Melissa's+Journaling+Page

And it continues! Today was another day of our iPad work! These teachers are amazing!! Things I noticed: 1. We collected a **great amount of data** from our students. The teachers were sure to complete the surveys by October 1st which is a great feat considering the hustle and bustle of the new school year.The data was informative and interesting as we learned about student beliefs and perceptions about technologies and school. 2. **Lesson planning** - It seems there is a great amount of good engaging work for our students and much more to come! Thanks to our teachers for the work they do in order to prepare engaging and rigorous work for our students. 3. **Visitations** - There was much excitement as teachers prepared to visit other schools to student iPad use in action! I can't wait to hear about all the things they see and learn from each other. 4. **Journaling** - Today is the first official day of journaling. Let's hope we can all keep up with this and keep some good anecdotal data as we tell our story of the iPad journey. 5. I saw **a new article** today (thanks, Frank). Virginia is using iPads to teach Social Studies. Check out the link on our [|iPad wiki.]
