Introductions!

[Dan Sitter]

Hi, I created this group for teachers to share and get answers to Chromebook related pedagogy and edtech integration into our classrooms.  My name is Dan Sitter, I'm a social studies teacher in Fond du Lac, WI.  I spent the last year working as a technology integration specialist helping get our district ready for a 1to1 at the high school with Chromebooks.  

I teach AP Psychology and US History at the high school level.  Looking forward to sharing the adventure with fellow teachers using Chromebooks from around the country!

[Kim]

Hi Dan, my name is Kim Ryan and I am an ITS in Columbia, SC.  Our district is in the process of rolling out 1to1 elementary through high school.  I will be working with 5th grade teachers this year and I am very excited about this group. Thanks and I look forward to sharing!

[RBelprez]

Hey folks!  I'm Robert and I teach 10th and 12th grade English in Michigan.  I'm excited to be part of a small group of teachers who will be experimenting with ways to utilize Chromebooks in the High School English classroom.  I love technology, computers, laptops, and gadgets, and their ability to make our lives more efficient and the learning process more enjoyable, effective, and meaningful in the 21st century. 

Instead of buying new textbooks for 2012-13, English teachers in my high school decided to ask the finance, curriculum, and administrative leaders in our district for two class sets of Chromebooks (equivalent in cost to new textbooks for all sophomore students).  These will be stored in docking/charging carts and act as a computer lab on wheels which will be shared among the 5 teachers responsible for the 10th grade English classes.  We believe we can bolster our curriculum and improve student success with even this limited access to Chromebooks than we would with new textbooks.  I'm sure many would agree textbooks in the traditional sense are an endangered species.  Ours is not a school-wide 1-to-1 movement, but rather the dangling toe in the pool testing the waters.  I like to think we are the greeters ushering in the first wave of the inevitable technological flood that is looming on the horizon for all schools.

[EWaters]

Watch out, Robert!  Once you dangle the toes in, you can never go back!!  Browse the Web Store for unusual ways to use apps in the classroom.  My kids played The Secret of Grisly Manor (a find and seek game that was challenging!) and wrote some awesome mysteries!  Good luck!

Hello, everyone:

My name is George Sorrells, I'm the Technology Facilitator for Winneconne Schools, in Winneconne, WI.  I don't teach, but I do look at my job as making it easier for the teachers in my district to use technology.  I signed our district up for GAFE last year, and we are moving there completely as quickly as I can drag everyone else along kicking and screaming!

My district has around 1,100 kids K-12.  I recently got another shipment of chromebooks into the district; so we will be starting the school year with about 350 chromebooks.  I look forward to learning a lot from all of you in the group.

George

[EWaters]

Hey George!

I was wondering how those 350 CBs will be distributed and used?  Sounds like a treasure trove!  Good luck.

[Laura Coulter]

Hello,

I'm Laura Coulter and I'm the Instructional Technology Specialist for the new high school in Richland 2, SC. I am new to being an ITS and we are opening 1:1 with Chromebooks (every student gets to one assigned to them for the year) this year so the learning curve is extremely high. I am lucky in that I was one of the teachers who had a class set of Chromebooks last spring when I taught freshman and junior English, so I have some experience and ideas. 

My current plan is to make our teachers comfortable with their Chromebooks this summer so that they can jump right in with them when the students have them. I recently attended the Midlands Summit and was amazed with all of the available apps and resources. I recommend that summit to all teachers next year. Based on what I learned there and additional research,I am putting together a list of possible resources for the classroom and plan on sending that list out to the faculty so that those who are chomping at the bit to explore their Chromebooks can help me assess apps and become school resources. I'm really hoping that works. 

Our district really likes Edmodo and we have Google Apps for Education. I like that each student has a school Gmail account because the Google Apps for Education allows students to create accounts for the apps by using their Google account. That makes it really easy and there are less passwords to remember. I also advise students to always keep school and personal accounts separate.

I hope to grow with this group.

Bonjour tous!

I'm Lisa Nordmeyer.  I teach French (Levels 1, 3 & 4) at West Leyden H.S. in Northlake, IL.  Our district (two high schools) is going 1:1 beginning in August and all our students will be receiving Chromebooks.  I'm starting slow by going to an online text / workbook only in my French 4 courses, which have been using the online workbooks for the text for a few years now.  We will also have a BIG learning curve this year, but I'm sure it will prove to be "trèsw intéressant"!

[EWaters]

" My current plan is to make our teachers comfortable with their Chromebooks this summer so that they can jump right in with them when the students have them."

I would suggest to you also to train a group of kids to act as Chrome assistants, at least one per class.  There were many times when I would be teaching or assisting my kids with their issues and students from other classes (or teachers) would come to me for help.  It was a blessing to have some "experts" who very professionally took over the issue and resolved it quickly and quietly.  That spread ME a lot further and all the kids began to pick up trouble shooting skills.  It worked great!  (The Chromebooks are totally separate from the other computers in our school, meaning that our tech teacher knew nothing about them.  I was always the answer person, so it helps to train several answer people.)

Can you share your list of apps and tips from the Midlands Summit?

Thanks.

Welcome and good luck!

