I added 3 additional hours to my elementary and middle school time. I went back to the elementary middle school for an hour and shared by reading enrichment (Percy Jackson) with another fourth grade class and I checked out books to the class.
At the end of the day I went back to the middle school media center to complete my staff development on wikis, blogs, and other tools to enhance wikis and blogs.
My staff development members were Language Arts teachers, a Science teacher, and the media specialist. The 8th grade team already does a blog for the students to share ideas and conversations; however, the teachers and the media specialist were interested in wikis (I provided wikispaces, pbworks, and wix as possible) web page sites for them to use.
I think the most exciting feature of my presentation was the voki.com site. All the teachers could see a place to embed the vokis, whether it was to create a character from a story, or to just create a voki to explain science terms or vocabulary.
