Stephanie Hicklin:the slp that I work with recommended labels with the english word, spanish word, and a picture Christine:or say something like the blue word says..... Mandy:Soo I'm not sure if any of you have experience with bookbuilder but does it allow is to place the coaches in certain areas of the page? Stephanie Hicklin:she also said a picture schedule on the wall is a great idea for both types of children Stephanie Hicklin:We could add in the report that we consulted with a content expert, and list those as her ideas that we incorporated Christine:cool Mandy:yea...we use a picture schedule everyday...it helps students feel comfortable bc they know what to expect...no surprises Stephanie Hicklin:i'm not sure how, but it seems like they are in different places in the examples that I have looked at Christine:i haven't played with it enough yet...i can if you wish Mandy:also does the spanish coach translate for us if we put in english text....or do we have to use the actual spanish text? Stephanie Hicklin:oh...she also suggested adding a word/picture wall with common classroom requests that he can go and point to if he needs something Stephanie Hicklin:not sure about that Christine:might be too much to add Stephanie Hicklin:ok, we don't have to add it to the text, just add the graphics and let the coach point it out Melanie:that sounds good Mandy:i think if we can find a picture schedule that would be great to incorporate but since the book is due next tues i think we should leave the text and just use the coach to tell about it Stephanie Hicklin:ok, sounds good Stephanie Hicklin:i can't believe Nov is next week! Christine:you can tell by all the christmas stuff on sale already Mandy:Me either, ive been looking ahead at what is due and made a list of what we need to get done and be working on Stephanie Hicklin:oh, you are sooo good with organization Mandy:i thought we could all maybe take a duty to split up the work Christine:good idea Stephanie Hicklin:sure, do you have suggestions? Mandy:i have to be or i would go crazy!!! Mandy:There's a Screencast video that demonstrates how the book/product is used Stephanie Hicklin:i have Camtasia Studios software, screencasting software Stephanie Hicklin:I use it regularly at work creating tutorials Mandy:...that's more for the other groups when they evaluate us Mandy:cool i bet that comes in handy Melanie:I found an image of a picture schedule Mandy:2. a PowerPoint instruction module on how teachers can use the book for instruction in their class Mandy:3. The evaluation/survey for the other groups to actually evaluate our work Christine:i will take the survey Melanie:I would be happy to do the power point Stephanie Hicklin:ok, do u want to email it to me, and i will put it in? on the wall by the door? or on the wall by circle time area? Stephanie Hicklin:i can do the screencast Melanie:Circle time area Stephanie Hicklin:thanks Mandy:if you redo the images...you can send them to me and ill update the bookbuilder and add text for our coach Stephanie Hicklin:ok thank you Mandy:thanks stephanie that sounds good Mandy:christine, i thought since youre the assessor you might want to make the survey...dr wissick gave tons of links for them on next weeks assignments Christine:lol..check text above....i took the survey...lol Stephanie Hicklin:lol Mandy:oh ok haha Stephanie Hicklin:do u know right off hand when each piece is due?

