**MEETING TIME AND LOG WITH PEERS AND CHERYL PERSONAL TIME LOG (OUR LEADER):**

**February 9**: Group meeting to finalizePDP goals and schedule.. Meeting time 1.5 hours 4:30-6:00pm


 * February 16:** Group meeting to begin discussion and training on SmartBoard Meeting time 1.5 hours 4:30-6:00pm


 * February 23**: Group meeting, 1.5 hours 4:30-6:00pm **TOTAL HRS FOR MONTH: 4.5 **


 * March 1:** Group meeting, I too started exploring the Wiki technology and have started building 2 pages. Kathy S. began a Vision page on Feb. 20th and I'm editing it. I used the Google site and looked at the options of using it as a means of electronic communication in addition to my school email. I created a google site with 2 pages but am not sure if this is what I'm going to use. I really like the options that One-note offers and need to explore this avenue of technology more. 3 hours 9am-12pm


 * March 2:** Edit of vision page, definitions. 1 HOUR


 * March 7:** In the past couple of days I've been online looking at some very interesting sites. Cheryl linked us to severay resources. I read a couple of articles on ISTE standards and didn't realize that these are so thoroughly detailed. Wondering if we should eventually address these as a staff or at the least be introduced to the fact that they indeed exsist. OneNote is comples and a good potential resource to develope. I just can't imagine rebuilding all of my HARD binders that I currently use in the classroom. Maybe this would be better to try and have the kids use...but if I'm going to have them do it I need to find more time.......a lot more time......to learn it!! ~2 HOURS (more actually)
 * March 14th**. Group meeting . Reviewed what my other tech-mates are doing and responded to posts, 3 hours 8:00-11:00am


 * March 16:** Group meeting, Read and responded to posts that were made. I need to find some way to invite and try to encourage more staff to participate on the WIKI....I think that I might type up the web site address with a short easy description of how to access it and request membership.1.5 hours. 4:30-6:00pm


 * March 17**: Happy St. Pat's I have introduced the WIKI to my BIO II class and used up a large part of the entire hour just showing them the page(s) using the SMART BOARD. They had a lot of questions and apparently some are already "on" in Math. So, there were a couple of suggestions from Olivia and Cheston about what you could do and use it for. I am thinking of having the students post some work for case-studies on the WIKI. The first item of work is to create a page for each of them and then have them access it....request online membership??

Check in with a couple of them on how to get onto wikispaces.com...
 * March 18:** IN CLASS Reviewed some online safety ideas with everyone. Since these kids are using Facebook and Myspace...they know more then I do!!


 * March 19:** Students are assigned and given a deadline to request. I'm changing my mind on the assignment now. I think I'm going to have them develope powerpoint presentations on the digestive system and not only post these but present them in class...cover it from top to bottom...12 students - 12 divisions.


 * March 20 :** Group meeting, I made this up after class due to being gone! I shared with Rochelle, Kathy (actually she shared with me) what I'm/we are doing with our newly learned technology tool - WIKI. This tool is certainly enriching student learning in new and different ways. I'm also aware that staff really needs TIME to both explore and learn...together in a structured framework with a leader - - and in an unstructured climate. I unfortunately don't have a strong internet line at my house...so I have to come into school to update and work. **3** **HOURS**

**March 23:** Checked and read entries and discussions both on my pages...I have 3 now!! PDP page (this one), the BHHS VISION page ( for school improvement stuff) and my Science Page (for my teaching/learning community...my classes) Lot's to see and read/get caught up on here....plus I snuck into Kathy's page and Brett's!! **EARLY OUT! 2 hrs.**


 * March 24: SNOW DAY**

 **March 25:** REVIEWED A LOT OF WIKI SPACES...FINISHING UP IDEAS FOR MINE **1 hour**


 * March 26:** **UPDATED THIS PAGE** 1 hour **TOTAL HOURS FOR MONTH: 16.5 **


 * April 1:** Make-up meeting for both PDP groupls Looked at Google sites and the different wikispaces that other members of the group have posted. There is a lot of creative ingenuity out there!! I also, in visiting with other teachers from around the state, think/understand that we are doing some really great/advanced things here at BHHS BHMS! Proud to be a part of this! I'm just not having enough time to blog and twitter or do a facebook.....when do people do it? **1.5 hours**


 * Week of April 6th:** I have been working on the SIP visions page and updating it. Also, planning and communicating online with the PLC and SIP team to prep for a dinner/conversation to be held at my house. We will hopefully finalize a mission and vision product to present to the rest of BHHS staff after Monday the 13th!! **3.5 hours**


 * Week of April 13th:** SIP dinner was a success...whew!! I have updated the vision web page and spent quite a bit of time in BIO II getting kids organized and on the wiki. They are slow! I want this to be more of a student led and voluntary activity, but unless I hold them to it they won't do much. Back to the SIP...mission and vision are online...presented a short ditty to staff and encouraged them to get on...not much action there! Susie is going to rewrite the vision into statements not just a list of beliefs! **2.5 hours**


 * Week of April 20th:** I have not had time to do much else then ask my BIO II kids to get on and accept them when my email shows requests. But, one cool thing to mention is that my student teacher - Karysa - from Sheridan College will be presenting to the class next week and I spent a little time with her showing her the online / technology things I've been using . She will present/ teach a lesson next week using some of this material and I think she's def. going to utilize powerpoint. I used Publisher to build a field journal (6 pages!!!) for the BOSS (Becton Outdoor Science School) science classes I'm teaching on Friday the 24th!! Showed these to Susie and Ginger our instructional facilitators!! They were impressed. **6.5 hours**


 * Week of April 27th**: I'm being asked to finish this PDP up...so journalling is over and time logs will quit now! I'm late (again) in getting this to Cheryl. Sorry everyone! Did do a lot of things and this technology that I've been introduced to will be ongoing. Kids are on WIKI now and using eachothers powerpoints that have all been posted....now I need to take things a step further...just have to figure out in what direction! **2 hours**
