Please share a description of overall project or work to be completed. I am interested in learning how to use wiki pages, which is new to me. My main project is to focus on how to use Google Docs as a resource/format to keep/file my MSES RTI Data Page as working documents. These documents are presently created in a spreadsheet format. I share the responsibility of up dating these documents monthly throughout the trimesters with another specialist in the building. As it stands now, the other specialist's office is located in a different area in the building and in the past we have continually emailed or physically, with a memory stick, transferred the document changes we make. I am thinking that having one working place to park the documents, will allow us to go in and make on going changes as we progress through the year and support each other with the task. I would also like to become familiar with using the way we will be reporting our class participation and find out if I might be able to incorporate the use of a similar format into my coaching of teachers or a PD class I might be teaching this school year. My exposure to the different ways of incorporating the use of technology in my daily coaching & PD responsibilities has been limited and I am looking to broaden my awareness & updating my knowledge in this ways that I might increase the effectiveness of what I am doing.

Please use this Wiki Journal to share a brief summary of work, questions, comments etc. If you are working outside of class for 'non-seattime' please add dates and time to record your work.

August 24 Time- 7:30-12:30 & 8:00-9:00pm Comments- I found today very interesting and frustrating at the same time. It is great to have an opportunity to spend time exploring and the different components of Google Doc. I was able to make folders, upload data into them and learned how to edit privileges. I am finding it confusing to figure out what "areas"/buttons" to locate the different info I placed on the site. A glitch I need to figure out is how the program switches my Excel sheet to Pages and in the process some of the formatting changes. I tried to correct some of these glitches tonight but was not able to add the missing lines. I will continue with that at class in the morning. I also need to figure out what extra forms can be erased. Every time I upload a data sheet I seem to end up with a copy also on the site. Another task I would like to work on after this is to lean to add a QR code scanner app. to my Ipad and then learn to use it with one of the textbooks I will be using with the District gr.3-6 PD class this year. As well as learn how to use the Ipad with Apple Tv. We will work with the ipads and Apple TV tomorrow. Can you bring the textbook tomorrow. I know how to do the QR scanner code but I need to see the textbook to see what you want to do. **//In the section below I am logging the additional time spent outside of class on my projects.//** //August 25// Time: 7:30-12:30 & 8-9pm Comments Thank you. I will bring the materials with me in the morning. Tonight I continued working on revising the Data Wall while in the excel 365 site. I have emailed my team mate to see if she can put 365 on her machine so we can try working in this format.

August 26 Time 7:30-12:30 & 8-10:00pm Comments Worked on data wall. Learned more about how to use new Ipad- explored manipulating photos taken and downloaded to computer to use in District-wide PD Presentation. Learned how to crop, save and upload them into the document.

August 27 Time 3-5am & 9-12:00pm & 8-11 pm Comments: Today I worked on a variety of tasks. I continued to work on the MSES Data wall by trying to create new pages for this school year. I am afraid that I often took 2 steps forward and 4 steps back. I would end up with too many pages open and confusing which one was the copy and what was the paste, I also found myself working on the wrong Excel page (not the 356 one). Importing will be my friend. :) Learning and practicing how to use the buttons for copying the entire page and then clearing just the data will save a great deal of time. Learning how to Save the formatting from page to page is the greatest saving. Thank you so much!! On Friday I am hoping to be able to learn to use the promethean board/apple tv with my air padl. Also I need to learn or get directions on how to use the QR reader.  I just noticed that the time shown on when things are being saved is not correct, Like now it is 9:52 and I am going to save again to see the difference. The saved time said 6:51. How do I fix this?
