Thursday: 
 
I hope I'm reading the schedule for Thursday correctly. If so, this is what I have for Thursday: 
 
9:45 – 10:33: Per 5: Cheryl & Amy : Media 
10:57 – 11:45: Per 6: Open: 
11:49- 12:37: Per 3: Danielle & Deanna: Media 
1:20 – 2:10: Per 4: Angine: Media 
 
Unfortunately, I don't get to have time with Sarah's & Jennifer's classes.  
 
If anyone wants me to do something in the "open" slot, just let me know. 
 
Also, since we are combining classes, can someone please make sure that we are signed up to use the media center. 
 
Finally, Please let me know if we are meeting after students are released, or if you have other obligations. 
 
Friday: 
 
We discussed using this as a planning/training day. I know some people have expressed interest in learning more skills in iMovie. In addition, here are some suggested topics. Please let me know which ones you are interested in for Friday. 
 
* planning and assessing project based learning 
* Garage Band 
* podcasting overview 
* iWeb  
* uploading to the broward web server 
* comic life 
 
Or if there is anything else you would like me to do, please let me know. 
 
Thank you, 
Susannah

I spoke to LaCava an he said you now have your external hard drives. The problem is that they may still have content on them from the last teacher. If give them to LaCave this week, he will archive the projects for the last teacher and clean the drives up for you. He said they will be available the week after spring break. 
 
Also, some of you were experiencing slow performance on your teacher laptop (a constant spinning beach ball). I gave LaCava a couple of ideas on what might be causing it. Talk to him about resolving the problem.

Hi everyone - tomorrow is the first of my visits scheduled every Tuesday from now until the end of the project. I just want to check in to see if there is anything I can help with. I can work with your students if you wish, covering any aspect of the project. 
 
I'd also like to deliver the GLIDES timeline in poster size. It is covered in a laminate that you can use "dry erase" markers on. It should be a helpful aid in keeping your students on track. 
 
So here is the schedule (as posted on the blog) that I'll follow every Tuesday. We can see how it goes tomorrow and if there are any adjustments, just let me know. 
 
Jennifer Lostumbo: 2nd period (10:37-11:45) Rm416 
Sarah Luter: 2nd period (10:37-11:45) Rm411 
Deanne Reynolds: 3rd period (11:49-12:37) Rm207 
Danielle Thomas: 3rd period (11:49-12:37) Rm253  
Angine Tyghter: 4th period (1:50-2:30) Rm435 
Amy Ibanez: 5th period (2:34-3:22) Rm415 
Cheryl Himmel: 5th period (2:34-3:22) Rm108 
 
When I'm not in your rooms, you should be able to find me in the Media Center.

I've changed my class to 3rd period. This week we are sending home our kick off letter and media release form. I have the cameras and microphones in my class if anyone needs them.
