m-Rosaleda, nº 5
Como este trimestre mis alumnos han leído para Filosofía El señor Ibrahim y las flores del Corán, les propuse que hiciéramos un monográfico dedicado a la novela: la sugerencia cayó casi por completo en saco roto.
En cualquier caso, tocan temas que me parecen interesantes: la (des)igualdad de género, la televisión, el alcohol, los accidente…

My Crazy Month Begins
As a FCCLA Sponsor, Yearbook Advisor, Senior Class Sponsor, Mom, Wife, Teacher, and all other obligations that come with those roles, I experience the worst bulk of these roles in the month of February. By this I mean that most of these organizations that I am involved in have some event that happens this month.
To begin with I start in the middle of January getting the FCCLA students ready for the county fair that is held the first week in February. This means hours after sc…

Video Podcast
This is by far the coolest thing I've done on the internet...
I created my video podcast for my 8th grade math class. Those students are currently working on an assignment where they have to design their "dream bedroom" and create a scale drawing along with a written description of thier dream room. Unfortunately, being that my students are vitrual learners, I don't have the opportunity to work with them on a daily basis. I created this video podcast to show them examples of how to app…

Screen casts!
I LOVE the idea of screen casts! It took some preparation and rehearsal, but I think that the uses for screen casts are many. It is a great way of creating a tutorial without having to be somewhere. Students could view them and create them. It would also be a great tool for educators to show one another when asked "how did you do that?" I am very excited about this new too…

Tiering Lesson Plan
I created a videocast in Camtasia about Tiering and how I use tiering in the classroom. I found Camtasia more difficult to use than Windows Movie Maker. When I create another movie or video, I will once again use Windows unless I can figure out Camtasia before that time. I totally created my presentation by accident and could not tell you how I did it. When I tried to get it to create the presentation, the help file told me to choose a command, then it would not work once I did try and choose…

Virtual Field Trips
As I was getting back in the swing of things from Thanksgiving break, I could not help but think how wonderful it would be to take my students on a field trip. I began pondering this thought, and ran into many road blocks along the way... not enough time to plan before Christmas break, not enough funding from the school, and lastly transportation and cost of getting there. With all of these thoughts in mind, I immediately decided that a field trip was just not in the plan for this school year…

Candidates Debate with You Tube
While taking EDU 595, I have become aware of so many additional “tech tools” that the rest of the world is using. It is amazing how when you are immersed in a topic, how many more connections you make. Blogs about television programs have caught my ear. RSS feeds on numerous websites have caught my eye. Candidates running for President of the United States debating while using YouTube have got my attention. I did not know tha…

My Screencast
When creating my screencast, I took several things into consideration. The most important being the fact that I had NEVER created something like this before. Therefore, I wanted to do something that I felt would be simple, yet helpful to some people. I chose to create my screencast on how to open an e-mail account. This was something that I felt I could thoroughly explain to someone who was not as familiar with the internet.
I used the program Camtasia. This program was very simple…

The days of your children coming home only to say "I forgot my library book at school, and I need it…

Hi everyone
I am a student at St. John's University in the education program and one of my professor is asking us to plan a class trip for our potential/future students. I'm just curious as to your opinions about planning a museum trip. What are the dos and don'ts of planning a class trip and what should be done to ensure that everyone safely returns and the trip is a success.
Thanks,

I read an article on the Technology infused English classroom. This is important to me because I teach English. The article is from 2005 however, it includes the vision for the future classroom and it is quite good. This article outlines the minimum code for a technology infused English classroom. It then presents a series of scenarios in which teachers and students utilise technology to enhance the learning process. Finally, Westside Elementary School in Hood River, Oregon and Tahatai Coast…

I found it extremely difficult to figure out a topic to create my podcast on; however, I figured it would be most appropriate to discuss something that would be useful within my own classroom!
I used the program Audacity, and found it to be EXTREMELY easy to use. I loved it. I honestly think that I would use it more often to do things of this nature for my classroom. The only think that was remotely difficult was exporting the file to an mp3; although, after I searched t…
