Today I felt more productive with what I was doing. Creating writing pieces or poetry is a form of entertainment for me so I really enjoyed this morning's workshop. I can see as to why we were doing it which is puts all of the pieces together. Now that I have my account on Gmail straightened out, I'll play with google reader more today to get a better understanding of it. So far tumblr seems like a nice program to use, but it's public viewing is what bother's me a bit. I wonder if teacher's woul… Continue

I thought it would make sense to start with several questions that's important to me have answered before our workshop is over.

It would take several staff meetings to intoduce the websites to them and I will use the projects I've created, show it to them on our projector, and urge them to play with the websites to find ideas that they can use with their classes. For instance, Voicethread can be used as a tool for Science PBA's (performance based asses… Continue

Good Morning Everyone
I know you could have sworn I was having breakfast with all of you and all of a sudden you now don't see me there, but I am, just now physically. Unfortunately I suddenly became ill and had to go home. I'm going to continue working on the voice thread project today and check out today's itinerary to stay caught up. You should all see me tomorrow.
