__**Cynthia Macoit-Zielinski**__ I loved every aspect of MACUL as always, however, my favorite was the Classroom Response presentations (Turning Point and CPS). The presentation on Friday, //Using the Turning Point Classroom Response System// was excellent and the presenter was pretty cute too!! Also, discoverying that the CPS system works with PowerPoint is important for future projects since we do own a CPS system at DHS but have yet used it. ;>) I really enjoyed the key note speaker Thursday morning as well!

ADVANCED GOOGLE SEARCHING: I attended a session on using advanced techniques for Google searching. While these may be appropriate to teach older students, you can also use them when you are searching for sites that you want to narrow down for student research or student use (on a "hotlist" for research, for example). Much more efficent than sending students out to look at a million different sites!



MOVIE MAKING: THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

This session was a good informational session about the "dos and don'ts" of using video in the classroom. The presenter had a lot of good links to display on his Delicious site. Here is the link:

Scroll down to "The Seven Deadly Sins" to find out what the most common mistakes are with filming! (Good for your home movies, too!)

MOVIE MAKING: THE SCIENCE MYTH BUSTERS!

Here is the link to the session I presented at MACUL on how I used the cameras I obtained with my MACUL grant last year. Included in the Power Point are links for classroom ideas for using video, as well as how tos and tips for getting started. You will have to download the Power Point show to your computer before opening it.
