Feedback Survey for PDDay2010

Hi Everyone- A few things:


1. Please take the Professional Development Day 2010 Survey online as soon as you can. It will only take a few minutes. Here is the link . Please take the survey whether you attended STEM, Archery, Mohonasen, VESID, or even if you didn’t attend at all. We are interested in all feedback!

2. If you are interested in purchasing John Robinson’s book, here is the link. He promised that he would provide an autographed copy to anyone from Mohonasen who ordered through this link. (http://shop.wmht.org/shop/home.php) He also sent me a note thanking us for being very welcoming and mentioning how much he enjoyed his morning here. 


3. Please check out the 70 incredible Resources page that was used in Workshop A1. It can be found here: (http://mohonit.wikispaces.com/PD+Day) This is just a sampling of the unbelievable number of high quality resources that are becoming available in recent months. You wont believe some of this stuff.  Oh, by the way- to anyone who was in A1- Remember those awesome things you could do with Google Earth? Well I forgot to show you that the free software also includes a FLIGHT SIMULATOR with which you can fly all over the Globe at whatever altitude you want in an F-16 or in a Twin Engine. Last night I toured the whole capital district from Sacandaga Lake to Thatcher Park and over to Albany in a twin engine. Then I jumped into the F-16 and shot up to the Northern Adirondacks to check out my camping spot on Fish Creek Pond! Honestly, as I said to someone just today- a year ago you would get 10 links to resources and find that one or maybe two was actually a legit resource. Now it seems like 9 of the ten are excellent resources and one of those completely amazes you…




I urge you to continue to develop your personal learning network! Please don’t forget to fill out the survey.  Here is the link .

Several Resources...

Check out this blog post from FreeeTech4Teachers. It describes a website called Udemy.com. It seems like something worth exploring for anyone who wants to look into creating an online classroom environment.

Keith and I have added more resources to the 70 Incredible Resources page. It is probably a good site to add as a bookmark or put in your iGoogle page)...Remember- you can add to this page as well... just make an account at wikispaces.com and jump on board.
