The Day of Tech Tuesday

Tech Tuesday was awesome, but was a work in progress to get it ready for the first time this school year.  Tech Tuesday is provided to the 9-12 grade students in their advisories at the end of the day on the 1st Tuesday of each month to better help them learn a little bit more about using technology in the classrooms with their laptops (I am looking more into how to provide this to students at the Middle School).
Last year this was provided to the HS students through videos displayed on all of the TVs in the classroom.  Well this year, there are no TVs in the HS teachers' classrooms, but each teacher has a laptop that connects to their mounted LCD projector.  So I came up with the idea of using Jing, which is an application located in your Applications folder to screencast with video and audio how to use different technology applications such as their SchoolFusion personal calendar and TwoUp.  The teachers then received my videos online and were able to showcase them online to the students through their LCD projectors, while I and the Bulldog Byte team members (10-12 grade technology students) assisted their advisory and other students.

As far as I know it worked well for the teachers and the students enjoyed it.  Definitely a process I will keep working on.
