Cassy Holzhauer replied to Reuven Werber's discussion What Does Classroom 2.0 Mean to You as an Educator?"I am the IT director for my school, and I think that Classroom 2.0 is great. I am in the business of teaching teachers and bringing them up to speed with new technology and giving them training where needed. I am also leading a group of teachers in…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Stacy Brown's discussion Typing Programs"I would recommend Mavis Beacon as a typing program. There are also free "typing tests" online, (typingtest.com) that are timed and can be printed once they are completed, it measures the gross and net words per minute as well as the…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Klista Lawyer-Reynolds's discussion Cell Phones in the Classroom in the group Connecting Content and Technology"Our school, just this year, has given the "ok" for students to bring their own technology to school. And teachers are being encouraged to utilize that (keeping in mind we do not yet have wifi in place on campus). Some of the classes have…"
Cassy Holzhauer commented on Alan Sitomer's blog post You want the top or the bottom? America's bunk bed educational mentality."I think that my school would fall into the category of looking to the top, as evidenced by the entrance exam required to get in. My experience though is that even if students pass the exam they might have come from a less rigorous public elementary…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Ian Carmichael's discussion Religion and education"To what you are replying? What is the "it" to which you are referring? What is brought on by pure ignorance? At the moment you are the one sounding ignorant. Not sure what your opinion about religion or religious convictions about…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Kiwi Commons's discussion Textual Harassment - Where would you draw the line?"You are absolutely right, that communication plays a huge factor, and how we communicate. It is appalling some of the acceptable terminology teens today are using. In one of my senior communications courses required for graduation we had a week long…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Ian Carmichael's discussion Religion and education"My favorite is Apologetics Knights. They actually find discussions on a variety of other facebook sites and then provide the links on how to get involved on those discussion boards. They also discuss apologetic strategy on their own group's…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to John McCullough's discussion Pre-service Education... Social Networking, not."I used to be a pre-service teacher, until I switched to communications (but still ended up working at a school, haha).

I am the director of IT services, on the mac side, at an all girls Catholic school (my alma mater). My focus in college was on communications and I have my minor in english education.

Cassy Holzhauer replied to Ian Carmichael's discussion Religion and education"Sitting here thinking about it, I am also working on implementing an iPod Touch program at our school. Some of the Apps that the teachers are discovering and using are iBreviary, iRosary, and The Bible. Another place where students can encounter…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Ian Carmichael's discussion Religion and education"I am also part of a Catholic school, as well as the product of Catholic education. My experience is that students are engaged when it becomes practical and directly related to their lives. Using Safari on my Mac I can search RSS feeds. RSS is…"
Cassy Holzhauer replied to Jeff Branzburg's discussion iPod Touch"Kate,
That would be great to look into. I have been encountering similar questions from the teachers at my school (how to show the iPod touch screen for the things that aren't video or music related). Right now our iPod Touch program is in its…"

- About Me
- Xavier (which is also my alma mater) is an all girls high school. Our campus is pretty evenly split between macs and PCs. My domain lies with the Apple computers (and other technology) on campus. I originally went to college for English Education and eventually switched to Communications. I have experience teaching technology at Apple and teaching high school theology at my Church. Right now I am working to implement iPod touches, and have a group of teachers in my pilot program.
