So I tried out the Audacity software to record something great that happened in the classroom. What I would like to really figure out is how to mesh together my powerpoint presentation, my audio track and the smartboard notations made during the powerpoint all together so absent students can experience the class just as if they were in the classroom. I am sure there is a way to get all three parts into one file and easily loaded to our teacher webpages. District tech training for a day on this topic for people who are interested would be great!
I would also like to see students create pre-lab VODcasts to help students understand how to complete the lab.
After scrolling through some of the other blogs I notice a common theme - people are having a hard time finding time to get through the essentials and having a hard time finding great ways to incorporate the essentials into the classroom. Hopefully LPS will realize that teachers are in desperate need of new technology in the classroom (smart boards, projectors, laptops, etc.) as well as great tech training, in order to fully incorporate the great ideas being presented in this class.

I agree with the fact that we don't have enough technology in the LPS. I wouldn't have been exposed to half of this information - let alone had the TIME to incorporate it if it weren't for this course and it wasn't mandatory to attempt/complete the essentials.
