Carly's Day


Mom, dad, and family we celebrated Carly's birthday with all her friends and cooked up a nice meal for them all to enjoy. Later they tried on different hats that granny gave me years ago. I was really surprised because they loved that part of the party. I know this took place in the summer but I haven't been able to send pictures so I thought you could join me in my new adventure as a blogger. This is my new way to keep you all up dated on what we are doing out here as a family.

Enya, May it Be

NO Worries

Bottled vs Tapped

I know it has been awhile since I've been on my blog. Came across this video. Being blind to big businesses today can be a nightmare. Just when I believe (yes I know crazy) businesses care I view or read more information. Check this out..

A Few Thoughts Concerning Technology

How do you envision the future course of eduction? Do you focus on emerging technologies to predict what life will be like with new tools and how it weaves together with all the other forces: ecological, economic, political, and societal? Do you think about what education will be like under these conditions? Maybe it will change life drastically; maybe it won’t. Maybe government-supported education will diminish in a world with other opportunities. Do you think about what students will need to face, cope, and succeed in an ever-changing world. Or do you think about what we know and what we have in learning about the art and science of teaching, and how to transform the current system to get us where we want to be.
For me I think about transforming classrooms so students are prepared to face, cope, and succeed in an ever-changing world.

We have the NETS for Students as a guide to what students should know and be able to do to learn effectively and live productively. We have the NETS for Teachers as a guide to what teachers need to know and be able to do. Take a moment and read the NETS located under Bookmarks. We have old and new technology tools in our schools.

For instance using tools that have been around for a while: graphing calculators for math, digital video of scientific processes and simulations for science, word processing for English, and digitized primary resources found on the Internet for social studies. Newer tools (Web 20) are used in transforming content such as: blogs for online collaborative writing, podcasts of lectures for teachers who want to focus class time on projects, labs, and other curricular areas, electronic exercise equipment such as Dance Revolution and stationary bikes with built-in screens and video games for physical exercise.
Using certain technologies does have the power to start a transformation for teachers under the right circumstances. By identifying the transformative technologies, the curricula and essential conditions for their success, and sharing what works, we can contribute further to transforming education for students.
MyUEN Site to Visit

More Pictures

It is funny one of my students gave me this neat site to download and upload pictures and it is easy to upload to your blogs. I was so excited to share it with Carly but she blasted me. She just laughed and said "mom me and my friends always use this site for our photos". It is funny this has happen before when I wanted to share some neat Internet sites with her. She is already using them. I wish she would start sharing what she knows with me. It amazes me the stuff these kids know today when it comes to the Internet, sharing pictures, and music. Maybe they will be the generation to change how kids learn in school and teachers teach. I hope you all take a moment to enjoy some old pictures I was trying out in my new slide program.

Cory's Training

October Great Month

October is my favorite month. Not only because fall is here in full bloom but because my son Scott Michael was born on the 16th. Even though the Lord called him home early, his day is still celebrated. I burn a candle all day in remembrance of him. Thanks to Tiffany and Steve for this thoughtful act. It is a great way to remember those you love and lost. Another reason is the Halloween season. Halloween is so much fun with all the ghost stories, haunted houses, and goblins we have to deal with. Here is a great Halloween site to visit especially if you are interested in learning about ghost, witches’, vampires, werewolves, haunted house, etc... Take a peak and have fun. For the brave and curious visit this site Halloween.
