I have two new schools where I will be serving as the ITRT (technology instructor), <a href=\"http:\/\/schools.henrico.k12.va.us\/varinaes\/\">Varina<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/schools.henrico.k12.va.us\/davis\/\">Davis<\/a>.  I&#8217;m still at <a href=\"http:\/\/schools.henrico.k12.va.us\/holladay\/\">Holladay<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/schools.henrico.k12.va.us\/laburnum\/\">Laburnum<\/a>, where I&#8217;ve been for the past eight years. This week we&#8217;ve been doing introductory activities with technology.  We&#8217;ve written notes to our parents in <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=741\">Pages<\/a> and added a photo, we&#8217;ve made <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=44\">Comics<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=41\">Pixies<\/a> about ourselves, and we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=737\">interviewed<\/a> each other. Since I&#8217;ve already posted similar projects, I won&#8217;t post them again here, but I&#8217;d like to highlight two projects we did at my new schools. The 4th graders in Ms. Cousin&#8217;s class at Davis <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/74849200\">created a video<\/a> to explain the classroom procedures to their parents. That really grabs parents&#8217; attention at Back-to-School night. The 4th graders in Ms. Hubard&#8217;s class at Varina created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biteslide.com\/\">Biteslide<\/a> posters about themselves (see photo). Biteslide used to be called Beeclip, so if you&#8217;d like to see how I&#8217;ve used it in other ways <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?s=beeclip\">search my blog for Beeclip<\/a>. Finally, 3rd grade students in Ms. Eller&#8217;s class at Davis made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordle.net\/\">Wordle<\/a> word clouds about their interests and added a photo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a good start to the 2013-2014 school year.
