With the tools that I have been introduced to, I can’t wait to… Use my teacher created WikiPages to disseminate news and assignments to my students and
their parents. Use my teacher created WikiPages to LINK assignment information (lecture notes, PowerPoints,
etc.) for better organization. Use my teacher created WikiPages to highlight Student of the Week (said student will be selected
by other students and will be my Teacher’s Assistant for the week) Use Audacity to create more PodCasts for class use Use Google Docs more than I do to create and store documents, presentations and forms. Use Wordle to introduce new Unit Vocabulary words Use Glogster as an assessment tool after reading literature selections Use student created WikiPages to publish my student’s Poetry Portfolios Use student created WikiPages to publish my student’s Book Talks Use student created WikiPages to publish my student’s autobiographical sketches Use student created WikiPages to publish a quarterly E-Portfolio
