YEAH!

Great week! The projector was hooked up on Thursday and I immediately began using for our Archaeology. The kids were even impressed when I began typing their ideas as they were saying them. Can't wait for more....

The Airliner was dropped off in a box by my principal on Friday. Yes, I have to wait for another work order.

I'm EXHAUSTED!

Okay so the last two weeks have been a whirlwind! I'm not sure if I even know my name. We had successful back to school meetings. If you're familiar with BIST, I had to get out of my box and share with the group how we should start the year off. Thankfully there were other BISTY people there that were sharing as well. My powerpoint for the first day of school was ready to go and then MUCH to my disappointment my projector isn't connected to my computer yet. So I just did it the old school way and had class meetings discussing how our first week should go. Apparently we have the 50 ft. wire that connects the computer and projector in the building but we have to get a work order to connect it. WHY can't I just climb up on a few desks, push up a few ceiling tiles and connect it myself?! Good Grief.

Side Note: Kailey's first day of Kindergarten was this past week! My last of the four kiddos is finally in school. sniff. sniff. sob. sob.

Hmmm.....

So I just typed a big blog about how I have started my Webquest template, messed with gadgets on this blog and it was a very interesting read. HOWEVER...it wouldn't let me post it. So now you get this short sweet version since my creativity went into the last one that didn't show up. Maybe I'll have better luck next time :)

TESTING TESTING 123......

Look At Me!

As I'm being dragged into the age of technology, I guess it's time to do what millions of other people are doing. Blogging.



Where to begin?


I'm so excited to learn how to utilize this in my classroom. Angie (on my 5th grade team) and I were discussing at the end of last school year how we would love to have a journalism club. We went on to brainstorm how we'd like to have it paperless so that we can move the entire school building towards technology and a paperless society. Once I was introduced on how this blogging stuff works I immediatey was excited! THIS is how we can teach journalism and have our school connected through technology :)
