Whirlwind of Activity

Wow! Since I last blogged so many things have been accomplished in my life in the way of technology but yet so many are left to do.

I successfully set up Skype at Glenn Stephens and we have talked to people in Texas and South Korea. One of our teachers has a daughter that is teaching English in South Korea and we have been skyping with her. Our students love it!!!!! They are finding out all kinds of things about South Korea. They are learning about language, customs, food, etc. We will be having an interview with an author this week. Pretty exciting!

My second adventure was finding photos and clipart for Earth Day for Campanelli's and Shackett's glogster activity and putting them in a folder and then putting it on the s drive for students to access. After a many hours of researching and exploring this was accomplished with a great sense of satisfaction.

My next adventure was with glogster itself. This included emailing Lauren and getting help from Gina in figuring out the best route to follow in the way of a regular account or an education account. We ended up with the regular account, but I am still playing around with it and collaborating with Gina and Lori. We might just make it as we are pretty close. Most students have put their poster wallpaper on and named their file. The confusion has been on my part with glogster itself. We are hoping to finish this within the next couple of weeks.

Last adventure was with Marcia. We were able to add a table to our Wiki and feel we have a better idea of where we are going with our wiki. Yeah!

I hope to explore more with photos next. There is so much that can be done with that. Animoto looks like such an exciting activity to share with the students.
