**GROW**
What you were wondering about...

Here's the 80+ page Teacher Manual: [|AFI Screen Education] (PDF)
 * //I want to know more about the AFI Screen Ed program. //**

//**How can I incorporate videos into my technology curriculum? **// Here is Dr. Lodge McCammon's site on[| Flipping the Classroom] and here's a [|FREE WEBINAR] you can attend TONIGHT!

//**What is the best format for sharing videos with second grade families? **// For recording/exporting the "universal" format is mp4. You can upload a variety of places. One secure way to share videos with your class might be to have your parents/student join an Edmodo group. You could upload the videos (under 100mb) and let families login and download them for viewing. You might also consider a shuttefly account for sharing class videos and photos. If you'd rather share with a link, you can upload to and share from any one of the following services - Dropbox, Screenshare.com, SchoolTube, YouTube //** Also **// - look at **[|ge.tt]** for sharing folders full of files.

//**Can I have success uploading videos with my class? **// Yes.

//**What other activities online or apps are appropriate for a first grade class? **// Here are a few sites to get you started: [|ABCya.com], [|Starfall.com], [|switchzoo.com], [|eManipulatives], [|kerpoof.com] And some apps: WilderQuest, Boggle Free, Math Doodles, Math Fact Master, Sight Words by Little Speller, Sock Puppets, just to name a few. Does anyone else in the group have some more suggestions?

//**How can I get kids to create more in a 21st Century environment (when) school does not have technology or funding to support activities. **// Look into education grants. [|OCCUE]has an $1500 technology grant they award every year. Start with en educational goal, determine what technology you need to accomplish that goal, and write up a grant proposal.


 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif;">Long Term Goals: **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif;"> I share these so we can help and "encourage" others.

"<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">One of my long term goals would be to have my students take notes on their iPads for English. I would like to have them send their homework to me via email. I would also like to have their assignment books/calendar on the iPad. I would like to send them their weekly assignments via email on the weekends."

"<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">I would love to create three wikis for my science classes"
 * Lani**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">"My long term goal is to work with the other teachers at my school to get them incorporating more technology into their everyday lessons. I need to share more of the wonderful resources I am finding at TEC21 with the others at my school."
 * Michelle**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">"I would like to redo my teacher website and make more resources available to the parents through the website."
 * Diana**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">"I want to use the storybird books created with the help of my first grade class, as homework. Students will need to go online and read a story we have made in class. Then they will need to record it for their weekly reading log. I will start by requiring the students to use it once a month or more. <span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">I also want to share a variety of websites and apps that I have learned with my co-workers."
 * Gail**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">"Have class make a Storybird and upload it to Edmodo."
 * Chris**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px;">"To engage the other teachers into using more technology in their classrooms on a daily basis throughout K-8...this does not mean watching videos only. Helping teachers reaching the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy with the technology aspect of learning, especially creating."
