Use Gaggle in the Classroom
By this date, I want to have successfully used Gaggle in my classroom. I was absent the day of the training and do not feel confident with the tool, but know it will be a great tool in my classroom. Gaggle can be used for student email, monitored blogging, dropbox and assignment submission, collaborative writing, flipped lessons (with embedded video) and much more. -

Society Exploration and Blogging
During third quarter students explore the essential question: How does societies expectations of me impact who I am? I want to add a blog component to this unit to make students feel like their voices are heard by a real audience. I have never had students blog before, but I think this unit will be a great fit! -
Grant Writing for iPads
I would like to write and submit at least one grant to receive iPads (or funding for iPads) for my classroom. I know I may not necessarily get the grant, but it's worth a try. -

iPad Creations and the Self Project
Each year I have my eighth graders complete a cumulative project that incorporates original writing and art and found literature that students select to represent who they are--their beliefs, interests, passions and personalities. This year I want to add an iPad component. This is in the beginning stages of planning, but I want to explore apps and possibilities and reserve the iPads well in advance. -
Summer Vacation - Personal Professional Development Begins
This summer I want to spend time experimenting with video creation, editing and sharing. I know I will need some time to accomplish this and that is why summer break is perfect! -
Stay connected with MAET students
This year I will no longer be taking grad school courses, but I want to stay connected with people I have met in the technology courses (students and professors) to stay current with technology. I also plan to stay connected to Twitter. I have access to some of the best online resources and articles through Twitter (and the people I follow).
