I am enjoying all the technology I have learned, especially the Flip Video. The e-books are also great. My students have had fun making them. I introduced PALS with my first graders this week. It was a huge success! I think this will be a fun way for the students to improve their reading skills.
NC Quest has provided me with a link to the 21st century in my classroom! I am now able to access technology in my class in ways I never knew before! I am loving using the flip camera! Also love United Streaming!

The flip video has been a useful tool to record students modeling PALS and to capture the fun moments and celebrations. I have enjoyed posting pictures on my website. Now all I have to do is encourage students and parents to visit and blog.
Hello,
We have been using the flip video camera for recording the students in a mock debate posted the video on google for the students to view.
I have been using the websites and other resources provided by NC Quest in my science classes. I plan to use the flip video camera to record our upcoming science fair.
I have been using the flip video to record my fourth graders. We will be videoing our fourth grade presidential elections on Election Day and posting the results to our websites as a podcast.
My son and daughter will be in football/cheerleading playoffs this Saturday. So...I'll have to leave at 11:30AM.
