REFLECTION ZONE: Live @Edu

 I introduced my 6th grade advisory team to a collaborative online document at Live@Edu(Office365).  I was going to create this on Google Docs, but our tech. dept. responded that it would be easier to use WindowsLive as all staff members already had an account created for them.  The tech. dept. offered to provide a how-to session for our team, but I played around with this as it is a little different than google docs, and I was able to share it with my team. I created an online spreadsheet where each advisor recorded notes from Parent Teacher Conferences.  My team did not have experience with this piece of technology, and they were happy with its ease, that they could access it from any computer, and the fact that it automatically saved. :)  We display this document on the promethean board. We are planning to use it at our Students of Concern meetings to keep records on kids that anyone can access.  We are also using it in preparation for the next time we have conferences.  It was fun to introduce something new to my team that they found helpful.
