6. Lesson Goals and Overview or Description Teachers will use digital opportunities such as a blog, wiki, voicethread, and more to learn and collaborate about their Promethean Board opportunities. They will be able to share flipcharts and ideas to use with their boards and problem-solve.

7. Information on your goals, topic, and how the lesson/unit fits into your overall curriculum Goals from the School Improvement Plan: Students will use technology to access and demonstrate knowledge and skills needed to be successful students and lifelong learners. Teachers will have tools and technology to deliver 21st century content in 21st century context. Technology and learning tools are available and supported by school facilities.


 * Part II.- Blogs**

8. Blog - Promethean Progress

9. Describe how you could use a teacher blog to engage students in this lesson or unit. Explain how you could manage student blogs and how you might involve others in providing feedback for your students on their writing. My blog is for teachers so that teachers can learn from my experience with the Promethean Boards across the school and in trainings as well as what other teachers might be learning. The goal is for us to learn from each other and spread information so that we can learn faster and more efficiently.


 * Part III. -** **RSS/Social Bookmarking**

10. List some of the URL’s that you found that will be helpful for either teacher preparation or student research for this unit. Keep a record of where you have included your bookmarks or subscribed to your RSS feeds.

- I used Bloglines.com to keep up with my RSS feeds. My favorites RSS feeds come from the following sites.

- Promethean Planet (with Teacher Feature, Latest Planet News, and ActivTips) http://www.prometheanplanet.com/

- Cool Tools @http://www.kk.org/cooltools/

- TechCrunch @http://techcrunch.com/


 * Part IV. - Wikis**

11. How might you use a wiki to enhance this unit or how could you have your students contribute to another wiki site to share their knowledge of content you are studying with the global learning community? My wiki is to be used for teachers to have a place to share their flipcharts and ideas about Promethean boards in their classrooms. My teachers will be able to post and download flipcharts as they need to as well as share ideas. This wiki will also be a great place for my teachers to brag on the progress of their children.


 * Part V.** **Podcasting/Streaming**

12. Share the titles and links to podcasts and/or videos that you found related to your lesson topic. How do you plan to integrate them? How might you create a podcast or video with students to enhance this unit?

- Promethean ActivTips - can be added to iTunes (must have login) I plan to share these with my teachers just as I did in my voicethread.


 * Part VI****- Assessment**

13. What procedures will you follow and/or what resources will you use to assess student understanding throughout this unit. I will use mentoring and training teachers to assess their understanding of flipchart building and the Promethean board in general. I will also use my voicethreads, wiki, and blog comments to assess where my teachers are in "Promethean Progress".


 * Part VII** **- Internet Safety**

14. What strategies will you take to ensure student safety as you integrate these new tools. Also use this space to post any additional notes regarding integrating Read/Write Web tools into your curriculum. I will continue to use sites such as Nettrekker, LearnNC, and NCWiseOwl which will protect my students from the websites out there that could be harmful to them at this stage in their lives. In addition, I will continue to link appropriate sites to our homepage for my students. They look to these links for fast access to appropriate resources. I will also continue to educate my parents about internet safety through sources such as www.take25.org.

Comments: Tina, I look forward to hearing how Promethean Progress progresses. We are looking forward to using the Activotes at our school and becoming more Promethean literate. You have several good links here as well as strategies. I wish you much success with this unit. Leigh
