Description of presentation; Sometimes teachers need a chance to see some tools before they can come up with ideas for using them. In this session, a variety of online tools will be shared to help jump-start the brainstorming process. A few specific examples will be shown, others will just be overviews of the tools. This will be an open-discussion session, so feel free to raise your hand and ask questions. What better way to learn that ask and explore?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> The website page is a Glogster with links that pretty much says it all. She just walked us through the PowerPoint about Google docs. Click on the 31 ways to use Google docs and be guided through a PowerPoint presentation that gives lots of ideas and examples. There’s a link with applications and standards and a link to the web2.0 Guru. Lots of great links on the side navigation bar to tutorials about Web2.0 tools.Great website for information.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Sara Valesquez Solanco School District

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">No website for this activity: Speaker discussed tech integration and teaching across curriculum areas by having Spanish 5 students write and publish a children's bilingual story book and presenting it to a nursery school group.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Lauren Jonota Hempfield School District

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">This speaker discussed using SKYPE with her German classes. She made contact with several German TV stars and authors. She also uses skype to have several German 1 classes (who meet at the same time) converse with each other. Applications of SKYPE were to have kids speaking to other kids using the language. She did it across the school district, across the county with other school districts and across the world.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Description of Presentation: This presenter did a good job of explaining what a wiki is and how to use it in the classroom as well as excellent things to add to a wiki to make it fun and cool. She has a great website but, you need to join her wiki to see much of it. (You just need to have a wiki account and ask her to join and you can gain access.)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Presenter: Gretchen Hall (Cornwall-Lebanon School District)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Summary: This teacher did a great job of illustrating how any given assignment could be differentiated by allowing students a choice of presentation methods following a rubric to meet prescribed goals for demonstrating learning. She shows us applications of GoAnimate, Openzina and Notaland Web2.0 tools.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">** GoAnimate is an animation (comic strip) creator, Openzina is a magazine publishing site and Notaland produces note cards for a presentation (It's way cooler and more useful than it sounds!)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">http://iu13cff.wikispaces.com/Differentiating_Instruction_with_Projects

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">This website was a really cool presentation in itself and a great example of an excellent use of Prezi presentation maker.
