Initial+letter+to+participants

Good Morning to each of you,

I wanted to let everyone know that we will officially begin February 1, 2012. Prior to February 1, you will need to have visited wikispaces.com to create your free account (make sure to verify email address to receive notifications from the wiki) if you do not already possess one. After creating your free account, please add the wiki http://technology-in-edu.wikispaces.com/ ; We will be communicating as well as working together through the wiki site. The order each month will be as follows:


 * 1) **Join www.wikispaces.com for free and become a member of the wiki http://technology-in-edu.wikispaces.com/ .**
 * 2) **Watch the video provided by link via the wiki site and answer a few short questions.**
 * 3) **Participate in the discussion board post.**
 * 4) **Application= Instructional Tech. Consultant will observe at the end of each month.**
 * 5) **Write a short reflection on your experience.**

I will be collecting the reflections when I visit your classroom at the end of each month to observe. Please feel free to request specific areas of technology in which you wish to glean more insight. The desire of this entire experience is to be a resource for you and many others who will participate in the future. I will be in touch via email as we begin on Feb. 1. If you have any questions or would like to add insight, you may do so via the wiki mail client or by responding via email. (side note: you may send private email messages via the wiki site). I am very excited about the opportunity to work with each of you and look forward to visiting your classrooms. Thank you for your participation and interest, as I am sure your students benefit daily from all of your hard work!

Phil
