Tuesday - AM

I embedded for the first time and we had some problems with the recording but are getting through it. I'm learning a lot, thanks.

Made a Voki and used my photo in Blabberize.... what fun.... Had trouble recording but am trying to work around it..... My Voki saved on my email but I was unable to retrieve it.... so I accomplished a lot today in quantity and had great fun B U T I completed nothing.

I used Blabberize to create an introduction to the U.S. Regions delevered by Martha Washington. I think this will pave the way for me to have students use Blabberize to make a presentation along with the state report they will do in the spring. Perhaps they will choose to use a famous resident from that state or else create their own character.

yeah! I made a voki for my classroom website ( Spot the Dog) and updated my Shelfari for the website too. Tried to make some photo files but having some difficulty uploading?????

I created a Voki character and put it on my website. I also played in glogster and started to create a glog. So much fun!

I updated my recommended books for back to school to my shelfari on my class wbsite. https://mrsdesenfantsclass.wikispaces.com/Kindergarten+Book+Shelf

I moved my picturetrail and animoto to a page with my thanksgiving video and big lab poster. I relabled this page 2010-2011. Now I have all my class tech projects from last year saved in one place.

My 1st/2nd graders could create a character to tell about themselves or about something they recently learned.

I really thought that this Voki website was wonderful. I embeded it into my website on my student of the week page. I am going to have my student of the week create one and put in on the webpage!

I plan to do a voki to put on my webpage. I think that would be a great thing to have the kids do at the beginning of the year to introduce themselves to me and the other students. Love it!

I made a poster! It was really easy and fun to use! I think that the students would enjoy making a poster about themselves at the beginning of the year!

I am working on some google docs this am. Love this as a spot to callaborate with students and colleagues. My goal is to create and embed a glogster in my website. And I am excited about the story maker. I can think of at least one student each year that struggles with taking pics to text and letting them do this online might help them with this skill.

I like to two sites for teaching students of all ages reading and writing skills. The students take pride in knowing they wrote the story and it helps improve their skills. Sheri J
