Parents as Partners Episode 35 September 20, 2010 Aviva Dunsiger

This season's opener got off to a wonderful start with a fantastic presentation by Aviva Dunsiger a Grade 1 teacher at Anacaster Meadow school in Ancaster/Hamilton Region Ontario Canada. Aviva has a wealth of ideas for connecting with parents and making them an integral part of their child's learning. Please listen to Aviva's presentation and follow along with the Slideshare posted below. 

We have compiled this http://gl.am/zx2r6 link to provide you with all the links ( and more) that Aviva mentions during the show. How about replacing the agenda book with Twitter? No more lost in the back pack excuses and no more "did nothing today" answers.  Kid blogs, Today's Meet, audio recordings on Evernote, Twitter, Wallwisher are just a few of the many free applications which she has integrated into classroom instruction. 

Aviva and her colleagues at Ancaster Meadow school are leading the way.

21:26:47 Scott Shelhart (@kd9sr) -> EdTechTalk: I like evernote, but using Springpad on my phone.   It's worth a look.
21:26:52 PeggyG -> EdTechTalk: I use evernote to capture chat from webinars like this so I have all of the notes and links to review later
21:27:16 PeggyG -> EdTechTalk: I use evernote on my iphone and sync it with my computer so I can access it anywhere
21:27:22 rmcdonald17 -> EdTechTalk: Going to pick your brain on this one Aviva !

21:33:08 marragem -> EdTechTalk: have kids help their parents create an avatar at the beginning of the year
21:33:29 PeggyG -> EdTechTalk: usually once parents understand what you are doing and why they are very supportive-kids can be very persuasive :-)
21:33:51 PeggyG -> EdTechTalk: what a great idea marragem!! parents would have so much fun creating an avatar!
21:34:40 marragem -> EdTechTalk: @Peggy - it's fun looking at what they create - many of them getting back in touch with their innerchild
21:34:49 Scott Shelhart (@kd9sr) -> EdTechTalk: I stepped away... What slide are we on?
