I would suggest sending home a newsletter or posting on a blog about what's happening in the computer lab so that parents will know what skills are being taught and what projects are being completed.

SMART Notebook

I have been working quite a bit on SMART Notebook this year. I've been creating my own, finding them on the web, and training my staff on how to use Notebook and how to make their own files. I would like to connect with others using Notebook.

Bridging Learning Theory, Instruction and Technology Reflection

I have often looked at the title of a class and wonder what exactly it would entail, wonder what would the class involve and if I would gain any knowledge applicable to the classroom. I did this with my Walden University Class Bridging Learning Theory, Instruction and Technology Reflection. I'm not one to spend a lot of time wondering which theory I lean toward or use the most. So when I started this class, I had to reflect a great deal on what I do, how I do it and put it all into writing.

Tribute to Mom

I've written before on my journal about my mom being ill so I wanted to update everyone. My mom passed away this past week at the age of 79. I was able to be with her and my dad during the six days prior to her death. Although she was in an almost comatose state, we talked and talked. (Or should I say, I talked and talked). This time allowed me to ask for forgiveness from her for any wrongdoings I had ever done and to pray with her every day. I know she heard me as she moaned as I talked. It was… Continue

other and the obje… Continue

Picture Collage Using Picasa

It's so exciting when you learn something new. I downloaded a collage application called Picasa and made a collage of pictures of my daughter and me in Yosemite National Park. I'm so excited I learned this new skill. Just think about how I can use this in the classroom. The students will love it.
