Weaver+Work+(Ron)

This is Ron Weaver from Clio High School.

I feel that I learned quite a bit this year in Technology Trailblazers.

One of the most useful to me in my classroom was the introductin of Drop Box. Prior to learning about this in class, I used to email files back and forth between school and home, and sometimes will disastrous results. Drop Box now allows me to keep my most important files readily available no matter where I go. Also, with the technology issues at school, I was unable to have my students save their documents that we prepare in class. Since learning about Drop Box, I have all of my students using it. It is now invaluable to me! Another great tool I learned about was Photo Peach. Having this site to create short videos is awesome. I created an opening video for my teacher website. The video can be seen at [|Business Video] and is only about 1 minute long. I didn't even mention the Jing, Audacity, Itunes University, and the many others. Although I don't use all of the cool things we covered in our sessions at this point in time, I certainly hope to in the future. With our hectic schedules, it is hard to get time to practice. Nevertheless, I feel the program is very helpful and should be continued, if funds are available. Jim was a great teacher and had so many great suggestions. It was a pleasure working with him. I don't see anything that needs to be changed in the program. It is just a shame it had to end.

See you all later! (Thanks JIM!)
