Sharing and Celebrating the Mobile Computing Strategy

Over the week I have been meeting with different Families of Schools to share and celebrate what teachers and students have created with the Mac laptops.
I have been truly overwhelmed by what has been accomplished.  Both teachers and students have been excited to share their work and all of their new learning.
One teacher mentioned how his entire way of teaching has changed since using technology in the classroom this year.  He now uses Edmodo to communicate and collaborate with his students. Another teacher is using Moodle for sharing resources and organization and Voice Thread for oral presentations. I was particularly touched by one teacher who was a Mac beginner at the start of the project but has worked so hard to develop her skills.  She shared imovies her students created to support their poetry unit; the results were breathtaking!
Another teacher, Kristen Thorsley, at Fairmount Jr. P.S. sent in Bitstrips her students created when
finding the area of a triangle and parallelogram.
