Diamond Divas.

Sabrina, Brynn, Dolleen, and Kathleen, otherwise known as

the t-shirt committee, discuss possible designs for the 010

KMWP Summer Institute shirt. Im not sure if they chose

the final design, but by the end of the day, Kathleen was

taking orders and sizes.

Shaun, Kathleen, and Nini discuss what they love, hate,

and fear at the beginning of Brynns presentation.

Its Better to Keep a Friend from Falling than to Help Him U

Shaun and Kathleen spot Jen while she attempts to turn on the projector despite her fear of heights. When the proje

could not be revived, Jen came up with a back-up plan and brought in a different projector. We all got a little extra wr

time and the mornings presenters got a little extra anxiety preparation time. By lunchtime, we were back on sched

Blogging for Apples.

Kristen watches as we all at-

tempt to use a variety of sentence

structures to blog about apples.

Those of us who were nervous

about using blogs in our clasroom

felt more at ease after Kristens

demo.

Pam presents ways to use cell

phones, iPods, and Facebook to

engage students in learning and

technology use of her own family

natives.

Whos Afraid of the Big, Bad

Wolf?

Brynn illustrates how to use point

of view to teach students about

empathy while Tommy admires

her fabulous Venn diagram. As

a result of Brynns presentation,

we all felt Ninis pain when

Brynn became expressive with

her hands!

Reflections from Wednesday, June 3,010.Pams demo left me convinced that technology needs to be incorporated into the classroom; however, my tecnology skills do not meet my enthusiasm. --Montyne

I wrote an I Am poem today. I think Ill also use this activity with my students, even in conjunction w

Brynns activity. Its good to reflect on who you are and helps one understand better why they have the perspe

tives in life that they have in situations. All good stuff :0) --Dolleen

Not only is this experience stretching my writing, it is also stretching my teaching! Thank you all who have

part in the SI 010! --Jessica
