Week 4

OMG! I think it may have worked after all!! It only took all day!!! It DID!!! I'm feeling really great right now!!!! I did it all by myself:) The video I chose is How To Care for Library Books which would be good for the students to watch before they check out books. I thought it was very useful for the library.

Today I created my Animoto video. That was fun. Had no problems!! Just posted some pictures from the family:)

Week 4

Week 3

Week 3 - After having quite a frustrating week at home trying to figure out what to do, I was looking forward to going to our meeting to get everything resolved. But as usual, the internet was moving SOOOOOO SLOWLY it only made me all the more frustrated with this technology course. Michelle did everything she could to help and I really appreciated all her help but we should be able to have access to everything we need while at our workshops so that our questions can be answered while we're there. While at the workshop I was able to set up my voki, thanks to Michelle....After getting home I was able to look at igoogle and play with it and get used to it. I was already familiar with Google Earth and find it to be a very useful tool. I learned today igoogle has a lot of tools on it I was not aware of. Being an aide I'll probably not use these at work but will use some of them at home.

Week 2

Week 2 - This is giving me a headache!!! I learned today what a blog is and I'm excited to learn everything I can. I'm sure with my bottle of Advil close at hand I'll make it thru this technology course. For some reason Mrs. Lew keeps popping up on my blog...what's up with that??? I even changed my blog title & address thinking that would get rid of her name, but it didn't!! MICHELLE!!!! I need you at my house!!! Okay, I will add my Voki at a later date. I hope I can successfully register my blog now.....Wish me luck!

Week 1

Week 1 - I am technology challenged, but I know I need to keep up with new technology in order to help prepare our students for the future. I'm hoping I can be successful at this!!! Students enjoy reading books on the computer & this may get some interested in reading that otherwise wouldn't have been.
