Overview

Overview

 * action plan - keep or change?, think of something that you can go back and do Monday morning, next week, next month, offer a couple of different action plans for them to choose from?, another idea before they leave for the day connect with someone and share what you are planning to do and reconnect with them when come back to share what they actually did, maybe add having them identify something they will stop doing so they can do this new thing
 * kept them busy and engaged with a variety of different activities
 * Poll everywhere they liked
 * homework of posting to their personal page didn't work, only about half did
 * keep learning the wiki part
 * keep the rationale why we're here (ELLCO, CLASS tool to observe the instructional practices in the room more in depth than the ELLCO etc.) - making connections to ELLCO and CLASS since ODE is moving towards using CLASS but still using ELLCO this year, SST8 will be offering CLASS training
 * have them do the Survey Monkey on their Technology Use in advance to get them thinking. Have their survey printed out for them and reference in the first session
 * introduce the web cams
 * paper registration, email address so we can send link to survey
 * Handouts (agenda, powerpoint, digital natives articles, NAEYC position statement, action plan
 * To-do list not an action plan - give them a new one for each time, we stop at various points throughout the day and guide them to think about what they want to add to their list, Skype phone call is a check in on their to do list, do they need any support from us to accomplish things?
