Our district is starting the process of using Google Hangouts with staff. Since the Google Hangout requires a Google + account, our district is not ready to open this to staff just quite yet. It will happen, and it will be great for communicating in a geographically large district, holding staff meetings with smaller groups, and helping staff with technology and lesson planning. It will also be a positive as it works on laptops and iPads!
To start the process and test some settings, our learning support team of library media specialists and technology support teachers conducted our first hangout.
Six educators, five buildings, one Google Hangout.
While we aren't ready for complete unveiling to staff yet, we will get there, and it will be beneficial!

Mrs. Brylski decided that this year she would use todaysmeet as a backchannel for discussion during Food, Inc. (Used Twitter last year for backchanneling) She became familiar with todaysmeet when she used it for a discussion tool among students in different classes.
See what we did.

Mr. Landers is culminating a science experiment by having students choose what presentation tool is best for their data. Spending a morning with the content teacher prior to class allowed us to determine the choices that students could have.
During class, we emphasized with students that using a tech tool, "because you may have used it in the past" is not a great reason for using the tech tool this time. Students were asked to investigate each tool so that they could decide the best tool.
The teacher took care of the content, while I, as a learning support teacher, was able to assist with some technical difficulties, mainly setting up Glogster accounts and other accounts for students. It is always beneficial for two teachers to be present in a classroom of 26 students.
See the exact list of tools with link and document created for students.

Through this blog post, I learned about the Trading Cards app. It is a fantastic app for so many content areas. The great thing about being a technology integration specialist is that I can find resources and share them with so many people. Immediately after learning about the app, I contacted one of our U.S. History teachers in our high school. We quickly established how the app would be integrated and moved forward.
