Friday, August 29, 2008

I started today by meeting with S. Ray Lowder's new lab teacher assistant Kathy Walker. She will be working in the lab on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. The plan seems to be that teachers will ususally send their kids into the lab with their assistant and Kathy.

Kathy has already created a form that asks teachers what they want the kids to work on. This is a great idea so that lab time doesn't turn into play time or drill time. We worked on using the Smartboard and creating notebook files for it. We also discussed bookmarking. I am going to set her and the other lab assistants up on delicious so they can share bookmarks.

I also showed her a number of programs that Lowder has. They seem to be using Education City as well as GCompris. I need to find out if they are using the data collection of education city and then do some staff development on that and classcape.
