Five peers and I are in Fort Smith, Arkansas, training with their next group of teachers who will also be receiving a class set of mini-laptops this fall.

Today we utilized these (among others, of course!) techie tools:

• Etherpad:  Here’s one we worked on today!  I really see the application of this tool within the classroom.
• Protopage:  My first Protopage….not sure how much I will use this one but still fun to play with…may change my mind as I develop this more.
• Penzu:  This may be my favorite!  Maybe because it looks like a real piece of paper?  Definitely will go more “green free” this fall!

Currently, here’s what I see…literally…three of my peers “playing” on their mini’s. 

• Peer One – researching professional development reads.
• Peer Two – creating our theme t-shirt…can you say “cafe”?
• Peer Three – updating her Reader.

Have I used the word nerd yet?  Definitely some of the coolest people you will ever meet!  Definitely teachers that our students will be blessed to have this fall.  Definitely leaders within our district.

Definitely exciting!
