Merit Week 20

I can't believe 20 weeks have gone by already.  I am just excited about using technology in class.  I keep thinking on new things to do.

The week started out great by attending the Good Teachers Conference held in San Jose.  I attended workshops on writing, behaving and one on technology.  Of course, the one on technology was my favorite. I started using the ideas on Monday.

I helped another teacher set up Kid's Blog for her class.  I showed her mine and how it works.  I help her set up her password, etc.

I worked with Allegra on how to put google docs as a list on a webpage.  I am setting up lists of my vocabulary and definitions in google docs but was having trouble displaying them on my web page.  Thanks!

My students want me to send in our video clip to CNN Student News.  I need to find time to do that.  I finished two IEP's.  I am so thankful that is all online now.  I brought one home to do this weekend  because it is due on Monday.

I have another IEP to attend on Tuesday where I want to recommend the student bring in his computer and type is written projects.  How do others feel about this?  The teachers can not read his hand writing.  Printing would be the issue.  Do we allow him the wireless password or does he bring a flash drive to the teacher to print his assignments?

I am trying to redesign my home office.  It feels like so much trouble.  I did go through old paper work and sorted out the old and unimportant.
