School is in full swing now and students are enthused about learning.
I have been using IPAD Apps to enhance my teaching.

New  Semester.  Students are off to a good start.

I am attending the Spring Virtual Conference and looking forward to all the new information.

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2010.  Looking forward to all the new technology changes for the new year.

This year I am again working with 7th Grade Resource students.  I am focusing on study, organizational skills, career planning, Positive Behavior.  this year my school implemented PBIS.

I am working toward the Educational Therapist Certificate.  This training will enhance my services to my special education population.

Recently won a FLIP camera.  Can’t wait to use it with my students.

I have been catching up on all the new information I learned at NECC09.  School will be here before I know it and I am supercharged to try out some of the new things I learned. I am preparing for a visit to the island of Dominica.

You are probalby wondering, what is a “Scope on a Rope”?

I asked myself the same thing.

It is a way of engaging your students no matter what their level is.

I attended a very informative workshop at Briarwood school in Santa Clara Ca.

http://strscopes.com/ This is the web link to this tool teachers can use in their science classroom.

We were able to see examples of how teachers have used this tool as well as examples of student work using the scopes.

This year I am teaching a class called Guided Studies.  It is a support class for my RSP students.  I have found some excellent videos on study skills that I will be sharing.  Please feel free to contact me if you are doing full Inclusion at the middle or high school.
