Changed my focus, again!

I can't believe it, but I have another idea that I need to focus my efforts!
I sent out a survey to some 0f my NESS Liaisons . I sent the NESS Rubric which has been used, I have gone over the completion of the Rubric with them, and I sent simplified directions for completion of the Rubric. Yet,I was surprised by the lack of understanding on how to complete the Rubric. Not that I should be surprised, since it took me two years to truley "get it"!
Now I am wondering, could I use a podcast to explain the directions? Are podcasts we make dual platform? That is todays' question, who knows what tomorrow brings!

New Week!

Hopefully all had a great weekend! I am wishing or hoping that a video camera will come available so I can start taking some videos of my teachers. I also would like to film some teaching strategies for my teachers, I have some grand ideas, we will see..................

Help with adding new members?

How do you add names of the new members to your list? And how do you edit one of the listings?
Thanks

iMovies

I attended the iMovies workshop today. It was very exciting and I have a lot of ideas, but will have difficulties since I use a PC for most of my work. I am usually in schools and don't have access to a MAC. I do have a mac lap top, but I can't get it connected to the internet, I was just happy I could get CAB! Now I will be more persistent to get internet access, too!
I guess my next workshop will be garage bands, and hopefully use of a video camera.
I would LOVE to share best teaching practices with my new educators!

Question & Data

After thinking about everything and talking to others, I need to narrow down my question. My question is will videos/podcasts be useful to my clients? (new educators, Liaisons, teachers)
I will begin to survey my teachers when I visit them and keep a running record. I don't want to send them a survey in the pony or e-mail, because everyone is feeling the crunch of too much, too many e-mails, too many requests, just too many. I want this to be as customer friendly as possible.

New Day!

Thanks Tanya for calming me down and assisting me with my fellow ARers!
I think I am going to focus on how would a podcast assist my new educators , NESS Liaisons, and Instuctional Coaches.
