School house rock- That video was cool becuase it is very imformative and the students can have fun while they learn about important things! I am a firm believer that students can memorize things alot better through music, songs and poems. So learning this way is very valuable for the students, because I feel they will better remember the things they learn such as this video on the preamble! I love it! and I know that things that this that contain learning with music will be involved in my students learning, an important part of my classroom!!

I actually had alot of fun making my final project! I probably liked it cause it was about my family! It was fun! Although I ran into some problems when trying to upload my project, the pictures got all messed up and were no longer aligned where I had them, it was a mess. So what I ended up doing was making my paper into a pdf file, then uploading it, and that worked...but then I ran into my next problem, it wouldn't allow me to publish it or else it would get all messed up again! AHH I was getting so frusterated cause I knew how to do the things but when I would do them they would mess up the layout of my project! it was so fun to be able to know how to do those things to put them on a site! I definitley think that I will be using these things I have learned in my classroom, not only does it keep you very organized but it helps parents be able to be more involved in the classroom!!!

Kidspiration was awesome! What a great tool for the kids to use to learn! I remember when I was in Elementary I hated brainstroming and making idea webs, but I think if I would have had this cool tool I would have enjoyed it alot more! I thought it was fun that you could add in pictures and make it really cute. Not only could the students use it to learn but even for the younger grades the teacher could create a really cool brainstorm to help the kids come up with cool ideas and learn with the teacher! I really like this program!

This week we learned about Kid inspiration program, and I really liked it! I thought it was a great way for students to collaborate together and to learn new things. I really thought it was cool how you could incorporate pictures into the page and really make it cute! It was simple and easy to do which sometimes is a must for students to stay focused and entertained with the assignment! I wish that that program was free :) I really liked it and I am really excited to have a break this week no class on monday baby!!!! WAHOO!!!!

"I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn" Albert Einstein

That is an awesome quote! I absolutley agree that having a creative fun classroom really adds to the students' oppurtunities to learn!

" Team building must be a component of every teacher's curriculum because learning can only begin when students feel secure with those who share thier learning space!"
This video is full of good quotes!
It was cool to learn about the global sites that you can connect your students to, I had no idea there were such things out there. I think that is really cool and what a great way to learn about different cultures, and how different cultures do school and learn! I really liked the video!

How will Picasa, PowerPoint, and Google Presentations help me teach my students? I think that those tools are awesome for the classroom. I think the students would pay alot more attention to things like that than they would to a book!
How will Picasa, PowerPoint, and Google Presentations help me help my students' parents with resources and tools to empower their own children? I think that it would help them by teaching students to use and create their own powerpoints.
How will Picasa, PowerPoint, and Google Presentations help me help my colleagues and other teachers? I think you can create awesome presentions by collaborating together and google presentations can do that easily and effectively.
In which ways might I employ Picasa, PowerPoint, and Google Presentations to reach beyond my standards to empower my students? By being excited using them in the classroom, and teaching children to learn through technology rather than strickly by books!

i thought this video was really funny! I liked it! And I think alot of the things he said were definatley true! I myself really like powerpoint presentation and I think if I teach older grades I will most likely use alot of presentations using power point! I know alot of people don't like powerpoint butCertainly do!! The video was funny tho!