Melanie::) Stephanie Hicklin:ok, how do we know who does what for the report? Melanie:That's a good question. I was thinking about that this afternoon Mandy:i will start it while you guys work on things this week and then next week we can split up the rest if you guys want Mandy:so is the survey and formative evaluation two different things? Melanie:I think she wants the survey at the end of our presentation Stephanie Hicklin:on the overview for week 12, she has an explanation Christine:I can do the group assignments for next week.. I will send them to you before I leave on monday Christine:if you want to make changes just email me Stephanie Hicklin:thank you Mandy:so our formative evaluation data is from peers correct? like coworkers and students? Christine:should be ...or classmates? Stephanie Hicklin:I haven't read enough about it yet honestly Christine:i can create a survey monkey that can be posted Stephanie Hicklin:ok that works Mandy:this is what BB says Mandy:Formative Evaluation will consist of 1- a review by subject matter experts2- a review by novice users3- a review by other individuals4- Eventually your class Melanie:She had suggested one through Google I believe that goes straight to a spreadsheeet Christine:even better ..I will check that one Stephanie Hicklin:my slp coworker could be our expert Stephanie Hicklin:she would LOVE it Christine:i have a school psych and sped coordinator that I can use too Stephanie Hicklin:ok...even better Mandy:sounds good...i wonder if we are supposed to post their feedback? Melanie:i think we should Stephanie Hicklin:yeah, or is there a place for it in the report? Christine:we could add a page to the wiki and I could post it there Stephanie Hicklin:that's a good idea Christine:at least it holds it in case we do need to add it later Melanie:true Mandy:So i think we have just have to have the survey done and posted by tues...then next week others start to give feedback based on the survey...so I think they actually take the survey Christine:tues the 2nd correct? Mandy:yea Stephanie Hicklin:yes Christine:can do Mandy:then once its done....maybe next monday we can decide who we will give the links to the survey to take it Stephanie Hicklin:Ok...gosh I thought I had this all straight in my head, i need to go review the activities again Christine:i can send it to all our district sped folks and school psych here Christine:that would be at least 20 Mandy:There is an Evaluation page on the wiki that we can post the survey and results Christine:ok Mandy:thats great...the more, the better! Mandy:i have a question about the coaches in bookbuilder.... Christine:ok Mandy:so the third coach that is currently describing areas of the school...are we keeping it that way and just having her also tell about the schedule? Stephanie Hicklin:i think so, if that works Mandy:or could we incorporate that into the 2nd coach who is talking about relationship etc. and have the third do the colors Mandy:the only thing about the colors is that I'm not sure if we can have the coach actually point out the color Stephanie Hicklin:You type in what you want the coach to say, right? Mandy:yep Christine:could the coach type in a certain color and ask if the reader sees that same color in the picture? Christine:saying my words are blue do you see blue Mandy:thats a good idea! and then say.... Mandy:there is a blue rug and a _has on a blue shirt...something like that Stephanie Hicklin:I just copied the suggesgtions from dr. wissick and i am going to post them in the notes section Christine:yep Mandy:ok Stephanie Hicklin:#3 is what we are looking at, right? Stephanie Hicklin:i think that is where I was going with the labeling idea Mandy:i think doing colors with coach 3 would help students with english and spanish and new words bc they would be identifying things that are that particular color Christine:easier to identify Mandy:that works! Stephanie Hicklin:I agree, i think we should focus on the color and the object Mandy:if you put like one or two labels of items on each page I can add the text for the coach Stephanie Hicklin:ok Christine:it becomes more of a matching game Stephanie Hicklin:ok, so just add a little sign beside a couple objects in each room? Mandy:Stephanie....if you label more than one thing one a page, could it be the same color just to keep it consistent from page to page? Christine:can you make the signs different colors too Stephanie Hicklin:that is a great idea Christine:lol Christine:thinking alike Mandy:or do you think only one object in each room??? Christine:one object...maybe different color each page? Mandy:i think one object might be easier for the child to focus Stephanie Hicklin:ok, and if by chance there are more than one of the same color, then we will point them out Christine:same idea as before can you find the blue..... then do you see anything else blue Stephanie Hicklin:ok, i'm getting it, haha, slow tonight Melanie:My thought is that the items that are labled should be the ones that he sees and uses most frequently in order to learn them more quickly Stephanie Hicklin:i agree Melanie Christine:good idea Stephanie Hicklin:making it a functional activity Melanie:Like chair, table, rug, toys, bathroom, lunch