I chose to organize my assignment using Google sites. You'll find the assignment here:
Additionally, I opted to create a second Google site for the Professional Development aspect. While the link is embedded into the first site, I'll provide the link independently here as well:
As I'm not a practicing teacher, with my experience more toward informal learning (museum education) rather than the classroom, I opted to focus my technology integration initiative in my home away from home, the WV Folklife Center. This is a project that I hope to implement, or at least get started, although it may not fit the provided time frame that the timeline projects. In fact, I got myself excited enough by it, that I've considered beginning it by myself over the summer. I may at least combing through our archived oral histories to begin selecting samples.

Thank you for posting, I will leave specific comments in Taskstream.
Tiffany,
This is a great idea, and something I would love to see at a museum. I don't think I ever have, although I've been to many with the audio either at the display or via a headset you can wear. Using a smartphone is a great idea. Hopefully you'll have a good team of people who can coordinate well and pull it all together!
This is cool. I am sorry to admit that I have never been to the Folklife Center even though Dr. Byers is a hero of mine. I will have to get up there soon.
I think you are right, I'd be great to utilize the smart phones that people are bringing in. That would keep you from having to "ruin" the effect of the place with something new... It sort of a BYOD approach to technology integration.
