This is a SPECIAL page for November 16th Early Dismissal. The elementary group not heading to CGI will be going through this material.

"I Will Be A Producer, Not a Consumer!" Exploring Tools That Can Help As you explore the wonderful array of tools and platforms to share your voice and ideas with the world, take some time to imagine the possibilites these will have for your students and colleagues. Check out the following wikis/blogs:
 * 1) Cools Tools for School
 * 2) Find the Right Tool Wiki
 * 3) Web 2.0 For Schools Wikispaces
 * 4) 20 Best Speech Therapy Blogs
 * 5) The PE Geek

These are great places to start for resources! Feel free to exlore as many resources as you like or dive deep into a platform you have been wanting to explore. We will ask that you contribute your reflections of the tools you explore on our Discussion Tab for this page (others have recorded thoughts on some tools on the following Google Doc - Digital Tools Matrix), so as others make their journey from consumer to producer, you can know that you have helped guide them. Consider the following as you test out what tools work best for you: Have a wonderful time!
 * What did you love?
 * What were the challenges?
 * How would you use this tool?
 * Who would you recommend it for?
 * Are there drawbacks?

If you finish early, or if you've been working on setting up a PLN through Twitter - you may continue on to the next segment. Otherwise - stick to the tools and finding things for your instruction.
