George+Washington+High

School / Group:George Washington High School

Attendees: Emily O'Ryan and Derrick McNeill

We're on our way to TIE and we hope to learn: We wanted to learn all of the various tools and free websites that can be used regularly and easily within our classroom curriculum.

At TIE, we attended sessions on (give a couple of sentences for each session by each member. You do not all need to attend the same session, however if you do attend the same session then work together for a single response) :
 * MEMBER || SESSION || How it influences / changes / supports proposed TIE student project ||
 * O'Ryan / McNeill || Wikispace || Wikspaces is now used regularly within my classroom. Students can post their artwork and communicate regularly with one another. ||
 * O'Ryan / McNeill || Free Web Tools || This session showed me all of the free web tools available and how to use websites such as Twitter within my classroom. There was a lot of material within this session. I think I opened accounts in every single one of those websites. ||
 * O'Ryan || Apple workshop || This website showed me how to use GarageBand within my curriculum. Students will be making podcasts with GarageBand teaching one another about various famous artists. ||
 * O'Ryan / Mcneill || Google || This session showed me the various tools that Google provides and can be incorporated within the classroom. ||
 * McNeill || Video lecture for under $300 || using a doc cam and some software to record lectures ||

Our classroom learning project for students is:

Below are posted the projects we developed and used as a result of attending TIE:

As an the media arts teacher at GW, I wanted to develop a program that was virtually paperless. After attending TIE, I went home very excited about all the tools that I had learned and began to recreate my curriculum. I teach Adobe Photoshop as well as Yearbook. Each one of these programs can be incorporated using what I have learned at TIE. Please take a look at the links below to see how I have developed my curriculum using the knowledge from TIE:

http://georgewashingtonart.wikispaces.com/ This website is used by all of my classes. Posted artwork, homework, tests, daily assignments, monthly assignments, and syllabuses.

http://gwhsyearbook.wikispaces.com/ This website is used by Yearbook. It is our universal communicative website to the general public of George Washington. It is so useful!**
