Week 3 - Think Out Loud


I think I went over and beyond in my introduction therefore this part is a little difficult for me.  I am not quite sure of the expectation but I think I am suppose to say where I will present.  My project will be a presentation and I would like to share the Web 2.0 tools with educators.  My workshop would be called Techniques for Motivating and Engaging Students.  I would like to present to all grade levels as web 2.0 tools are for all grade levels. I would also like to introduce the communication tools such as schoology, blogging, twiducate just to name a few.  I have already done a small presentation for seven educators ranging from grades 1-4 and they have spread the word because they really enjoyed it and found it to be very effective.  This was part of my phase 1 and 2 cbr project.  As I am not in the United States I have chosen a place in Bermuda that I could do this presentation.  The Bermuda Union of Teachers provide professional development for teachers and I could do the professional development at their annual conference or I could do sometime throughout the year.  As educators in Bermuda we have to have some many credit hours of professional development a year in order to keep our teacher license.  So the opportunity will be there for me to do a presentation as a professional development workshop.  It would be really great if administrators and principals could attend.   This would allow them to see how there teachers will benefit from this workshop and they will also benefit.  This could be a stepping stone to change in our thinking or a shift in paradigm.
