Or perhaps if you are a sole SDC teacher within a district, it would also come as a surprise. Do you listen to the chatter in the teacher's lounge? Do you become part of the conversation? Are you part of the instructional technology buzz on the internet, constantly searching for lesson planning ideas and ways…

Seeker replied to Michelle Sumner's discussion Google Wave for Dummies in the group Teachers in Google Wave"Here's a quick cheatsheet if you are new to Google Wave: http://goo.gl/nGsD (available in English, French, and Spanish)"
Derrick Waddell replied to Michelle Sumner's discussion Google Wave for Dummies in the group Teachers in Google Wave"Gina Trapani's "The Complete Guide to Google Wave" is a good place to start. It's comprehensive and easy to follow. You can buy the book, or read it on the wiki here: http://completewaveguide.com/"

Google Wave for Dummies
Ok, so I am a bit behind. Can we start with "Google Wave for Dummies"? I'm looking for, "first, then second, then..." something along that line. Keep it simple please. I am a bit in my "discomfort zone".
"A great book on this subject is called
" A Mind At A Time", by Mel Levine.
In my opinion, it is like a reference book, but can also be easily read from cover to cover. I especially enjoyed the many tips for teachers."

- About Me
- My name is Michelle Sumner and I am a teacher. Being Deaf, I use technology in every aspect of my life and I make an attempt to demonstrate its use with my students to enhance instructional opportunities as well as build confidence and expose them to real life situations they will encounter upon leaving High School. Sharing our ideas with others helps us develop confidence. Listening teaches us to respect others. This is how I leave my mark on the world.
