web 2.0 tools that you can embed in your site:
    • Blabberize: make your photos speak (literally!)
    • Glogster: poster yourself (and your students)
    • Vocaroo: easily record and embed sound files
    • Wallwisher: you've all seen this one... it's fabulous, so try it out if you haven't yet!
    • Corkboard.me: similar to Wallwisher, only easier (if that's possible)

  • Or, alternatively, you can explore these resources which I think will be of interest to you:
    • WordTamer (Jenn and Amber, I'm hoping this sparks your interest!  I'd love to collaborate with you on this).
    • PBS Learning Media: a great resource for curriculum-connected videos, primary sources, etc.
    • NeoK12: another good resource for videos, organized by content area and grade level.
