Voice theard

I had a lot of fun doing this project, however, i hate my voice! Also i am starting to get sick so it made my voice sounded even worse. It was really easy to upload pictures on the program and deleting and editing the final piece was really simple too. this would be such a good group tool, the kids could all comment on the same or different images. I would love to use this in my classroom someday.

Field work

I am currently in 4 ed classes and I am required to complete at least 30 hours of field work in a elementary school. I am completing my hours at Nordale elementary 3 days a week. I have so much fun in the class and working with the students. Today for my ed 422 class I got the chance to teach 4 1st graders who struggle with reading. They were so cute and when I told them that they could earn a prize if they were on there best behavior and stayed on task they immediately sat up straight and finished their work!
This is my 3rd semester at Nordale and I really love the school, all the teachers are so welcoming and I always feel very comfortable when I am there! I hope when I start my internship yeah I will be at Nordale!

story book

I had a lot of fun working with Panraven and creating my own story with the pictures from my vacation. It is a great tool to use with pictures that are very important. The only problem I had with the program is that it wouldn't let me upload my pictures form my computer, I had to switch to a different computer to get it to work but it was defiantly worth it!
If i was to use this in a classroom I would make sure that all the picture were uploaded before I let the students use it, in order to speed up the process and keep everyone working. This would be a great tool to use for Christmas presents or for assignments! It lets the students be creative and very productive.

Panraven fun!

Comic life

I had so much fun with Comic life, I made 6 or 7 comics and showed anyone who would humor me. this is such a awesome program for kids and adults and i cant wait to utilize this program in my classroom. No only will I use it for newsletters but my kids will start to use it for class projects. It gives students the opportunity to be creative and to work on something they are very proud of.

Cocktail party!

Last Friday my roommates at SAC and I threw a cocktail party for all our friends! We asked everyone to dress nice and bring a mixer. It was a awesome way to dress up and visit with our friends. My whole aprt. is really busy with school and work so this was a great opportunity for us to play classy dress up!
