Power Point Presentation

For my PowerPoint presentation, I presented a lesson on the short vowel sounds. This is a PowerPoint that I can utilize with my elementary special needs students. This assignment helped me to become motivated to be more proficient with PowerPoint as I haven't used the program in awhile and would like to sharpen my skills. It's a great tool for presenting lessons to my particular group of students.

Social Networking Site for Educators

I just came across a social networking site dedicated for educators. Check it out!

I just registered, so I'll give it a try here soon.

Frustrated with.....

My effort on our Image Quiz!!! A 60%? I was expecting an easy 100%, but it's all good. I think the question about how many graphs confused me, I wasn't sure whether to consider both venn diagrams on Crappy Graphs as one or not. Nonetheless, I think I'll do just fine in this course.

Secondly, I'm beginning to understand how boring and frustrating being unemployed must be. I want to be back in school working with my students! But we are closed again tomorrow, and the rumor is the kids won't likely be there Wednesday, but teachers will have to report in order to make up Monday's Staff Development hours. I was able to get into my building this morning, and was able to get tons of things done before the custodial staff ran me off.

And a left field topic, the NBA All-Star Weekend was an absolute joke. Saturday's events were very boring, and the game really doesn't attract my attention like it used to, and cannot compete to the MLB All-Star game. And last but not least, my favorite basketball team, Washington Wizards, traded my favorite player to Dallas for pretty much next to nothing. I feel the organization does not care about it's fans who spend hard earned money to support that team!

I feel much better....:)

New Web 2.0 Article

I just finished reading the chapter on Flickr this morning. It's a very interesting site. I plan on uploading all my photos to it today, and do some exploring. But as I was searching the web, I came across an article related to Flickr's co-founder who is launching a new web-based game, Glitch.

Thanks!

Wordle

I completed a Wordle for both my Delicious tags and some random words that came to mind. This is my first attempt with HTML, but should be as simple as copying and pasting. Let's cross our fingers...And it worked perfectly. Pretty cool tool. Thanks for checking out my post!

Standard Covered:

3C - I felt as though this activity was a great way to communicate information and ideas effectively. Plus, I'm sure my students would think it was pretty cool to use Wordle for an activity with spelling/sight/vocab words.
