With the first full week of classes under our belt things around the Day School seem to be getting off to a great start. My classes are wonderful, my students are awesome, and the integration of new technology in the classroom is going well. Tonight is Open House and I am looking forward to meeting some new parents and seeing some familiar faces.

First day of school with the kids at The Day School! I am looking forward to meeting my new 9th graders and seeing my returing students. Cannot believe that the c/o 2013 are Seniors!!!

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer." ~Psalm 19:14

Day 2 of Faculty Pre-planning is going strong. Lots of things going on around campus (new construction, 1to1 training, technology upgrades to campus, etc). There are 12 new teachers at The Day School this year, many new names to learn! I'm looking forward to seeing my students and getting this school year started off right.

I am getting more and more excited about the future at FPD with the new 1:1 initiative. It is time to start educating 21st Century students with 21st Century methods! With the new Lenovo ThinkPad's and a fully wireless campus the possibilities are endless inside the classroom. Way to be on the cutting edge FPD!

Up bright and early this morning for Gerry Kosater's Social Studies Tech Class. Looking forward to learning new and exciting ways to implement technology into my classroom!

Today in Tech Class we were exposed to a number of Web 2.0 Sites and Tools. One of the sites that I found to be a great option for my World History classes was TimeToast ( www.timetoast.com ). This is a free tool that allows teachers and students to create time lines dealing with topics on history, music, film, books, their own life, famous people, etc. It is an innovative and fun way to bring events and dates into the learning process. This tool could definitely be used effectively in the elementary, middle school, and high school classroom. The following is a link to a sample time line that I created about my life: http://www.timetoast.com/timelines/the-life-times-of-the-shane-hall

Day #2 of Mr. Kosater's "Implementing Technology in the Classroom" and I am blown away with the shear number of FREE options available to teachers online! Super excited to teach at a school not afraid to take steps to educate and equip students to learn in the digital age.

Welcome to my eClassroom! On this blog you will find class notes, power-points, various announcements, and other class related material. Enjoy!
