Welcome to the NMS Playground for Course 5306 Fundamentals of Educational Technology.
This page is used by a cadre of teachers from Northbrook Middle School to address technology issues faced on our campus.

We are educators at a middle school in Houston, TX.

Members: (accepted or invited) L Ringler - technology D Mancuso - special education P Van Sustern - 7th grade language arts S Walton - art M DeFilippo - reading specialist G Dunn - journalism/ESL

===Our goal is to improve the technology integration at our school. We will be using this space to comment on the technology we use (or attempt to use) in our classes. Feel free to post a comment, ask a question or provide a link you think will be helpful.===

I looked over our school STaR Chart data from the last 3 years. We have fallen off dramatically in 3 of the 4 areas. We have dropped in the Teaching and Learning, Leadership Administration and Instructional Support, and Infrastructure. We have not moved at all in the last 3 years in the area of Educator Preparation and Development. What are your thoughts on how we can get our campus moving forward instead of backward?

NMS received $25,000 in new technology through a district grant as well as new Macbooks, iTouches and iMacs in the library and a new iMac lab for the technology classes. Each core area teacher has received an Active Board. How are you using all this new technology? How can we get our entire faculty involved in using technology to motivate our students?
