Friday's final log

I created a nice looking newspaper style log and was going to post it on my blog, but found out that there was no browse button. Now what, hmmm.....

Writing Powerpoint...your excitement for incorporating technology into your classroom is contagious. Do not be afraid to make mistakes because everything is a learning experience for you and your students. Where will this powerpoint be placed? Please share.

Cathy's demo

I love your enthusiasm for this new knowledge. It will be fun to watch you grow in your knowledge and experience. Remember to keep this living document breathing. Practice regularly. About the teacher page.

Great job Alena

Alena, You have put great thought into the layout of your weebly and how it will serve you and your students. I really like the consistency of information and layout. This is important to me. I also know that your students will appreciate the youtube clips that you have provided; they will enforce what you need them to know. Your explanations of different terms that will be commonly used is also a great best practice. I will be watching as you grow your site.

Learning is fun...when everything works well

Learning is fun and exhilarating when everything from the technology works well, but meanwhile the frustration buildings when little pieces of the puzzle don't work right. I want to create a movie for freshman orientation in the library media center. I need to incorporate my information literacy standards and the movie along with the tour of the LMC.
