I am in extreme pain so I'll keep it short.
I did - make Speak test, contact edutek about learning series and puzzleview (they'll send updates on usb), contact examview about CPS/Examview integration (emailed a reply - out of office but will get back to you soon). It doesn't seem like I did much else... OH YES! Now I remember, I hacked around PLATO a whole bunch to see if I could wrest any more use from it. And it was pretty useful. There was an entire grammar scope and sequence in FasTrack language arts which looked pretty promising. Also, I went through the types of reports that can be generated using FasTrack and found some good and simple site usage feedback that I think will help improve accountability day to day (or use to use).
Oh, I also used the flip to do some class captures on video that I can use in my presentation for the board. I realized today that I should storyboard that bad boy just like I make my students do. So my own assignment kicks in now.
Also, K. A. has figured out how to grasp and grapple a bit and I couldn't be happier. She commandeered a half dozen unused tablets and will start integrating them into class during the third quarter. That's the way to get things done - hunt down resources and use 'em good! I wonder what she's gonna do with them?! I imagine we'll talk as she gets closer to deployment. She's doing a lot of cooperative group learning stuff so the 1:4 ratio might work great for her.
Well, I got a lot of pain and discomfort to work through today and I don't think I'll tell you any more about it. Just can't wait to get home and take some medicine or something!!!
Well, students are taking Speak final tests, so I want to get them on camera working. Later.
