This feature is delicious!

This whole delicious thing is a great tool. I've been using it alot today with making my lesson plans for the week. I really like the ease of it. I'm starting to understand how the tags can be beneficial. Another tool I've learned through this course!

Some new links on Delicious!

Hey guys! Added some new links to my delicious page. Some great resources for utilizing the SMART Board in your classroom. Take a look if you get the chance. Thanks!

Original & New Image

Hey guys! This activity was a bit confusing to me,and I'm still not sure that I did exactly what was expected from us. I'm fortunate enough to have a Smart Board in my room so any image I want to pull can be displayed and manipulated by myself or my students. As you can see I manipulated a map of the local area to only show West Virginia. All I know is that it's been an exhausting week, and my brain needs a break from blogging, assessing, and any stress. I'm off to Red Lobster and a movie! Have a great weekend everyone!

My Idea!

Hey guys! Back with another post for my course. I would like to complete a media presentation on the importance/impact of Smart Boards in the classroom. I have had one in my classroom for nearly two months, and they are finally being installed (Thank the lord!!!) this week. I can't wait for the opportunity to incorporate it into my daily lessons with my students. I want to learn as much as I can about the benefits of utilizing a Smart Board in the classroom so that I am sure I'm taking full advantage of all it's capabilities.

My Delicious Account!

Just set up my delicious account! I thought I was fairly web/technology savvy before this course started, but am learning quickly that there are so many interesting resources out there that I was unaware of. Very cool! As an educator, learning new things is one of the most important aspects of my life. I have attached a link to my account.

Resume Post

Hello everyone! I've posted the link to my first teaching resume. When I look at this resume, I'm sure I didn't get my position based solely on it, as it lacked depth. But with two years under my belt, my resume has definitely become more well-rounded in the teaching profession. I love the school and position that I'm in, so hopefully updating my resume isn't something I'll have to concern myself with for a long time to come.

Hope this works! Thanks for taking a look!

Welcome!

Hello everyone! This is my blog for my EDUC 6305 through Fairmont State University. I'm really looking forward to this class as it seems very technology based and challenging. I was very excited to see we didn't need a textbook for this class! A little information about myself, I'm a 26 year old Special Education teacher at Berkeley Heights Elementary School in Martinsburg, WV. My girlfriend and I have a wonderful white boxer named Sampson. I'm a sports fanatic! I love the Washington Wizards, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Orioles. I'm well traveled! I've visited places such as Dominican Republic, Jamaica (x2), Bahamas, Cancun, and Hawaii. We are currently looking to book our next trip for this semester. I look forward to networking with my peers in this course. Best of luck to everyone!
