Team,

Training

The official training schedule has been posted for CFF teachers. If you are not an official CFF teacher, you may still aquire training times. Just email me an open period that will work and we can meet.

Wiki Video

One of the major things we have been working on in sessions has been building video libraries in wikispaces. Check out Ms. Sumners! This practice can make your streaming video experience much more user friendly and school safe. In addition to this I ahve found a firefox add-on that allows you to download streaming video. You would need to install outside of school since the program is a shareware add-on. You cna find that under the web links section of the website.

Web 2.0

Check out Ms. Makatche's web 2.0 page for some cool free resources that can make your learning environment much more fun for yourself and your students.

Additional Coach

Finally, Mr. Billy Simpson has arrived from North Carolina. He will soon send a district-wide email introducing himself. His role will be similar to mine in the middle school and elementary schools. His website is currently under construction. I will add a link to our as soon as it is up and running. He will be with me on a few trainings to get his feet wet, although he is hardly new in education as he taught for 7 years and has been in administration for 14. His addition to our district will be very positive as we progress.

Thanks,

Justin VanFleet
