This past week has been a week of new opportunities. Throughout the week, I have had the chance to explore new technologies that I never knew existed until then. Many of which I can see me implementing in my classroom - wikispaces, google docs/pages, voicethread, Ning, blogs, Skype, and Jing - just to name a few.
On Friday, June 20, 2008, we presented our final projects to the class. Within each of our projects, we had to use at least six different technologies. Out of the three groups - two used wikis and one used a Ning. Having to present to each of our projects helped to showcase all of our talents and collaboration. I'm in awe of all the talent our Cohort possesses. It is awesome to see all these skills being used. I have a lot to learn from all of them.
Google docs was a major tool in our team planning. Life was so much simpler with sharing our brainstorming page with each other. When changes needed to be made, we recorded and saved it. Immediately, all the other group members had access to those changes. I felt this process of sharing information was much more streamlined than emailing a change or saving the change to a disk/flash drive of some sort.
To end the week on a good note, Theressa, Seth and myself created some 'wooter' t-shirts to wear on Friday. We wanted to share with Dr. Zeitz how his enthusiasm has caught-on by presenting him with a t-shirts, also. I think he has wooterizered all of us.
