Time to get SMART!!!

SSpecific - what exactly will you do?  I will get all of my kids using new online tools this semester.
MMeasurable - how will you be able to prove it was done?  They will be blogging on their own, or otherwise on my website. 
AAttainable - Will you have the resources and time, what might you have to do to make it occur? Yes, I do. Once our tech guys can figure out how to get our small portable Mac lab running on our wireless network and NOT blocking google docs and other tools, we'll be golden.  
RRealistic - Make sure it is doable, you certainly can add something to a lesson plan or work item, you cannot get to the moon.  I will be introducing my website and Web 2.0 tools I've learned about in class. I will be introducing my screen casts and walk them trough how to make a blog.  Hopefully, they will be able to be up and running. 
TTimely - Assign a timeline - when will this be done by? This should be able to be done by the end of February. They will be introduced to them outside of the computer lab via smart board, then later, they will be taken to the lab to use some of the tools, especially those students without home internet access. 

There's the goal... and it's attainable.  Starting this week on it!!  It's going to happen.  I hope my enthusiasm spreads to my students and they pick up the Web 2.0 ball and run with it!!
