Carol Wilborn Kerr LA/7 Mrs. Wilborn took the initiative to learn podcasting with her class and used it with her middle school English classes. Way to jump in there!
Kristen Mize Kerr Science/7 Mrs. Mize is using podcasting with her science class to introduce them to science concepts. The kids love it and Mrs. Mize learned quickly so that she could provide support for her students. Way to integrate technology and learn new skills!
Julie Vu BHS English/10 & 12 Mrs. Vu has introduced the concept of digital storytelling to her classes and encouraged them to use technology to help turn their stories, poetry, and plays they\’ve read into multimedia experiences for their audiences. Awesome!
Chris Hill BHS Math/9 Chris is using a new program purchased by CAI called Apangea with his students. Chris is actively monitoring and supporting the use of the program and the students as they learn math with this innovative online support.
Allison Lounsbury Kerr Science/6 Allison’s use of the Kerr library SMARTBoard to teach her students about cells was amazing. The students were engaged, she had 100% participation, and the students loved it! Allison\’s ability to tweak her lesson to cover small technical difficulties and issues with behavior management that come with introducing new technology in the classroom led to an amazing lesson and kids who were having a GREAT time learning about science. Bravo!

and

Ms. Lounsbury attended the Smart Board training and the very next day was creating an innovative and amazing lesson for her students and demonstrated how the board works to a room full of her peers. Ms. Lounsbury\’s students were extremly engaged with the lesson and talked about it for days. They can not wait for their next Smart Board lesson.

and

She just learned Smartboard and is already using it!!!!!

and

Allison has worked really hard at using the SMARTboard to engage her students. She has a contagious enthusiasm when it comes to new technology. Her students come away with her positive attitude. She makes the most of this hands on experience!

and

She has learned how to use the SmartBoard and used it for her classes. She also allowed the entire school to come watch as she used it with her students for the 1st time.
Derrick Bailey Kerr SS/8 Mr. Bailey jumped in with both feet after SMARTBoard training and used the interactive white board the very next day while reviewing his 8th Graders on their most recent unit. Way to go!

and

Using the SMART board to increase student learning! :)

Mike Levy Kerr Science/7 Mr. Levy has done a fabulous job of integrating technology into his classes by encouraging his students to use databases rather than mere search engines in their scientific research. Through his efforts, students are learning how to gather and evaluate the information that is most relevant to their research topics.
Patti Bradley Hughes SS/6 Constant use of technology in the classroom. Many student projects revolve around technology. Use of the Presentation Station and CPS units on a weekly basis in the classtoom. Two students\’ podcasts competed and placed in a recent statewide competition.

Eunice Harmon Norwood Science/3 Eunice has really stepped up the amount of technology she is integrating into her curriculum. She has a great blog that her students love to visit, she\’s using digital cameras and photostory to illustrate and narrate her students\’ writing, and she\’s spreading this excitement to other teachers who are anxious to try the cool things she\’s doing. Great Job!
Happy Modisette Frazier LA/4 The NOVA5000 \”Text Maker Program\” and digital cameras were used to give her 4th graders a change of pace for a writing and picture project. Her 4th graders used the NOVAS and the \”roll up\” keyboards to write an \”About Me\” paper. She used digital cameras to teach them some camera basics and as an added feature to the \”About Me\” project. Ms. Modisette has had the \”About Me\” page printed, from the NOVA work, and she\’ll couple their written work with a picture of themselves to be displayed for Open House this Thursday.
