INNOVATION: SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM
==

[[file:KennedyMStoryboard.pptx]] Update 4/6/2012
I tried Google Docs but I couldn't figure out how to get exit transitions on my timeline slide, so I went back to PowerPoint. Made corrections suggested by Dr. Toledo and filled in information on the slides.

=Storyboard Updated 4/9/2012= This update is based on Dr. Toledo's feedback. I went back and created it in Google Docs. This does not have week 6 updates yet.

StoryboardUpdated 4/16/2012
Added slides 19-21 to discuss the adoption rate of social media. Still trying to figure out exactly what I should put in the presentation and how it should be presented. I'm struggling with finding information on the adoption rate of all of the social media sites.

StoryboardUpdated 4/22/2012
Added slides 22-25 predicting who the innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards were in adopting social media in the classroom. Chose a combination of perceived attributes that would get social media to critical mass adoption.

I just tried to watch the presentation and Google Docs is giving me an error message. I hope this is fixed soon. Not sure what to do at this point. You can look at the individual slides but you cannot view the presentation, or at least I could not view the presentation using Chrome.

StoryboardUpdated 4/29/2012
Added slides 26-30 discussing critical mass and roles of change agents. Also went back and updated slides 1-6 adding in the actual narrative (I think =) ). Updated slide 20, found this website [] and decided to use his data to calculate percentages and graph the s-curve. Decided to remove higher education from presentation and just focus on K-12. I downloaded my presentation as a PowerPoint and then uploaded it to Brainshark so that I could get an idea of how audio was going to added. Will experiment with that more this week to see if I can get the audio to add correctly. I think I am finally getting the hang of this presentation. =)

ABOUT ME:
=== I'm originally from Louisiana and currently live in Douglasville, GA. I taught middle school math for 12 years and I'm now a full time student at Walden pursuing my specialist degree in educational technology. I decided at the end of the 2010-2011 school year that classroom teaching was not for me and I have decided to pursue a career in one of my areas of passion, technology. ===
