Congrats, Tim. You are the perfect choice for this as-yet-unnamed-secondary-position. Can’t wait to hear all about it as you go through your first year.

Hello Tim,
You will love your new position! I spent 1- years the Tech Facilitator for a middle and high school! I loved playing (working) with the new technology. I did staff development for the teachers, administrators, cafeteria staff, central office. Dumb me got sick and gave it up, now I’m teaching 3rd grade. I really do miss exploring tech all day. It has no feelings =- it’s all about figuring out what to do next! Good Luck!! ..????….. God’s Blessisngs!

Nice job Tim! I too, attended Lodge’s workshop at DENSI and love the high tech/low tech “collision” of the paperslide! Thanks for posting.

Rachel, steal away! I’m posting all of my videos to both YouTube and School Tube so they can be accessed over the Internet as well as the copy we use in our Promethean Flipcharts.

Carolyn, we have 4 cameras available. I hope to write a mini-grant to get more so the kids can start making their own. I started with Language Arts because we teach primarily math in the lab setting, and I want to expose them to some writing skills as well. I may move back over to math after the first six weeks. Kind of playing it by ear. We have all our 6th graders in a lab the fall semester, so yes, every class is using the same videos for starters.

How very exciting, Tim!! I, too, hope to do some of the paper slide videos with my 4th graders and possibly 3rd graders later into the year. Isn’t Lodge inspiring?
I have a question or two for you.

How many video cameras do you have? Why did you start with language arts? Are you doing this with each 6th grade class in a lab setting?
