Literacy ~ Room 208

Anyone who knows me… KNOWS that I love working on the computer, on the Internet.  This RITTI training experience is akin to Tech Bootcamp~ truly puts the trainee to the test.  I have never spent so many hours on a computer…while everything I am learning intrigues me (learning does make me truly happy), I am fatigued from the thinking and the sitting in one spot.

Today I worked on the wiki I started yesterday… it is just starting to look like something~ Hopefully it turns out to be a success.  If so, I would NOT hesitate to incorporate it into our classroom.  Eyes and brain are tired though. I still need to do my homework before heading upstairs

Day 3 coming to a close…

I am so tired that I am almost in a daze! RITTI is a wonderful challenge to all of the senses

Today, we signed up with Thinkfinity for training (which starts tomorrow)… and I started a wiki for the very first time, (2 actually to see which I like.) I put in some serious time with my lesson plan ~ which I still have to put time into before going to bed…and was introduced to the Polyvision Ino Board.

While I am not quite comfortable with the concept of wikis… I will continue to pursue it over the next week and a half. The Ino board is fabulous… just doesn’t meet my needs at the moment since I am working with a SmartBoard. It makes more sense to focus on replacing the ancient computers in our classroom. We have two that are beyond tired~ plus, I am psyched about the possibility of working with an Elmo projector.
