Teacher Placement

1) What did you accomplish last week in your placements?
     Last week Aaron, John and I learnt how to use Diigo and Windows Movie Maker because that is what the teacher we were placed with asked of us. We set up appointments last week to consult Mrs. Elso-Ponzo, but due to some circumstances we couldn’t meet up with her until today, November 1st.
Today, we talked with Mrs. Elso-Ponzo and we learnt on how much she is progressing in her class by incorporating Diigo and windows movie maker. We understood that the students already had some experience with using Diigo, but Mrs. Elso-Ponzo suggested that she would like another tutorial for Diigo since they currently need it for the beginning of their research project that has already been started. Mrs. Elso-Ponzo also has no experience with windows movie maker so our group decided that we would either make a tutorial video for her class or we would personally go during second period and give a quick demonstration on how to use windows movie maker. We also came up with a plan that will be taken place within the next weeks, but Mrs. Elso-Ponzo will give us her final thoughts and suggestions this week on Wednesday November 3rd.

2) What do you need to do this week?
This week we already consulted Mrs. Elso-Ponzo and we are meeting up with her on Wednesday to finalize what she needs for her applied history class. This week my group and I also intend to make a tutorial for windows movie maker and possibly Diigo.
