Thing #23

Okay...I've got to hurry. I'm almost out of time. There were really so many amazing things that it's hard to come up with just one...or even just a few that were my favorite. I liked Big Huge Labs and all that they had to offer. I think some of them will be great to use with younger students. And, I do like the podcast/vidcast thing...even though I'm having trouble with it.

One word to sum it all up??? Awesome!

I think I'd like to try the 11.5 things next summer. I did enjoy learning....but I think I shouldn't have procrastinated!

Thing #22

Nings! I did look at this site and floated around. I just couldn't bring myself to register for another site! I do think it has a lot to offer....when the time permits. There was a discussion on RtI....which was good. I also found a post about a collaborative early childhood site that offers activeboard lessons. That's something I'll go back and find to share with primary teachers on my campus. Do Nings have value...yes....I just don't think I can put the time into it right now :(

And....Blogger has decided that it thinks I am a bot....so I am now having to verify for every post that I create!

Okay......I've done the audio...don't like it .... again! And the video....I'm having trouble with! I've been working on this for the last six hours (with the exception of nicotine breaks to deal with my frustration) with no luck! I'm going to do the audio one more time and then post it...good or bad. I don't know what to do about the video. I've taken video of my screens but can't seem to get it together.

I'll be back to drop in the audio...gotta take care of the other things before time runs out!

Way too many things to see here! But, I decided to try and post this video on juggling and the center of mass...it just looked fun!


Okay....I'm having major trouble getting my chosen video into my blog without covering up items in my sidebar. I can't seem to change the size. I tried converting through zamzar, but keep getting a message that the file is not compatible with wmv, flv, wav, or avi. So, can anyone help me on this one???

Thanks!

I've posted the video in a separate posting titled Thing #20 B above. Thanks, Vaughn!

I checked out a few sites but was most interested in the TuDiabetes. I've been looking for sites that focus on this particular health issue and have found some good ones. But this you can actually become part of a group by state - which is nice. The layout was easy for me to follow - and they actually had several topics listed that are current and active (which I've been looking for). So, I know this isn't educational for the classroom...but it will be a good move for me personally.

GoogleDoc is what I chose to explore. I like the fact that I can collaborate with people using this feature. Rather than going back and forth with emails, we can all access one document and make changes.
