VALENTINE MAIL <3
This is the Valentine's bulletin board that Samantha and I came up with! Students will each be able to make and create their own paper plate pockets with their name on it. In each pocket, their classmates will be able to fill it up with Valentine cards and goodies. This is an organized way for a teacher to distribute especially with a class of about 25 children. Samantha and I had a lot of fun creating and putting it together. It also brought some Valentine spirit into our college classroom.

Glog Day 2

A Sick Day for Amos McGee Glog

Today I learned about how to use a Glog. I was able to create a new account and even some what start on my very own for my book that I will be using for my lesson. At first I was a little bit confused but once I started playing with it I got a handle of it . I am excited to work more on it over the weekend and see what new things I will find about the book such videos and pictures. I would use this glog after I have read the book because it will provide students with more information of the book outside of the story.

Day 2

Last week we learned more about blogging, we posted two new blogs and were able to comment on others. We learned about wordle which I enjoyed very much and also dicussed about ways we can use it in class. Today I expect us to learn about glogster which I have heard about before but never had the opportunity to use it. I also watched the video and I thought it is an amazing technology that not only students will have fun with but also learn from. I LOVE creating posters or bulletinboards so I definetly think as a teacher I would enjoy using Glogster in my future classroom.

End of Day 1

Learning about blogging was very interesting. I really loved the Wordle but I had a problem where I was almost done and everything deleted! I managed to finish though and I think this second time the wordle came out better. I would use the worlde in my elementary classroom by displaying it on the smart board before the class starts. Students will come in, see and read the words. This will give them an idea of what the story is about. A stort of hint about the story. The colors also that I used stand out especially the yellow background because the color of the book itself is yellow. :]

Day 1

Today I am excited to learn more about blogging. I have actually never used it before and I definitely would like to start now and see how I can use it in my future classroom.
