October Meeting: In October we shared our different areas or expertise. Each group shared what they had learned about assessments, backchannels, presentation tools, and other areas of exploration. We shared tips and tricks that we had learned over the past month while working with Weebly and spent some time working on polishing our Weebly sites to make them even more impressive. Finally, we discussed Universal Design. I shared how we can better utilize our school systems learning management system - Schoology - to serve our students individual needs better. I showed the group some distinguishing features about how they can better organize their courses, assign grades, utilize discussion boards, take advantage of learning objectives, incorporate badges, and diminish cheating with the lockdown browser. These are all tools that are easy to use with Schoology and right at every teacher and students finger tips. Over the month of October teachers are focusing on how they can utilize special tools in Schoology to make sure that they are personalizing their course for each individual students needs so that they can come back and share great ideas with the group in November!

Keri HolmanI am a 7th year English 2 teacher at Jesse C. Carson High School. I am the girls tennis coach and the prom committee adviser at Carson. After being awarded a 21st century classroom many years ago I became passionate about all things technology and professional development. This year I've taken over our iInspire team in hopes of getting the newer teachers at Carson acquainted with one another and allow them to share strategies with each other! It's a great way to get to know new people around the school while still getting the opportunity to grow as educators. Archives
