College- Week 7

Woo-Hoo!
It is the last week of class and I am already half way done! I did the Excel piece as well as one of the discussions and I am working on my digital portfolio. Very exciting stuff. I am especially excited to have the next two and a half weeks off. I have so much to do outside of school. I am the event planner for the fund raising team at my local YMCA and I am working extra hours at the spa I used to work at (gotta get some extra holiday cash!) not to mention.....
I am also trying to plan my wedding. EEEK! I am going a little insane to say the least. Well, I have to say, I am super glad to have taken this course and will definitely apply lots of the knowledge to my future classroom!

College- week 5

Oops again! Looks like I skipped another week! Well, that is probably because I have been working my hind end off trying to get everything done! This class has definitely been a lot of work. I have enjoyed learning about several technology elements I wasn't familiar with, like wikis and social networking sites available for classroom use. I will certainly be taking some of this new knowledge with me as I start my teaching career!

College- week 6

Well...
We are finally coming to the end of Ed Tech, and I have to say, I am relieved! It has been a lot of work and a lot of confusion. I don't think the class ever got less confusing, but I seem to have done alright. Me and my Fiance had a pretty interesting weekend. We took in a dog that was roaming the streets and put up lost signs and CL ads hoping his family would be looking for him. Fortunately they were, he was picked up today around 3pm. So needless to say, I didn't have a whole lot of free time this weekend, but I managed to get everything done! Woohoo!

You might be Jealous....er!

I also looked up the #1 song when I was born Annie (and everybody else) so drink it in!!




Ha ha ha!

College- Week 4

It has been a very busy week. Not only is Thanksgiving coming up, but we have five assignments due, plus this blog and some disscussion posts and my sister just had a baby!! Wew! It has been crazy to say the least. I took a plane up to Alaska (where I was born and raised) on Saturday and got to see my beautiful niece Kyla Jade (isn't she precious?). It has been great to see my family and friends, but there is a lot of work to do; and needless to say, I am a bit behind! Oh well, I am scurrying to get it all done. Did I mention I am the one cooking the Turkey? Yep, so I will let you know how that goes as well! Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I certainly will.

College- Week 3

I had a great time making my website. I wasn't really sure how to set it up considering I have not yet been an elementary school teacher and I have no idea what types of lessons I will present at that grade level, but I think I did pretty well. I wish the interface was a little more interesting. The setup in pretty boring and to the point. However, it is very user friendly.
I enjoyed the rubric assignment as well. In fact, so far all the assignments have been enjoyable. It is nice to have other students to talk to about the class and get feedback from them as well. I will be gone next week to visit my family in Alaska, my sister is having a baby! I am a soon to be aunt! Very excited if you can't tell! So I am going to be working really hard this week to get everything done for week 4 and 5 so that I don't have to do it while I am away.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

College- Week 2

Oops! I totally forgot to do a week two response to class! Oh well...here it is a week late. Anyway, things have been going pretty well. I am down to just the one class and it is much easier and less stressful now. Also I have really enjoyed all the articles so far and I think that the discussion posts are pretty fun. I think I am getting the hang of the class now, although some of the assignment due dates are still pretty confusing. The teacher has been helpful, but I think that being readily available online on the dates that assignments are due would be helpful. All is going pretty well.
More next week!
