Please write a brief summary of project here:

Date: June 29 Hours: 2 Comments/Needs: Here are some of the goals I would like to accomplish. Lean to backup to the server so I can do it on a regular basis. In the past either Dorothy or Skip have helped me. I have a a lot of material related related to Promethean that I don't want to lose. I also had planned to purchase an external hard drive but Fin has bought one that I guess I can use. Here are some other projects: 1. I want to continue working on going through my documents file (and desktop!) to try and eliminate duplication and to more effectively organize. 2. I need a refresher in how to embed videos into my Promethean presentations. I did a few last spring but I have forgotten. 3. I would like to know hoe to organize my bookmarks. Can they be embedded in the Promethean presentation to maybe I will just reference it in the presentation. But can I organize them in some way that allows me to retrieve them more quickly. 4. I hate to admit this but I need help with my address book. I never use it and I'm always searching for email addresses, phone numbers etc. Can you help me there? I need to get organized and started and I'll do fine. 5. I need to work some on my Promethean presentations for U.S. History college level. I think I need to focus on that this year since it's a new course. I had hoped to implement Moodle but I think I need to focus on preparation for the new course. As part of this I need to help develop the curriculum for the the sophomore history class.

Today 7 to 9 I worked on setting up my AP folder for next year and began moving material forward from last year. Once you have been reimaged you will not need to worry about backing up to the server. The process will be different with the new software we are using.

Date: July 6 Hours: 4 (2 at home) Comments/Needs: I have continued to work at organizing my documents. I am working specifically on my AP U.S. History documents. I am creating a "generic" folder that will include all the work product that has been developed since 2004-2005. I will then be able to use the generic folder to pull the material I need for each year. It's a slow process but should put the material in a format that I can quickly access and review. When you get a chance I would appreciate a review of how to embed videos onto a Promethean presentation. I have completed reading my section of the new U.S. History text and will begin creating my Promethean presentations and working on the new curriculumn.

You are making great progress, just let me know what you need.

Date: July 13 Hours: 2 Comments/Needs: Continued working on organizing and consolidating my AP US History documents

Date: July 20 Hours: 1 Comments/Needs: Continued working on document organization.

Date: July 27 Hours:2 Comments/Needs: Worked on completing and faxing online forms and document organization. Also Dorothy helped me prepare for a "webinar" courses that I took for continuing legal education purposes. The webinars went very well. I participated from home and was able to communicate effectively with participants from all over the country using a dialogue box and microphones.

Date: August 3 Hours: 1 Comments/Needs: I did not attend class but did continue to work on file organization and preparation for the new U.S. History part 1 (sophomore year) class. I put together an introductory Promethean presentation and also the presentation for most of chapter 1. I also began organizing my documents folder for the new U.S. History class.

Date: August 10 Hours: Comments/Needs: I brought my computer in to Skip for re-imagining on Monday. I need to make sure everything is there and I know how to find it. He mentioned that he crated alias folder for two classes that had alot in them. I need to check with Dorothy about that. I want to continue file organization and also work on Promethean presentations for the new class. Dorothy helped me move document files around and save those that are not served to the server. I have cds with all the geogrpahy and AP material from prior years. I continue to work on the Promethean presentations.
