February Footnotes

Just attended a DEN seminar yesterday and have been playing with all kinds of creativity tools.  I hope to embed some in this blog or link to sites like Voicethread or xTimeline.  I’m excited to try some of the new interactive science units from Discovery Learning on our SmartBoard.

This week’s field trip to the Detroit Art Institute is with our second graders.  We will explore the American galleries.  I have developed a ScavengArt clue  sheet with 20  clues to  portraits, sculptures, landscapes, still lives, and narratives.  I will be recording student comments to create a podcast on their adventures.  Would love to hear from other teachers using or creating podcasts.
