This week: I-Movies and Ed Tech "Mentoring"
I found the conference call with Marcie from Philadelphia Science Academy to be very interesting. She shared many tips and experiences from her first year of the 1:1 laptop program with 110 freshman. I was initially interested because it's a science based high school and I know that the Detroit Science Center plans to open a similar school in 2008. The actual conversation was really about technology use and didn't really discuss curriculum much... which I should have expected! There is so much to be done with technology and this school sounds amazing! The students will really be ahead of other students in this way. I would like to share the info we learned with the folks at DSC in some way - probably through the Science Docent program that we were using at DuPont.
The progress of our Point/Counterpoint group is that we hope to use an I-movie format to capture various uses of MySpace plus get Liz's set of articles as reference.
Speaking of DuPont, my old boss got a mention in the Detroit News in an article about Paint Colors! Check it out - do you think that Brown is really a luxury color? Hmmmm...
