efolio

I love this project, for being a person that is still in the job hunt it is a great way to get my information and stuff so that gives them an opportunity to see what all i have done before they get a chance to talk to me.  We had to do a e-folio to graduate from SRU in Health and PE.  But this one was only on a CD that i had sent to a couple of schools with my resume and application. So for me this is a very good project to do.  

digital story

I love this idea of the digital story book.  It is a great way for students to express their creativity during projects.  This is a good idea for me as a health teacher for a project that i did in student teacher having them write a story about drugs and alcohol.  I had students draw the pictures or use a computer to create images.  This way the students can just do them all on the internet and send them to me in a e-mail then this eliminates a bunch of paper work i would have to take home.

cool tools for schools

I find this site to be really helpful.  It has all these cool tools that you can use for a number of things.  I was playing around with the creativity tools link and it has like all kinds of thinking puzzles and stuff like that that you can do with your students.  This is a cool site for stuff to give your students to do while they have a sub in the classroom and you dont want to start something new.

Virtual Field Trip

This project has given me so many ideas of how to incorporate this into lessons that i would use in a class for an actual field trip for the students to take.  I can pick points in mercer to spend the day going to see and have students use the map to show their parents where all the visited. 

google map

I love this little handy dandy tool.  Now that i know how to make my own custom map i have made a fishing and racing map of all of our favorite sites that my boyfriend and me are going on a week long fishing trip and trying to hit up as many steams and rivers that we can from one side of the state to the other.  So this makes my life a lot easier to plan the trip. 

THANK YOU
GOOGLE MAP!!!!

new found love.... GOOGLE

So after last nights class i have fallen in love with google.  I have only really used google as a search engine.  My brother has always tried to get me to use gmail and goggle doc but i always said why do i need that stuff i already have a e-mail account and have microsoft office so why switch when i already know how to use office?  After last night i plan on using google as much as i can when i get a full time job.  Blogging for students would be a great way for me to see if students really get what i was teaching them and google docs is a great way for them to do group projects and activities.
