In the CTER Room in TAPPED IN:

JimL asks, "anyone ready to give TAPPED IN a try with their presentation?"

MicheleLJ says, "Yes, I will try this"

JimL says, "great Michele"

JimL says, "try typing a leading quote, and then your pasted text."

MicheleLJ says, "S.T.I.C.K.I.E.S."

MicheleLJ says, "Students Trained In Creating Kid-centered Individual Electronic Showcases :"

MicheleLJ says, "MY project involves the creation of electronic portfolios with my first grade students."

MicheleLJ says, "I am in a unique position this year. My students will be looping- this means that I will teach them both first and second grade."

MicheleLJ says, "Therefore, I wanted to develop a project that could grow with them. My plan is to add to the portfolio throughout the two year period."

MicheleLJ says, "I have created templates for the students to use in the development of their portfolios. Templates will allow my young learners to create this project in a simplified format."

MicheleLJ says, "My daughter is going into first grade so I used her to create a sample portfolio. I will use this sample portfolio to show my students this fall. She liked the design my own slide the most."

MicheleLJ says, "She also enjoyed inserting the clip-art images. She needed help with spelling but overall adapted well to the technology used."

MicheleLJ says, "These portfolios will be presented by the students to their parents during Parent-Teacher conferences in November."

MicheleLJ says, "If you have not viewed my project it is located at:"

TamelaM asks, "I liked the template idea for young learners. Did it take a long time to develop them?"

MicheleLJ says, "It took a while to create but will be worth the effort this fall."

JimL projects the URL:

JimL asks, "what do the other teachers and administrators in your school think about this?"

ShellieB says, "Do you like the concept of looping? It will help with recordkeeping for 2 years."

MicheleLJ exclaims, "They are excited about the use of eportfolios!

MicheleLJ says, "This is our first year to loop I will let you know more next year."

MeganF exclaims, "That is great!"

DavidMS exclaims, "Very nicely done!"

TamelaM asks, "Are you going on tour?"

PattyC exclaims, "Yes....really nice!!"

MicheleLJ laughs at Tamela

JimL says, "exciting to think about doing this with kids as young as those you work with."

JimL asks, "any more questions for Michele?"
