You have been learning about various tools to incorporate into your classroom to improve your teaching and the student's learning. Some of these tools have been used in an introductory phase, while others of you have gotten to a deeper level, after much use. For the month of April, participants should choose at least one additional "tool" to experiment (in depth) with in their classroom OR to increase the connected learning to directly enhance learning. At the end of the month, work on preparing a brief presentation of the tool, suggestions for implementation, struggles, celebrations, etc to share with the other participants. Presentations will take place on Wednesday May 15, 2013. Consider using the following questions to prepare your presentation:

1. What tool/strategy did you use?
2. How/what did you use it for?
3. How is it working out?
4. How have the students/parents responded to the tool/strategy?
5. What suggestions do you have for others who may use this tool/strategy?
6. What struggles and celebrations do you have in relationship to this tool/strategy?
7. Is there another tool you want to try out next? How will you use it?

***We are learning and working together! Please use this page to discuss/share/question how the trial process is going for you throughout the month. Use your coworkers as a platform for advancement!
