I hate google earth

OK so maybe hate is a strong word, but this site was a pain. I spent way too long trying to figure anything out and then I really only got it done because of luck and help from Liz. I found it hard to figure out what the buttons were for, I couldn't find the help I needed and I now am not so excited to us it in my class. Sorry Val.

Using the tools

I am working with a group of teachers on an application for a summer class. We have to put together a plan for the sustained use of our project in the years to come and I created a wiki so we can all input our ideas!!!!
It was really cool to be able to use this tool.

mini sagas

I just composed my mini saga from the pictures of Daves photostream. This usually isn't my cup of tea but I was actually happy with my little story. I'm not sure if it was exactly what was asked for but I liked it. I could see using this in science because we try and get the kids to use inferences all of the time.

Well between my first entry and now I have been home for a month because of a broken leg. This really took me out of the roll I was on for this class. I am now back at work and my brain is working again so I will try and get back on track. I have been working through module 4 on social bookmarking. This is using delicious and diigo.

I like the idea of bookmarking sites so that I can find them later. After 20 years of teaching I feel like I have forgotten more about what I am doing than what I use on a daily basis. Maybe I can keep track of the good things I do know. :)
