I chose to look at the Google Powerpoint. I learned several new things I can do to make my Google searches more powerful and meaningful. I never new that the Google box can be a quick calculator and the wonder wheel might be really useful to visual learners like me. Also I always forget that you can use CTRL "F" to search any website or any document. Due to the change of semester for Elective Teachers I have not shared anything I learned with my students but I defined plan to incorporate some of these strategies into my lesson plans. In the past I have used the Google spreadsheet application to create quizzes for my students to take online.
I haven't gotten a chance to try them in my class yet but I've made the foldable and plan to try it with my Health classes. Much more fun way to learn vocabulary.
I'm going to try the foldables but for a research project. I'm tired of reading a lot of cut and paste "googly gook." Young has a book of really nice foldables, including the one on youtube.
Our goal for professional development this year is to meet the specific needs of members of our Professional Learning Community. After each professional development opportunity, participants are asked to reflect and then comment on the presentation and on the implementation of the strategies in your classroom.
We believe we can build a core of professional knowledge that will benefit each of us.
Additionally, independent professional development will be offered online. Staff members who participate in online p.d. should write a reflection of their work on the blog.

infomercial was good
kids doing diffrent things to learn folds/presentation/song etc. may get the tweeners
Refresher on different techniques is always beneficial.
