I hope you can see how we are going to use 21st Century Technologies to learn after visiting all of the various sites today. Now, blog about todays assignment. Tell me what you think of Moodle, our Wiki, NetTrekker, our Blog, etc. Do you think that these technologies will help you learn Spanish? Gracias…

I am looking forward to a great year. This year we will have students joining us via our new IVC lab during my 7th period class. They are from two high schools on the other side of the state. We should have all of the bugs worked out in the lab by the end of the week. As for my local classes, I hope you all like our new textbooks. I am very excited about them. I am also excited about the Renaissance process. We hope to do a lot of excellent things for the student body through the program. I have established a Haleyville Renaissance Blog to help promote the process and to share our program with others via the internet. The URL is http://haleyvillerenaissance.blogspot.com Check it out and tell me what you think!

Also, we will be using Classroom2.0 technologies when we can fit them in to our schedule. Our blog is of course here and our wiki is located at http://www.bishopblogs.wikispaces.com. You can access our HHS Library media wiki by using the links here or at our wiki. My students at HHS will also use moodle at some point in time and if our new IT staff gets moodle loaded on the Internet server my students in the IVC course will most likely use it too. Isn’t technology great!I am looking forward to a great school year and I hope to be able to help you along the way. If you need my help for whatever reason feel free to come by and see me at anytime. As for my IVC students the same thing goes. Well, you can’t drive across the state just to see me, but you can have your facilitator contact me or you can use D2L to contact me. Let me know if I can help…

I am attaching the syllabus for each of my Spanish classes here online and you should be able to download them. They are in Microsoft Word Document format. Once again, welcome back to school and let’s have a wonderful year of learning.Leave me some comments and I will get back to you ASAP. Note: I have to approve all comments before they are posted…

Warm Regards,

Sr. Bishop

Hola Mundo (Hello World)

Welcome to one of Haleyville High School’s first blogs (Bishop Blog). This blog is an attempt at learning more about blogging and improving academics at Haleyville High School through blogging. So you can say that this is a test blog of sorts. Why have a test blog? At HHS we actively utilize and promote technology to inspire and promote learning for the 21st century and beyond. Hence, after testing this blog with my Spanish classes, I hope to get teachers and students involved in the blogging process. Also, I have set up a private ”WIKI” to acompany this blog. The wiki is private because only HHS students and faculty members will have access to it. This is a safety precaution due to the limited control of wiki’s. If you don’t have a clue as to what a blog or a wiki is check out my page on blogs and wiki’s. Isn’t technology cool?

Bienvenidos mis amigos (Welcome my friends)

I hope you have a great blogging experience!

W. Bishop
