Tonawanda

Welcome to the ** TONAWANDA MIDDLE SCHOOL ** project page. **Our goals** The goal of our EETT project is to enhance teacher learning experiences by infusing them with technology and 21st Century skills. Teachers will learn through interactive, project based learning opportunities that promote an understanding of WEB 2.0 skills.

**Staff Needs** The teachers served by our EETT project are at Tonawanda Middle School. There are 45 teachers in the middle school and ongoing staff development is crucial to help staff stay current with best practices and new technology applications such as blogs, wikis, and podcasts.

 **The plan** Our EETT project will be based on the development of a book study blog for staff members to communicate with one other as they read the book "Results Now" by Mike Schmoker. The blog is an excellent introduction of WEB 2.0 for staff members. During middle school team planning time, teachers will post comments to the blog after they have read an assigned chapter. If this project is successful, then we will develop a new blog related to a different professional development resource such as "Active Literacy Across the Curriculum" by Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs.  || **DETAILS** || http://jpnewt.edublogs.org/ || || ||
