Yeah! I was able to get my PowerPoint into Google Docs and onto my website thanks to you, Jess! Thanks for the help.
I am going to attach Google Reader next.
This has been such a wonderful learning experience. There is a definite learning curve and the little things can take lots of time (i.e., formatting images).I am very excited about my Box.com work and uploading the Toolkit Texts. Thanks for the guidance:)

Create a 1-3 question google survey for your class website. Embed it on one of your pages. Think of beginning of the year activities - asking students for their name, age, gender, etc. You'll be able to use this as a data-collection activity! Or sign up for a google reader accout and add some news feeds - then make a plan for when and how you would check your google reader account. Reflect on your work below.

I worked at signing up for Google voice... i still need more work on it. ! Returning to picturetrail, I finished my website by embedding a photo video of my family for my "All About Me" page of the website. This is wonderful training and I really appreciate the opportunity to learn what we are and to learn how to find my way around the internet!

Another mind boggling day! Signed up for RSS subscriptions including posterous. Then I used Picture Trail to embed first day of school pictures...I learned how to add captions...then I was amazed to see that my newly updated photos automatically updated in my website.
