Oops it's 12

Urban Planet is still moving along, slowly tho. I am also working on Streaming Video for use with my Academy about bridges. Marcia Preller is helping with that since my laptop is being uncooperative at the moment and I need to show it to 14 different rooms at once. So I will need to burn it to a disc, which we discussed last Wed. also. I will not need the whole video, just a bit as a teaser. We will be building bridges from newspaper and tape and testing them to see what weight they will hold. The video will be a great intro, I hope. That is thing number 9.

11 is the number

I learned many new things last week, researching Informe. One that it was kind of difficult, so I was glad to have the opportunity to do so. But I can see how it could be useful. I will need to do more work on it. I also learned how some of the databases others used will be useful for my students and myself. Good session!

Urban Planet Post-10th

Yesterday I attended a session on Urban Planet and started to create my very own web page! It seems user friendly. And with Leslie's help and also the Ballroom Queen I was able to do some things. I hope I remember how to do more or that the help site is very helpful. Leslie has another idea for me instead of a Blog for my classes-I forget what it is called, starts with an M. More steps. It appears they are getting bigger.

Next one, I forget which number

I have just found out how my students will be able to receive email addresses at school from one of our tech people. Then I talked to them about which will be the best way for them to be able to view the blogs and we agree that I will set up a hot mail account and download all the blogs, the students will have access to this computer in my classroom and be able to view them when they have time. I will hopefully set this up for 2nd trimester. I was also pleased to meet the Indian Ed person here teaching Ojibwe (I believe, then again it could be Dakota, I should check our course offerings). She is pursuing podcasts and we may be able to trade information because she is interested in blogs.

Next one, I am loosing track of which one

I have been checking on how I can obtain email addresses for my students so they can blog second trimester and have figured out the logistics for that with one of our tech people. Then the next problem is how would they view each others blogs. I think I have it somewhat figured out, by my having a hotmail address and downloading the blogs there for everyone to read because I definitely would not use my school address. I also was excited to meet the person teaching Ojibwe here, she is researching podcasts and is interested in blogs, so we should be able to share ideas.
