Henrico 21 Training

These past couple of weeks I’ve been conducting Henrico 21 training at my schools, and I’ve tried to incorporate different web tools into the presentation. So I thought I’d share them here on my blog. One great tool is Stixy which is basically on online sticky note board. That’s where I displayed all the important links and downloadable documents. You can see my Stixy by clicking here. After introducing Henrico 21, teachers shared their ideas about what makes a 21st century classroom using an online collaborative document called Type With Me. It was a great way to instantly share their ideas at the same time. As we discussed their ideas, I copied and pasted them into a Tagxedo document in the shape of 21. You can see it in the picture above. Next we looked at some videos of Henrico 21 lessons and evaluated them on a Google form. You can see a Prezi of my presentation below.
