Other video comments

I got some great ideas from the videos I watched. Great job everyone!

Malorie - great music selection. Music makes the whole piece more fun. 

Whitney Lethcoe - she did a creative family history project. I think students would really enjoy doing a video to tell the story of their family. 

Ashley Daley - She successfully made me want to go read The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. She had this great announcer voice to go with it. 

Allie Becker - fun use of photography and storytelling.

Alyssa Ash - She used a great page turning transition in the story she read. It made it feel as if she was reading it to me in the room. 

_______- (i accidently closed the page before I got her name. whoops) She used beautiful pictures that really brought the poem to life. It is a great way to get students excited about writing poetry with illustrations.

What I've Accomplished

We did a lot this week. Some of the sites seem really helpful and I am excited to know how to better use them. I am confused still by the Diigo sight. I am not sure yet how it is sufficiently useful; however, that is the only one. I enjoy the reader sight. I was able to put a couple of my friends blogs there for my convenience. And the website was a lot of fun to make. Please have an open mind when you read it under the "school" context. I got a little carried away. I want to learn how to use the Jing program or whatever it is the videos are being made of. It is amazing!

My website url is http://bananaand.pbworks.com/ and the link is posted on the right of my blog...check it out. 

This is Matt and I chatting about the web.

Why I love Education

The main reason I love education is because I love watching that moment when the lights turn on. It is that moment when the student finds success or understands the material. That is a golden moment. I am excited to take part in that. And kids are hilarious; I am excited to get to spend my time with them.
