k12online07.wikispaces.com/Trussville+Educational+... Trussville Educational Technology ConferenceAbout Trussville City Schools We are a new school system with 4 schools, 4,500 students, and 300 faculty and staff. Suzanne Freeman, Superintendent, is committed to move our school system from good to great. A part of this commitment is to develop a greater capacity for 21st Century skills with faculty, staff, students, parents, and the community. To begin this process, she hired Shawn Nutting as Directory of Technology who brought his expertise from the IT business world to create an infrastructure to support Web 2.0 in the classroom. In 2007, April Chamberlain was brought on board as a teacher in residence to assist the technology department and teachers to understand and utilize the tools and resources that are available to educate students. Design of TETC 2006 In order for a large scale 21st Century program, you must have teachers who are more than comfortable with technology. Last year, we created the Trussville Educational Technology Conference to enable teachers to attend 4 hours of technology professional development during a teacher workday in January. The conference featured the technology staff who assisted in teaching teachers how to maintain their SharePoint webpages, uses of the wireless laptops there were to receive at the end of the conference, and some classes exploring Web 2.0 skills. However, because the majority of teachers had never even heard of blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc., it was extremely difficult to locate people to train during the conference. EvaluationThe eMINTS National Center is pleased to announce the designation of the Education Development Center as the program’s external evaluation consultant beginning March 1, 2006. EDC brings nationally recognized expertise to the eMINTS National Center’s evaluation processes. Senior advisors for the project include Margaret Honey, Co-Director of EDC’s Center for Children and Technology, and Glenn Kleiman, Vice President and Senior Research Scientist at EDC, where he directs the Center for Online Professional Education.

www.speedofcreativity.org/2006/01/19/edifying-stud... Edifying student bloggersMark Ahlness’ Mighty Writers are 3rd grade students at Arbor Heights Elementary School in Seattle, Washington. I think pre-service teachers in certification courses should be required to visit classroom blogs like Mighty Writers and leave positive, supportive comments and feedback for the students. This assignment can potentially both edify the young student writers, and educate the pre-service teachers about the powerful and effective ways web 2.0 technologies can be utilized in the “real” classroom. I did this last fall with my students in Microcomputer Applications. They read and commented on posts by Bob Sprankle’s Room 208 3rd and 4th graders in Wells, Maine. Mark also maintains a professional blog titled, “Mark’s edtechblog,” social bookmarks, and a personal homepage. Go Mark and go Mighty Writers!!!
