We started out with the title “Brown Bag Wednesday”. Ugh! We wanted excitement. Carolyn and I were already watching Bravo’s Project Runway and we loved Tim Gunn’s expressions of “Carry on!” and “Make it work!”. So, we decided to call our Wednesday showcase Project: Technology using the same type of logos they use for the show. Our campus flyers have Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn on them and we use the phrases to make it fun.
Our staff may not watch the show so sometimes we start lessons with a brief Google or YouTube clip of the show just to open it up a bit. I have added the promo for season 3 that wrapped up this year for you to see on this post.
Our presentations aren’t training. We just showcase some tools that we have seen in action at conferences, on blogs, read on wikis, or viewed in pod/vodcasts. We use this to just whet the appetite for teachers to see some cool stuff out there, get them talking about it, and if they want to pursue more - get them some individual training and support.
So, make it work people! Let us know new ideas to add or your comments on what we’ve done!
