Today was quite and exciting day. We got to learn how to use google docs. I knew about google docs before we learned about them today. However, I didn't know how to create and share them. I only knew how to look at them. Now I know that I can create a document and share it. This way an entire group can work on one project without having one particular person in charge of editing. Everyone can put in their information and edit on the same page. This could be shown to student groups if they have an assignment that they have to do together. They can use the google docs for easy access and editing their assignments.

YETC

So, today for class, we got to explore some different education sites. Just on the YETC site, there are 2 links that link to numerous other sites. It's kinda cool to see how much there really is on the internet to help us as teachers....just to make things a little less stressful! My favorite website that we looked at was storylineonline.net. I like seeing actors read out the books because they really bring the words to life by doing different voices, faces, and at least one prop. This I think would be so good for students because it allows them to see people who enjoy reading.

The Beginning

Never, ever did I think that I would get my own blog. Family, friends, it seemed like everyone had their own blog. I enjoyed keeping up on their information, but I told myself, 'nothing interesting happens that anyone would like to read about.' Now, people get to read my blog for a class...Thus the beginning of at least a semester of blogging!
