Well, here is some more of what I have to say.
We have been doing this project for quite some time now. It's time to count at least some chicks, wouldn't you agree?

Some of the results may include achievements in the classroom, or in your relationship with kids, or your progress in developing a better curriculum, better lesson planning or more confidence in your ability to guide students.

Your students have also experienced new technology and hopefully new ways to learn and explore.

We should also communicate that to the people around us, your colleagues in the school, parents of your students, the administration etc.

In our session on Classroom Communication, we’ll devote our time to various ways you can prepare for this type of publicity, and help your students share that as well.

Here is my list:
Newsletters (MS Word, other word-processors, MS Publisher)
Podcasting
Blogging (like this one)

Please post your comments, suggestions and the like!

I also like the idea of publicizing our successes. How about asking the local paper to come in, or the distict newsletter?
Maybe an iMovie that can be shown at open house next year, or your next parent night this year. There are lots of good ways to share the stories, but let's not make our fellow staff members too jealous!!

Well, thank you, Martha Thibodeau, for your invaluable input. Those are some fantastic ideas, using our upcoming sessions with a vision for next year.
