Four corners activity
Four questions posted, as a group we walked around and provided answers to the following questions.
How is your district saving money during tight money economy?
How does your organization collaborate and communicate with others?
How do you collect data about staff development?
How does your organization engage every educator in effective professional learning everyday?
http://www.dimdim.com/ web conferencing that works for free
Build your own video hosting for staff development with http://clip-bucket.com/
Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools have developed a video resource using clip bucket to share PD videos. They hired two teachers to do the editing, they wanted to be sure the person doing the editing understood pedagogy. District has videographer but he does not have edu background.
http://www.polleverywhere.com/ Great polling.
www.jingproject.com to use the video (a swf file) you must change it so use www.zamzar.com
Poll Everywhere www.polleverywhere.com They have a free account and you can download the result slide and include it in a PowerPoint or Keynote. If you use short answer it is a great method to brainstorm with your class.
When generating a word cloud with Wordle.net use the ~ to put a space between words that you want to stay together but have a space between them.

Creating guidelines or norms for group behavior makes collaboration and group meetings more effective.
Name Tag Reflections
To get introduced to each other we walked around and introduced ourselves to each other and topics came up on the screen. We discussed the topic then on cue we moved to meeting someone else.
Questions:
If someone "Googled" you, what are two things they would learn about you?
What social networking tools do you use and with whom?
Whose blog do you read? Why?
What Web 2.0 tools do you use and how?
