My collaboration schedule has been posted for the week. As always, if the scheduled time will not work for you, or you would like additional time, please email. Click here to view my schedule.

CFF Post Survey

We are now moving into the end of the school year. This means that CFF teachers will now need to take the CFF post survey. The also means that a section of your students will be required to participate in the survey next week. The format is the same as the CFF pre survey we took earlier this school year. It is a 10-20 minutes survey that provides the state data.

At any time, staff may complete their survey by visiting the PSU dashboard, clicking teacher survey, entering your CFF id (pleaser email if you are unsure about your CFF id) , and finally by completing the questions. A good time to take this would be during our scheduled time for training/collaboration. It must be completed before next friday the 19th.

On the student end of the spectrum, I plan on using the same survey format as we used for the CFF pre survey. That is that teachers can sign up for a time and I will just wheel the laptop cart into your individual room for student use. I will provide the students all needed instruction in taking the actual survey. The student survey will also take 10-20 minutes.

Our window, provided by the state, to complete the survey is between 5/19 and 5/22. Please email to reserve a period for next week. I will then post the scheduled times on this schedule page. You can also access the schedule by viewing the sidepanel on my wiki. I will follow your email with a confirmation email.

Please email with any questions.

Thanks,

Summer Read
The summer read wiki is growing. Take a look!

Copyright
On this past Thursday I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Library conference with Kay Rhinehart and Katie MaKatche. The main emphasis was on copyright and fair use. Take a look at some of the great resources and information collected on this page.

Embedded Learning
I will be sending the conglomerate results from our final sync point discussion in next week's update email. Thank you all for the great work. It has been a joy to work with all of you in this process.

Team,

Schedule
Next Week's schedule has been posted on the wiki. As always, if you would like extra sessions or would like to sign up for a collaboration session, please email.

Tech Camp
Make sure to look into tech camp this year. It would e a valuable resource to any individual that would participate. For more information view the technology camp page on our wiki.

Summer Read
I have created a page for our "Summer Read" program. The page can be accessed form my homepage as well as from Kay's school web page. I am hoping to have all of the books that will be read in the program on our page's list. Each page contains a brief summary as well as a "book trailer." Make sure to email me any book that is not yet on the list. I am hoping this page can be a resource that you can use to advertise your individual book to students in order to increase student participation. If you are not sure what book you would like to read, make sure to take a look at the 14 books that already have pages.

Wiki Week
It seems that over the past few weeks, the interest in wikis has grown exponentially. Wikis are a great way to create projects for students that are both rigorous and exciting. Whether you would like students to respond to prompts for an independent read (Melissa Turner), allow students to use the discussion board to do current event assignments (Amy Swartz), spread the word about a great number of books (Courtney Kerr and Gail Deans), or history decades websites (Alissa Wolfe), you have found various uses.
