Playing with Technology
The new Western Massachusetts Writing Project Technology Team held its first major event — Technology Across the Curriculum — that drew about 25 teachers to the Norris Elementary School in Southampton on a Saturday morning in May.
The event featured workshops on social networking, podcasting and digital storytelling, and the featured speaker was Mike Flynn, the Massachusetts Teacher of the year. Mike talked about video production in the lower elementary classroom.
If you missed the event, or just want to re-live it, there are three podcasts that you can listen to or download into your computer or MP3 player:
- Kevin Hodgson’s introduction and Mike Flynn’s Keynote speech
- Reflections on using Digital Storytelling in the Classroom
- A Day in a Sentence Activity from the Audiocasting in the Classroom workshop
- Final Wrap-up by Kevin
Finally, here are two comics created by participants in the Digital Storytelling workshop:
If you could not attend the conference, you can still access our Technology Across the Curriculum Weblog, where all the workshop links and activities are located.
