# Response

1Sometimes my brain was "full" and I wasn't sure what to do next. I was able, however, to find an area to work on.

2 My eyes were iritated by the end of the day.

3 N/A

4 Being frustrated by not being able to get at voicethread and photostory.

5 n/a

6 the Big 6 Research Skills activities.

7 not having any time to work in the morning

8

The hands on part for me is frustrating because of my overall lack of computer savvy- I think if I had a specific task to accomplish, and/or we had stations to move through I would be better accomodated. However, I realize that many of the more adept students would be impeded by this!

8. If you could change one thing about today, what would it be?  

# Response

1

Having some clear ideas in my head to work on for class lessons. I've come up with orientation/class information ideas, but I neeed to think about how to use StoryMaps and Wikis into reading....Creating questions/discussions starters for my students to respond to.

2 Like the photo story

3 Fine

4I would have liked to have some more experience with VoiceThreads and Photostory.

5 I'd have a newer Mac, for the Mac/Ms choice function.

6More time to each share our favorite resources... I hope we will each add things to the techsi.wikispaces.com, perhaps in our pages

7I would prefer to have more guided practice with the blogs,audacity, voice threads, etc.

10. What questions are rumbling around in your head? What other comments would you like to add that will help make this Tech Summer Institute very useful for you?

# Response

1 How to integrate these programs into my lessons and subject matter.

2 just need to try this out at my school and see how it all goes.....

3 General questions about how to use the technology

4What online writing tools can I use with my students? How will google docs be useful to me? Can my students who do not use microsoft word convert their word processed documents to word through google docs?

5I think today was pretty interesting; I really like the fact that we will access to this information on the Wiki so I can refresh my memory on some things. So often, if you don't use it right away, you forget stuff.

6 All this is rumbling around, I need time to sort and try things.

7 are we all going to share email to share our projects once they are put into play? :-)

8 Why I still can't import my own music on my photstories

9I was very interested in online quiz tools and documents that allow "hyperlinks" that direct students to definitions, answers, etc.

10It has been very useful-- it is just so new to me- I am one of the immigrants who still has an accent!