[Chris Williams]

Laura, We are going 1:1 at my high school this fall. Would you please
share the list of any apps that you have found to work on a chromebook
with me so that I can share with the teachers? I have been exploring,
as have others, to find appropriate and dependable apps for high
school. Thanks so much. Chris

Hi Lisa, I work at a primarily French immersion school in Ottawa Canada. We've been fortunate enough to have played with our set of Chromebooks for the past half year at the middle school level. Let me know and I'll pass your name along to our French language teachers to see if they can help out with using Chromebooks in a second language!

Good Luck, Lisa, and all your students and coworkers!  We love ours!

[Adam Kampia]

Hi, my name is Adam Kampia. I teach language arts, grades 6-8, at a small private school in Maryland. I'll be piloting a 1:1 Chromebook program in my classes this Fall (2012). We have one year of Google Apps for Education under our belts, so I am very excited about what I can do with the chromebooks this year. I've only had mine for two days, but I have been furiously testing it (and trying to run out the battery).

Adam

[Rachel Pierson]

Greetings!

My name is Rachel Pierson, and I am a 6th grade teacher/Technology Coordinator at Trinity Lutheran School in Waukesha, WI.  We have 175 students in K-8. I will be piloting a Chromebook program in my 6th grade class for the 2012-2013 school year, in hopes of expanding all the way to 8th grade in the next three years. This summer, we dismantled our computer lab, and are going completely to laptops.  There will be 40 Windows 7 laptops on carts that will move between our classrooms, and the 6th grade will have a dedicated set of Chromebooks.

I spent a week in Milwaukee in July at the Google Education Summit, where we learned about a ton of things Google and Cloud-computing related.

I am also in the final stretches of my masters program for Educational Design and Technology through Concordia University - Wisconsin. My graduate thesis/seminar project is going to be based on the 1:1 experience I will have this upcoming school year.

I look forward to sharing with you and learning from and with you!

[Rachel Pierson]

I guess I should also mention you can find me on Twitter, and I have a blog called Learn for a Lifetime which I post to periodically.

[Dan Sitter]

Welcome Rachel!

[gdelaney]

Hi all,

I teach 8th grade World History at a large, PK-12 independent school in Raleigh, NC.  Last year, our 7th and 10th grade students piloted Chromebooks, and we found out late in the spring that we would be adopting them 7-12 for the 2012-2013 year.  My primary use at the outset will be for using Docs, use of our new e-texts, current events searches, research on library databases, and message board discussions through Veracross (our teacher/student/parent portal is hosting message boards for the first time).  I'm terrified, but my kids will have a year under their belts and will no doubt show me the ropes.  Thanks, Dan, for setting this up.

Hey everybody,

I am Willy and I am teaching in a blended learning classroom with 60 6-8th graders in Maricopa, AZ. This is the first year of the program and so far is going great! I am very glad I came across this group as we will be getting chromebooks for each student very soon. We are using huge 15 in monster laptops now am excited to see how well the chromebooks fit into our program. We have been using google apps for education as well and the students love it!

[David Laroche]

Dave Laroche from La Salle Academy, Providence, RI

I will be using Chromebooks with a small group of students in an Intro to Computers course which focuses on making sure our students have the basics in word processing, spreedsheets and presentation software.  Using Chromebooks is a part of that; I will also be giving them time on the Microsoft products.

There are also going to be Chromebooks in our library and a set in our science department.

Looking for any ideas or any good tutorials for students on using the Google Docs.

[Tricia Hall]

Hola! I'm Tricia Hall, and I teach 8th grade language arts and reading (regular ed and the accelerated/enriched classes) in Illinois.  I'm fortunate enough to pilot Chromebooks this year, and I'm looking forward to learning a lot from everyone!  We have three sets of Chromebooks 6-8, but I'm the only teacher piloting them in my building.  I've already started to use them in my classroom, but it's definitely a learning process.  I'm still learning how to use GoogleDocs, and I'll gladly accept any advice.

Looking forward to reading a lot on this forum and to hopefully add insight.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm Mark Hall, a infrastructure engineer for a Academy school in Essex, UK. We're seriously looking Google Apps for edcuation and Chromebooks as a IT solution in school, so I've joined this group to get opinon and practical information from you guys who go out and teach with this technology.

 

Thanks,

[EWaters]

Hi Mark,

We are on year 2 of using Chromebooks in a 1:1 digital classroom for grades 7/8 (ages 12-14).  I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.  Google came to our school last December and made a video about one of my students and how we use chromebooks.  You might like to check it out.  On YouTube, titled A Chrome Superhero.

Welcome!

[Mark Hall]

Thanks Elaine, I'll do a search for that video and check it out.

Hi Dan & everyone else: 

I also teach U.S. History, Psychology & Sociology in Cary, Illinois (about 45 minutes from Chicago).  

This year I am using Chromebooks in my classes and so far it is awesome.  It is a complete change in teaching style and lesson planning, so I am thanful that Dan created this group so we can collaborate on Chromebook integration & tech pedagogy. 

If you are on Twitter, feel free to follow me... @irishteach   I tweet about edtech & social studies.   The hashtags #1to1techat #edtech #sschat  #chromedu have been very helpful to learning and discussing technology integration into my class!

