Welcome to Prior Lake Middle School's Media Wiki!

This is my first time creating a Wiki, and I am very excited to share with all of the Hidden Oaks and Twin Oaks Middle School staff new ways to incorporate and use technology in your classroom, recommend new books for you and your students, attach tutorials for technology we are incorporating into our district to help you feel comfortable.



The first thing that is that we are incorporating Schoology into our district this fall. Take a look at it to get familiar with it with this link: [|Schoology] Use your school email and password to enter Schoology. I would suggest that you take time to look through the tutorials and the help so you get familiar with the look and feel and the "How To's" before school begins. Schoology looks like a Facebook feed so it is familiar to most parents and students around the world.

The next thing that we are incorporating into our district will be [|Safari Montage] This is a unique online video on demand package for staff to use to incorporate into lessons in your specific content areas. Every video or DVD that you check out from the media center is most likely in this video database and there will be hundreds of videos to choose from. The nice thing about this program that I have seen so far, is that you will be able to build your own "library" collection of videos from your class on your own dashboard. It will be helpful to watch tutorials to help guide you through the steps of building your own collection and how to navigate. If you would like a tutorial for Safari Montage, here is a link: media type="youtube" key="aelTTwYT5JU?list=PLB4808438713AAB9E" width="560" height="315"

I will continue to update staff on new and incoming technology. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions and I will try to research and support you every step of the way.
