Palmer+Seeley

Palmer Seeley Upper School English Department Cary Academy

I teach sophomore World Literature II and senior Classic Literature: Current Context at an independent day school in Cary, NC. The school has been a 1:1 tablet PC school for students and faculty for 3 years (and 1:1 PC before that). The faculty eagerly shares concepts back and forth.

I am comfortable using technology in the classroom and am a firm believer that I develop curriculum for given end goals and the apply the best tool I'm aware of to get the job done. I deliver an receive content to and from my students through my Moodle webpage. I administer quizzes, tests, and the cumulative exam online. I utilize wikis and forums for students to study for assessments and to create original content such as collaborative short stories.

The major pitfall I encounter regarding technology is that it drains time quickly.

My goal for this workshop is to explore technologies new to me such as Wikispaces Wikis (I've used other wiki technology before), PhotoStory which others at my school have used with great success, I-CUE, Google Lit Trips, and Trailfire (all three of which I'd not heard of before signing up for this workshop). I am eager to learn how to use these new tools and to think about what application they have for my classroom.

//A response from Sherry Turner: Nice to meet you Palmer. I feel your time drain pain. My time drain problem often comes from having to stop what I'm doing and explain what is going on over and over again to my students or, and this is just as much a problem, me having to stop and get the students to teach me something......more later//
