Correcting blog error

I sent a blog today, I spelled a word incorrectly. How do you go back and correct a blog that has already been posted?

Animoto - Sign Up

I signed up today so that I would be prepared for the Dec. 3rd class. Thanks Leigh for the information - this was a great idea.

Info learned at our PLC2 meeting

Our school system has a new website and so do each of the schools. The websites will be updated daily. Every teacher in the system will have her/his own webpage and will be expected to keep it updated daily. By January the new sites should be ready. We could work on our websites together in our after school meetings.

Downloading pictures to Laptop

I downloaded my pictures off my camera to my laptop computer at home. I then made a slide show as a screen saver. I bet you can't guess which pictures I have on my computer -
GRAYSON!!! The most adorable person in my life!! My husband and I have both enjoyed the pictures.

Interactive Graphic Organizer

I showed this website on my dry-erase board, using the Infocus machine. Together as a class, we filled in the Free Form Web with information we have been learning in reading about quality of life. I sat at the computer and typed what the students called out. By the end of class,we had a completely filled in graphic organizer that the students copied into their notebooks. It was a great review for our week-long class discussions. The only problem was that since my Infocus machine is close to my board, we couldn't get the entire graphic organizer on the screen at one time. That was a little frustrating. I've got to move my Infocus back some.

Animoto

Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Hall are going to teach us all how to make an Animoto video at our Dec. 3 meeting. So, we all need to bring several digital pictures with us - either in our cameras or on a jump drive. We will meet in Mrs. Hall's room.

Latest Meeting

Tuesday, Nov. 17, five from our group met. First, we worked on our gmail accounts. We chose themes for our accounts and then we organized our mail into labels and folders. Next, we practiced using the google calendar. Lastly, we visited some interactive websites.

Power Point Comes to Life!!

This weekend found a power point teaching integers. (ppsst) I turned it into an activity in class, using the students as models. The visual/hands on activity brought enthusiasm and understanding the concept of integers.

New Interactive Websites

I have added several new interactive websites to our "favorites" list. If you know of others, email them to me, or list them on the blog. I will add them to the "favorites" list.
