I've still got lots to learn (and thank you to those who have filled out your surveys-- it helps me immensely!) so this is what I'm thinking. Very open to your feedback: <strong>OCTOBER 9</strong>: Photo Booth / Comic Life / Spotlight / Connecting to servers <strong>NOVEMBER 13</strong>: PowerSchool questions / MAC OS X hints / What's coming in Leopard <strong>DECEMBER 11</strong>: Web Tools for Collaboration: Community Bookmarking / Wikis / Blogs <strong>JANUARY 15</strong>: DiLL: How to use it more effectively/creatively <strong>FEBRUARY 12</strong>: Skype/iChat: Possible applications <strong>MARCH 11</strong>: Podcasting/RSS: Ways to use Podcasts <strong>APRIL 8</strong>: Images: Shared iPhoto library? Editing Images Use in Classroom <strong>MAY 13</strong>: Intro to Blog & Web Design (for those who want to design over the summer) and how to use them in language classrooms <strong>LATE JUNE/EARLY JULY</strong>: 3-day? workshop on iMovie, iWeb, Blogging, Dreamweaver, Leopard + one-on-one follow-ups throughout the summer as needed I'm sort of thinking of a 4-pt, 25-30 minute format for these meetings: • play chocolate game (5 min) • demonstration (10 min) • optional assignment for those who choose to accept it • discussion (10 min) What do you think? What do you want? This is your time, and I definitely want to make it worthwhile. Please let me know what you really would like. I'm hoping that together we'll be able to share and come up with some really great applications of these technologies...
