Movie Maker

This way easy as soon as I figured out how to save my slides as images. I thought that this was a very neat tool to use. There were so many effects and transitions that could be added. Another problem I ran into was how to save it in order to upload it as a .wmv file to teacher tube. I finally figured out that I need to publish my post instead of save it to my computer. It also helped me to look off other people's pages to get an idea of how to complete the assignment. Hope you enjoy my movie!

Embedded Google Presentation

My sister and I worked on this together to try to figure it out. At first, we were trying to copy and paste our html into the box and save it, however, the presentation kept diappearing after we saved it. So...then we FINALLY figured out to insert the power point as a presentation and save it. And...it WORKED! I hope this is right. Hope you like it! Click HERE!

Google Docs Presentation

This took a little bit longer for me to figure out. However, I think this is very useful. It is amazing what all you can do! I never had a clue about any of this! I am learning so much. To make my google doc presentation work, I uploaded my lesson plan and had to edit the size to post it to my blog. Now anyone can view my lesson. Enjoy!

Power Point Web Page

This was another easy assignment to do once the power point was completed. There were very specific directions to create a web page, which was very helpful. When I first saw that we had three assignments due in one day, I was a little scared. However, after my lesson plan was finished, all the other things only took a couple of minutes to do. I could use this web page for students to look at or can view a lesson from their home. Also, any of my coworkers can access my lessons.

Here is a link to my power point web page.

Power Point Show

Once I completed my lesson plan on a power point, the power point show was extremely easy. All I had to do was save my power point as a .pps instead of a .ppt. I uploaded onto my FTP then linked it into my blog. It took about five minutes...if that!

I think this would be beneficial in the classroom because students can post their power point shows for other students or other teachers to view.

Power Point Presentation Lesson Plan

This was probably the easiest assignment for me so far. I was already familiar with power point and I actually didn't have any trouble saving it to my FTP and linking it to my blog.

Using power point is a great way to teach a lesson to keep the students focused or to even give a presentation. Power points are more appealing than just lecturing or using an over head projector.

Here is a link to my power point presentation lesson plan.

Photo Story

It took a while for me to get my photo story saved correctly as a wmv file. However, I think this is a neat tool and could use it in the classroom as a project to get to know my students better. This would be something they would enjoy to create.

Here is a link to my photo story.

FTP

I had no previous experience with FTP. I had to go to a friend's house in order to be able to log into the FTP site. Once getting logged in I had no problem saving documents to the site.

I think this is a great way to be able to access saved documents, however, I wish I could access it easier.

The link to my document saved on FTP is here!

Personality Activity

I made my guess before I took the personality test and I guessed that I was an ESFJ. After taking the test, the results showed that I was an EFSJ. However, I scored a 50% Thinking and a 50% Feeling. I was surprised to see that my guess was the same as the results. I figured this test would prove something different.

This makes me believe that this personality test is pretty accurate. After reading through the description of each one on SCORM, it was easy for me to make a guess as to what personality fit me best. Once the results showed that my hypothesis was correct and I read the description of my personality type, I felt like it was reading my mind! Everything was very true. I believe this test was valid.

To view results of my test click:

ESFJ -"Seller". Most sociable of all types.

Nurturer of harmony.

Outstanding host or hostesses.

12.3% of total population.

Cover Letter and Resume

It took me a while to figure out how to get a URL for my cover letter and resume to link to my blog. I finally figured it out and now I feel pretty confident for when I have to do it again.

This will be very useful for applying for a job. I think it is neat and that they can pull up your blog and look at you resume and cover letter. I think employers would be impressed to see that.

I would use this in the classroom for students to type, save, publish, and post their assignments. I think that this would be of interest to students now a days. They would probably enjoy creating a blog and viewing each other's assignments and submitting them to the teacher.

Finally....YAYYYY!!!!!

I feel as if I've reached a milestone just getting my blog and calendar finished! I THINK I am starting to finally get the hang of things! I really like the calendar that I created. It is a useful tool to keep my students organized and on top of things. My students can click on the calendar to view what is due and coming up. This way they know ahead of time what is expected and complete their work on time.
