Enjoyed our session Skyping with the gentleman from Chile. How far technology has come that we are able to talk with and see someone thousands of miles away!
We then worked on PowerPoints which I am at least a little familiar with. I am glad to know how to add video and how to do a few extra things with PowerPoint that I did not previously know how to do.
The last thing we did this morning before lunch was to visit the T.K. Martin Center. This was so interesting to me and is truly an example of modern technology being put to good use. So many amazing things can be done now for people with special needs because of all the advances in technology. We certainly need to spread the word about this wonderful facility.
We ended the day creating a WebQuest. I am so glad to get to learn about Zunal.com. We have a shortage of technology in our schools but I believe that I can use my Mimio to do a WebQuest activity and still allow the students to work in groups to complete the activity. Zunal.com has a plethora of social studies webquests that are available for use.
