11.5 More Things - Evaluation

Thanks for another great experience!

1. My favorite discoveries or exercises:
Facebook was a fun discovery as many of my teachers were there but I had not joined. I really enjoyed Slideshare nad the 280 slides since I have teachers looking for new ways to utilize technology and this is a great resource that I will share in the fall.

2. Assisted or affected lifelong learning goals:
I appreciate all the articles that the lifeguards shared as we learned new concepts and information that we will inturn share with our fellow educators. With technology changing so quickly and students so quick, it is necessary to be as informed as possible to keep up with our students and assist our teachers. I will really use the "Digital Citizenship" information with my logy students as school begins and share other information as opportunities present themselves during the school year. I know the information I am taking from this staff development will assist as I implement the new technology with my students.

3. Take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes:
Technology did not always work the way I expected it to, but it seemed easier that 23 things. Maybe this was just because we have such a great set of support staff during the school year and so many technology experiences during the year and at TLA that we were already aware of many of the experiences that we covered in 11.5 things. There is always something new and it is great that y'all are there to make us aware of the new technology so we can better share it with others! (Watch for our school blog and we might have a school newspaper.)

4. What could you do differently???
I do not see how our lifeguards could have done any better! You always come up with great ideas and then challenge us to live up to your expectations. I hope we do not disappoint and I look forward to working with my students and teachers and the new technology this fall!

Thanks for the time at the beach...
