After our first weekend together, I imagine everyone experienced the entire range of emotions: you laughed, you cried, technology moved you :^DThen you had to do all the work. . .Phew: newsletters, journals, journals, journals, journals. . .scanning, edtech-whatphile?

Week 2: we should be familiar with the Macs and the fast pace of the instructions. We will start off with the Social Bookmarking assignment, ensure everyone can enroll in the TaskStream containers, take a look at the ISTE NETS for Teachers (NETS-T) and the way in which we write the narratives (samples), get the PowerPoint. . .which takes a look at the NETS-S, create a rubric to grade the PowerPoints, and learn about Copyright/Internet Safety using Google Docs (which I will also show you. . .). . .and maybe even take a breath or two.
