I found several educational yet fun sites that I can use with my students as incentives for good behavior.
I found sites that I want to pass onto parents for extra practice at home with numbers and words.
I really enjoyed all the websites for student interaction,plus I liked the time that was given to us to look thru the portaportal. Pat did a great job! :)
Kidspiration is a great program that I think that my students will be able to use. Also, I am very excited about all of the great websites that are listed. What a wonderful to experince hands on activities through technology.
Lots of great ideas presented to us. It is always a challenge to take things to the k-2 level, but the portaportal will be excellent to have available. It is nice to have so many links in one place so that the 'technology-impaired' don't have to reinvent the wheel. Thanks for all the great ideas.
I am not very proficient with technology, and so any time that I am provided with useful tools to locate activities and useful graphic organizers, I am extremely grateful. I found several sites for my students to visit for math activities. Thank you
The idea of utilizing a blog would be beneficial for student learning! It would be neat to see the students take their learning to another level and interact in an online communication format.
We could use Inspiration programs in the classroom to create graphic organizers that will give students a visual representation of the material being covered.
In respect to the strategies that were taught, I plan to use the Kidspiration activities to reinforce comprehension skills and organizational skills. In regards to the website, I am excited to use some of the math activities that focus on problem solving, pie charts and graphing. The technological tools that I plan to use will help my students to obtain a deeper understanding of the content in specific subject areas. I am especially looking forward to using the website's timeline organizer and Venn diagram with my students during our study of African-American heroes this month.
I would like to look a little more at the interactive VennDiagrams. I think it would be a fun way for my students to complete a VennDiagram after reading.
I liked the idea of putting the less important details of a passage in a lighter color and the most important in a bright color to help the students focus on the information. I also love having all of those sites in one spot for us to look at and use.
I enjoyed the activities on the website. I have some students in that will benefit greatly from the websites. I, too, struggle to find interactive websites that are educational.
This portaportal site will be especially useful in the future to revisit for different ideas and reminders. Thanks for the guest password. I appreciate that it includes a variety of content areas and grade levels.
I also learned about several different sites that have supportive technologies. I use cornell notes personally, and appreciate the link to the blank forms on this site.
I was interested in the similarities and differences and using technology resources to create activities to use in my classroom. There are so many ways to use vocabulary words, such as math, science, etc terms.
I was able to get some great ideas for a variety of note-taking strategies. Combination notes are a great way to have students take notes. Feb. is a time we need to give the students some new strategies.
This grant is a comprehensive professional development plan which supports initiatives that enable educators to integrate technology effectively into curriculum and instruction. Any K-12 instructor within ESA Region 2 may apply to participate in this grant. Grant participants will select a state standard which poses an opportunity for improvement and use technology and formative assessment in their lesson plans in an attempt to increase student achievement in that standard. Participants will attend technology training sessions as well as work with a cognitive coach and technology integration specialist throughout the 2007-2008 school year to accomplish this goal.
The Education Service Agencies began in South Dakota as a vehicle to better deliver services to schools. In the spring of 2004, seven regional agencies were selected from proposals submitted to the Department of Education. Each agency is responsible for providing services to regional school districts, and serving as a resource for schools.

I really enjoyed the site that takes you to many other educational sites. It was great to have all the sites in one place.

What a wonderful day! I love being able to get on some cool Math websites. I knew quit a bit about Kidspiration but the rest was very good.

I found a lot of sites that I would like to use during centers.

I was a good oportunity to try out a few sites that I can incorperate into my classroom and pass onto my parents.
I liked the time we got to look over the sites. There is never enough time to just explore.
I thought the portaportal was neat and the fact that we got to experiment with inspiration.
Using Inspiration to make Venn Diagrams
I liked looking at the different sites that are available.
We could use Inspiration programs in the classroom to create graphic organizers that will give students a visual representation of the material being covered.

I found the websites to be educational and fun. I plan to use them in the classroom. I will use the portaportal to blog with my students.
Several sites out there have exciting games especially math related that will get my students excited about math concepts.
Today was helpful. I'm a bit of a dinosaur with technology, so I could use even more time to play with these websites.
I'm dumber than this computer. What do you think I got out of this?
I would like to look a little more at the interactive VennDiagrams. I think it would be a fun way for my students to complete a VennDiagram after reading.
It was nice to look around and see so many MS teachers playing with different sites that they can use in their classrooms!
I would like to have my 8th graders blog career ideas and interests. Now, I just have to "git'er done."
If you believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

I will be able to use the Kidspiration for sentence building and word sort.
great ideas
We were so inspired. I liked Portaportal which I have used before!
I need a lot more time to just sit and play with different technology options that are available.
I really liked having the time to look at all the different organizers that can be used across the curriculum.
This portaportal site will be especially useful in the future to revisit for different ideas and reminders. Thanks for the guest password. I appreciate that it includes a variety of content areas and grade levels.
I also learned about several different sites that have supportive technologies.
I use cornell notes personally, and appreciate the link to the blank forms on this site.
I found the Internet sites to be useful and it was a great refresher on how to use the programs on the computer.
I really enjoyed the combination note taking strategy. It will really help my visual learners that don't like taking traditional notes.
I will also use the wiki site to have discussions over my literature selections in Senior English.
I found a lot of new resources online today that have great lesson ideas. I always enjoy finding new activities!
Making a comparison chart that I can use for my class.
i love this class
Don't forget you can blog right from our website now!
I'm blogging!
It was very helpful to learn the conceps of using powerpoint and how to use them in class.
I found a website for Shriners to sign up.
I love this class
I was interested in the similarities and differences and using technology resources to create activities to use in my classroom. There are so many ways to use vocabulary words, such as math, science, etc terms.
I can use some of the notetaking strategies when computers are available.
I thought today's in-service was very interesting and will use this information in future lesson plans.
I found several intereesting and useful websites and stratagies to use with students!
I was able to get some great ideas for a variety of note-taking strategies. Combination notes are a great way to have students take notes. Feb. is a time we need to give the students some new strategies.
Even though I do not have a classroom, I found this to be interesting and informational.
I found ways to integrate combination notes and a variety of tables and charts with some of my standards.
I also wonder who tito is
why do you need to have a classroom? this about relating to your students.