room, etc Mandy:and the text should be english correct??? since he is learning English Melanie:right Christine:yes Stephanie Hicklin:yes Mandy:ok Stephanie Hicklin:Lily said we should do both, but not sure if it really matters? Christine:at this age he can't really read either Christine:so english should work Melanie:Well, if it is both them the ones who already know English can learn the Spanish also Stephanie Hicklin:right but she said it is important to expose to the next level (i said the same thing, haha) Christine:true Melanie:It makes it a diverse lesson Stephanie Hicklin:true Mandy:I can say: (blue text) The rug is blue. is blue in Spanish. Do you see anything else that's blue in the room? Stephanie Hicklin:thinking... Mandy:any suggestions? Mandy:i want to make sure i do the text right Melanie:Question... Christine:Azul Christine:spanish for blue Melanie:Are we doing the spanish translation along with the English Mandy:thanks! Mandy:only on the main text.....not with the coaches Mandy:the teacher using the book chooses what coaches he/she wants to use so they dont have to use some if they dont want Melanie:ok Stephanie Hicklin:so in the example you gave Mandy, should we say "azul" is blue in spanish or in spanish a rug is called a ? Christine:thought we were doing colors Mandy:i was thinking just the colors but we can do whichever Stephanie Hicklin:I guess I'm thinking with our kid the name of the object is the most important thing, with color being secondary, sorry...that's where my mind keeps going Stephanie Hicklin:just thinking about our kid. thinking it's more important right now for carlos to know objects than colors? Stephanie Hicklin:I am worrying too much about that? Mandy:i get where you're coming from Christine:wow....now we have a kid...wonder who the father is..lol Mandy:lol Stephanie Hicklin: LOL Mandy:if we do the object....i think we should use colors at all to keep it less confusing Mandy:shouldnt* Christine:if we did colors we could have them be interactive Christine:by finding other colors Christine:that match Melanie:I agree. I think our focus should be orienting him to school and the basic things he needs to know about school Christine:either way is fine Mandy:okay so we can just use labels....and Ill let the coach tell what it is and then also use the spanish word...no color? Stephanie Hicklin:i feel like that is more the direction dr. wissick was going when she said "identify objects" in her third coach idea. I really am ok with colors, just want to make sure we think about good first :) Melanie:If we are dealing with a student with a delay of any kind they need to get used to being at a school and our student is learning a new language as well. Mandy:ok so we will stick to objects (basic objects in the classroom and school) Christine:so let's go objects...maybe at the end have an interactive page with all the objects and no names Christine:ask reader to identify Stephanie Hicklin:that's a good idea christine Melanie:that sounds great Mandy:i like that....melanie that would be a good point in the PP to help teachers with instruction Melanie:Gotcha!:) Mandy:i think we could also inc. our ideas for related instruction that we came up with from the start as well Melanie:Actually I think that can be our summative assessment also to see if our learner has gained information by using our book? Stephanie Hicklin:that's true Mandy:great idea! So I can add a page with all the objects and the title can say Do you know what each of these items are?...then coaches can then point them out for review Melanie:There is a way for student response right? Stephanie Hicklin:not sure about that in Book Builder? Mandy:yea i think, but the teacher would have to type it in for them bc of age group Melanie:true Mandy:what do you guys want the 3rd coach to be named? Melanie:It would great if we could incorporate voice response but I don't think we can do that Christine:girl or boy? Melanie:Boy Christine:marco Melanie:Polo? Melanie:LOL Christine:lol Stephanie Hicklin:LOL Mandy:girl Melanie:Marco is good Mandy:shes a girl coach Melanie:Ah ok Christine:then marco isn't good Stephanie Hicklin:Marcy Mandy:Marcy is good Christine:works for me Melanie:I can't think of any other names than that Mandy:ok so i will update bookbuilder and email everyone when it is complete Melanie:There was Lucida in the the story of the Poinsetta Christine:thanks Stephanie Hicklin:ok, and I should add the graphics and send to you? Mandy:yep :) Mandy:can you email the chat too stephanie? Stephanie Hicklin:Ok, I'll do that as soon as we are finished here Mandy:thanks Stephanie Hicklin:Is that all for tonight? Melanie:I think so Christine:think so too Mandy:yea Stephanie Hicklin:yep, just emailed it to myself :) Christine:anyone going to edtech...or did i ask that before Stephanie Hicklin:Ok, good night everyone Melanie:Good night Stephanie Hicklin:I wish I was going to the beach... Mandy:whenever everyone finishes a part of their project we can just send and email to everyone to update them Melanie:K Stephanie Hicklin:sounds good Christine:ok Mandy:im not.....i wish Christine:**kicking sand......so none of my team Stephanie Hicklin::( sorry, are you going?
