I see more student engagement as well as an increase in purposeful collaboration and communication among students. I see a renewed commitment to our profession in our teacher participants in this training. I see partnerships developing between the various stakeholders in our communities. Overall, I sense that this technology initiative has the potential to transform how schools do business. I am so proud to be part of a school system truly on the cutting edge. With eagerness, I accept the challenge to continue growing, learning, and exploring the best methods for raising the standards for our students.” // || **Kim Knight ** || **Webcasting; 21st Century Classroom: Jing ** || [|http://whsbulldogs.wiksipaces.com] <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">  || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Business Education; Winterboro School ** //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">“ ////<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I use technology as a tipping point to empower my students to build the skills that will enable them to choose their own path.

Whether it is learning personal finance, formatting a letter or creating a presentation, instructional strategies have included using projects, cooperative learning, simulations, real world experiences, guest speakers, Internet access to 21st Century tools, and computer/technology applications. We have played the stock market, marketed states, created fictitious businesses along with business plans, and simulated working in a global business and detective agency. Student learning is impacted and enhanced daily by using the above strategies and Web 2.0 tools such as Wikispaces, Weebly, CamStudio, Vokis, Blabberize, Animoto, Voicethread, Mixbook, and Windows live. FBLA members have enjoyed competing in technology fairs, business tournaments, and state competitions which has produced winners in website creation and design, general applications, business communications, and business calculations.” //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">BB Comer ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Oren Barclay ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">Jason Howell, Emeka Barclay (other team members) || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">[|www.msbarclaysclassroom.com] <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">http://bbcmyway.wikispaces.com <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Social Studies – High School ** //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">We have a class Wikispaces site. ////<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">A student will demonstrate a World History Jeopardy game and power point presentation.

It definitely keeps them engaged, but it also pushes them to work a little harder because learning what to do may have been difficult for some of them. They were willing to do it because they were interested and wanted to see the final outcome. I hope to progress in my use of technology in the classroom in the upcoming years.” //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 7pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Emily Young ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Movie Maker, The Hat; How Photo Story can be used w/ writing || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">http://eyoungwhs.wikispaces.com <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">  || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">6th Grade; All subjects ** //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">“This year my 6th grade students have had the opportunity to use technology in a variety of ways. For example, in writing we have used the internet to compile information for research projects and have then turned our projects into Vokis. We also used Photo Story to create an “All About Me” slideshow that will be used later to write an autobiography. We have also tied technology into Story town, our reading series, by using Quizlet to practice using vocabulary words.” //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Gifted Teachers ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Denise Ivey ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Digital Photo Story, PowerPoint, Picasa || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Melanie Glover ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Ikeepbookmarks.com || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Angela York ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Stock Market Game || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Susan Brewer ** || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Story Publishing || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> || //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;">“This has been one of the most challenging learning experiences I have ever experienced.

This classroom will be equipped with a screen, projector, document camera, Interwrite Pad, and twelve computer stations. A webcasting station will be set up to broadcast all of the activities taking place in this classroom. Students will teach the lessons while describing how technology tools are used for learning. The “students” will be guests and visitors interested in learning a 30 minute lesson. ** Time Teachers Lesson ** 9:00 a.m. Jennifer Barnett’s students Use Flip Video Cameras to make a short video 9:30 a.m. Sharon Wright’s students Skype messaging for English discussion 10:00 a.m. Kim Broadhead’s students Scratch 10:30 a.m. Kim Knight’s students Screencasting 11:00 a.m. Shannon Hill’s students Qlippet 11:30 a.m. Robbie Stewart’s students Windows Live 1:00 p.m. Amanda Spurling’s students Science lesson with Flip Video cameras

Student achievement has increased due to the hands-on interactive method in which skills are acquired. Students in my classroom have utilized iPods for audio books, interactive whiteboard, CPS system, wikispaces, online activities such as games and blogs, wireless slate, and digital imaging devices. The use of blogs and wikis has also been beneficial in collaboration and communication with parents. Before the 21st Century Initiative, a simple overhead, CD, or computer would be considered my technology integration. Now with so much more to offer, I can't imagine teaching that way again.” //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> ||
