Suzanne Sallee, Educational Technology Coach Creighton School District Phoenix, AZ iAchieve: Using iPods to Enhance Learning iAchieve Reflections Blog Suzanne Sallee's Ed Tech Page

Week 5: Blogs

Well I have actually been blogging for about 4 years now but not always on a consistent basis. My most current blog contains my reflections on an iPod project in my school district. Last year we put about 700 iPods into our third grade classrooms across the district and I have had the pleasure of coaching the teachers in the use and integration of iPods to enhance student learning. It has been a great journey and the blog has helped remind me of the many successes.



Come visit my blog and post a comment. I would love to hear from you!

Week 4: Wetoku

Just created a short "Live" Wetoku. This is my first experience using this tool but am already thinking of ways to use it at school. It is still private but the password is: a7223 media type="custom" key="10101377"

Using the interview format would be a way for teachers to share with each other how they are integrating technology. Our students could interview each other with one playing the part of an historical figure and the other the interviewer. We had some classrooms last yer working on projects involving landforms and natural disasters. The teams each created a newscast and the "reporter" interviewed people from the town that had experience the natural disaster. Wetoku would work great for a project such as this.

Week Three: Storybird

As with many of you, I have not been able to get the embed code for my Storybird but will keep trying. Until then, here is the link and a graphic of the cover:

Summer on the Farm

Yay! I got my embed code so here is my embedded Storybird: media type="custom" key="10141501"

Week Two: Voicethread

Wow, there are so many great ideas out there for utilizing Voicethread to enhance student learning. Can't wait to share them with the teachers in my district!

Since we are all experiencing tightened budgets, field trips and other extras are difficult. I use Voice thread to begin creating a virtual field trip to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix using some pictures I have taken while visiting there. It's one of my favorite places!

Here is my Voicethread. I've still got some work to do but please feel free to comment!

Week One: Wordle

I have recently been working on updating my coaching resume and putting together a digital portfolio using LiveBinders ( @http://livebinders.com). I decided to use the text from my resume and create a Wordle to use on the introductory page of my LiveBinder ePortfolio. I tried several different fonts and color styles. I think I prefer the darker backgrounds because they seem to create some boundaries to the words. Although I have created and used Wordles with the light backgrounds in the past.





This is the Wordle that is currently on the home page of my district teacher webpage:
