 * My Reflections**
 * How I used Senteo clickers
 * I have used the Senteo clickers in my class on a weekly basis. I do all of my vocabulary tests on with them. My students also enjoy taking the tests this way. I have also used it for a math review.
 * How I used the document camera during curriculum instruction
 * I use the document camera in my classroom every day! I use it in place of my overhead projector. I have also used it to demonstrate how to do art projects or to project manipulatives so students can see them easier. I really didn't know what I was missing before I had one in my classroom. It is a great tool!
 * My in-depth reflection, discussing future plans as to how I hope to incorporate what I've have learned in this program.
 * I feel my students have benefited greatly from the Engaged Classroom program. I have used most of the tools in my classroom often. One thing that we didn't get to use very much were the video cameras. I look forward to incorporating those into my teaching more next year. I also have lots of plans to use the laptops and digital cameras more. I feel the data projector is a great addition to my classroom. I use it all the time! I didn't realize how much I used it until the day that I misplaced my cord to attach my computer to it. I had to use another teacher's and I was borrowing and returning it all day long! I can't wait to incorporate all of the technology tools even more next year with my new class!

Monday: Today was a great day filled with new and exciting ideas to take back to my classroom. I am excited to take all of this new knowledge back to teach my trainees and help get them excited!

Tuesday: I learned a lot of new "tricks" today. I am getting even more excited about taking all this stuff back to use in my classroom!

Wednesday: I am so excited to use delicious.com a lot! I am also excited to share GoogleDocs with my team!

Thursday: I have learned a lot from the last four days. Everything will be very beneficial to my teaching. Thank you PJ and Bonnie!
