I plan on using e-Portfolios in my classes next year to replace my Interactive Notebooks in an effort to become as paperless as possible.

I am in the process of building my own “PLN” but sometimes it is hard to keep up with everything. I have not been able to “get into” Twitter. Ning is blocked at my school and my off hours are the time that I have to read. I do read many blogs and belong to several e-mail based teacher groups. It makes me feel less alone in the big education world especially teaching in a small school and being the only physics teacher. I do also frequently search around the web for what my children call my “subject of the day.” Today’s subject of the day was “Web 2.0 in Education.” I have been using Discovery Streaming quite often with my freshmen classes and would like to incorporate other Web 2.0 applications with all my classes. My goal this week is to incorporate at least 2 new Web 2.0 applications with my older classes.

As I was looking at this presentation, I was thinking about my own classroom. I teach at a 1:1 laptop school. I turned down having a Promethean Board in my classroom a couple of weeks ago. With a tablet laptop, projector, and a document camera, it seems like the Promethean Board would have been too much of a good thing. I do wish that I had more room in my classroom because the only practical set-up is desks in rows and this does not promote the spirit of collaboration that I want in my classroom.
Cool Web Tool

I have been looking at something to use to post assignments. I found it with Wallwisher.com. It is very easy to use and can be embedded into a web page or a link can be sent to students. You can make it private where only you can edit it or make it a group project and anyone cane edit it. You can also put images or video into it.

Louisiana Science Teacher’s Convention
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
by Gina Oldendorf
I will be presenting a session at the LSTA convention on “Notebooking in the Science Classroom.” It will focus on how to effectively use a science notebook in the middle or high school classroom. I have used notebooks in one form or another for the past 5 years. I do this even though I have taught in a 1:1 laptop school for the past 7 years. Everything that is graded goes in the notebook and I pick up about 5 notebooks from each class each day to give feedback on their work. The notebook is where I do all my formative assessments. I know that theory says that formative assessment should not be graded but if I did not give some points, then some would not do it so I compromise and give points for the formative assignments.
