Session 9

I'm still plugging along on the project. I found out this week that our district is looking for a guinea pig to try using a NETS assessment that Atomic Learning created along with lessons to cover the NETS. It has an assessment and reports the results. It then links to "Lesson Accelerators" that teach the lessons through lessons that already created using different software. It is exactly what my project was--uuuggghhh. I told the Tech Coordinator for the district what my project was for this class and she was very interested in it. I am continuing to work on the tutorials but I can use Atomic Learning for the examples. I am excited about it because the district already purchased it and it is a great resource.

I do like Simple Assessment. The format was great and the questions were challenging. I didn't feel that they dumbed it down at all for Middle Schoolers. The program is free for schools but the sales guy does call at least every 2 weeks trying to sell more of what they have. I will now be able to tell him that the district already has something in place.

I'm off to ready your projects and give feedback. Thanks for everyone that wished me luck and congratulated me on the Marathon. It was quite an experience. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Would I do it again? hmm I am already getting the bug to get back out there and run. Have a good week.