Looking forward to learning with everyone!

Hello!

My name is Jamie Spagnolo, and I teach US Literature, Written Communication, and AP Language and Composition at Baraboo High School, in Baraboo, WI.  I've spent the last two years developing a classroom webpage via Google Sites, have gone almost completely paperless with all composition assignments turned in via Google Docs and tests and quizzes submitted via Google Forms, am in the process of getting Google Trainer Certified, and was fortunate enough to attend the Google Apps for Education Midwest Summit this fall.

Our school has made a full conversion to Google Apps and the Chromebook Carts keep multiplying, which is exciting.  I'm looking forward to the day when we each have a cart available in our classroom or when each student can be assigned one for the year.  It has been fun to watch the kids embrace them, and I'm excited to learn of all the possibilities.

[Kay McNulty]

Hi Everyone, 

I am a middle school technology coordinator in Perth Amboy, NJ, where we recently rolled out 631 chromebooks to our math classrooms.  Teachers teach 3 blocks per day, so the ratio on the machines is 3:1.  We are using online formative assessments utilizing Smart VE Response systems to monitor student progress both in class and during PLC content area meetings.  The students and teachers have taken to the machines with ease.  We're bringing the same setups to some LA classrooms and I'm sure they will be met with similar success.  I'm going to urge the teachers to join this group as a resource and place to share their classroom integration stories.  Looking forward to hearing about your chromebook experiences.

Hello,

I'm Bill Martin, I teach fifth grade, and I have 9 chromebooks on the way from a Donorschoose.org project, and my district is using chrombooks a bit in our secondary schools.  I teach elementary, and with existing computers in the classroom and the new chromebooks I should be able to create a 2:1 in my class.  What a great group!  I joined 5 minutes ago and already have some new ideas and inspiration!  I'm interested in apps for podcasting, video, and also using chrome on my other computers to sync apps, etc.  

Thanks,

Hi everyone I teach 8th grade history in Middletown, NJ. Our district is purchasing over 2k chromebooks for the secondary schools (5), our middle school will most likely get 4 carts.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jennie Magiera. I am the Digital Learning Coordinator at the Academy for Urban School Leadership (a network of 25 neighborhood Chicago Public Schools). For our 14,000 students, we currently have 500 Chromebooks and are looking to expand. (This is in addition to 40 iPad2 Carts.) Chicago Public went to GAFE this summer so right now we're spending a lot of time getting teachers and students comfortable and adept at using Chrome, Drive, and Forms for assessment.

Here are a few resources we've found helpful thus far:

Chad Kafka's Google For Schools YouTube Playlist (geared for middle school students) 

Molly Schroeder's Chromebook Classroom Blog

Jason Markey's Blog (His Leyden HS District went 1:1 with Chromebooks this past year and are doing awesome!)

Thanks everyone - I look forward to learning with you!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Kevin O'Donnell and I do a little bit of everything with technology at Belmar Elementary School in Belmar, NJ.  My coworker and I split tech classes and the tech management duties.

My coworker and I went to the Google NY NJ Apps Summit last spring (and we're going again this year - sites.google.com/site/nynjgs13/) and have been moving quickly towards Chromebooks ever since.  We started a pilot last year with 75 Samsung Sereies 5 (1:1 50 students, 1 mobile cart to share). Since we were early adopters we go a half price offer in the fall and got 50 more (same type). We just ordered 115 of the new Samsung Chromebook ($249 + $30).  Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, they are about 8 weeks backordered!

This is a great resource for the Chromebooks and teaching with them.  I also like the groups Google Apps K12 User Group and Google Apps Technical Forum.

We look forward to learning more and to sharing what we find

I've been a lurker in this group for some time.  My name is Pam Mass, and I teach French in Council Bluffs, IA.  I was fortunate to be one of the lucky ones who got to beta test the cr-48 Chromebooks before they were made public.  Council Bluffs was one of five districts in the nation who were honored with this opportunity.  This is our 2nd year of being 1:1 at the high school.  I also moderate a Chromebook group on Edmodo if anyone is interested.  It is great to see so many more schools using Chromebooks!

I guess I'm a bit late in joining the group, but I'm glad to have found it.  I teach seniors at a high school in South Texas.  I teach English and am 1:1 in my classroom with Chromebooks--the only one at my campus, having bought most of them on my own.  I actually learned about using Chromebooks for 1:1 from a webinar with Fon du Lac, which really got me interested in doing this.  Looking forward to learning and sharing!

We had a great experience using these devices and will continue exploring ways that they can enhance student achievement next year. I'm looking forward to sharing and learning in this group. Thanks Dan for putting it together.

Hi, I created this group for teachers to share and get answers to Chromebook related pedagogy and edtech integration into our classrooms.  My name is Dan Sitter, I'm a social studies teacher in Fond du Lac, WI.  I spent the last year working as a technology integration specialist helping get our district ready for a 1to1 at the high school with Chromebooks.  

I teach AP Psychology and US History at the high school level.  Looking forward to sharing the adventure with fellow teachers using Chromebooks from around the country!
