Final Project = Web 2.0 Final Project = ==**This class has been an asset for NEW HIGHLAND ACADEMY. It has opened an new door to knowledge to our students.**==

A new Technology Program for 2011-2012 with a tentative curriculum that is very ambitious and rich in its content has been presented and welcome.
==**We started with a generous donation of 20 laptop computers, this allowed us to make a //technology dream//, __a reality__. Every week, for 6 weeks, it will be a rotation of technology curriculum for grades k through 5th grade for 50 minutes at NHA. Below is a picture of our NHA technology pilot program with a second grade.**== = media type="custom" key="9933441" align="center" = = NHA PILOT PROGRAM 2010-2011 =

For the Technology Program for 2011-2012 I would like to use tools learned in this course such as: Storybirds, Vokis, Voicethreath and Googledocs. We are aware that time may be a constraint but a complementary open computer lab hours would be a creative option to supports students interest and motivation. = __**Storybird:**__ = I used this to teach the kids two basic concepts: 1) Team work 2) In soccer every one must play and touch the ball

[|How the kids learn some of the rules for soccer]
Next year the students will be able to create there own Story for the sport of their choice.

= __**Vokis**:__ = I used this to give easy and clear instruction on how to access the computers.

= media type="custom" key="9933485" = = Click and Listen =

We will be using this with the kids so they can share creating their own Vokis
There is a lot of work to do! I have a team of colleagues whom are ready to be part of this "Technology Adventure", I am confident that using these tools we will be able to complement the students' learning, therefore academic success.
