There is more space if you want!

There is plenty of space but they squeeze into 1/3 of the space in the Prius!
Mandy Lane, Lacey Loralai, and Jett Blue...The is was on the way home from picking him up at GPA. Two of them have on gentle leaders for control when out of the car and walking, at this time....

Inserting video from You Tube

It was not easy to get a video of Jett Blue rolling over at agility. Holding the camera, not having my finger over the lense! And he is very fast and spontaneous! It isn't easy for a greyhound to roll over because of their build.

It is a miracle she was still long enough for this photo!

Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers....

Playing with Picasa Mosiac ...

This is Jett Blue, Mandy Lane, and Lacey Loralai! The boy is definitely interested in watching the computer. 

#11 Tool Self Assessing and Reflecting

Wow, there are so many tools/options to have in my personal technology toolbox! Wattpad, Penultimate, Evernote, CloudWord, Idea Sketch, iBrainstorm, Storyrobe, oh so many! Where to start will be the next thing to do.


I am so glad that the use of technology will improve in the class given the NetBooks and iPads! I just need to spend some time figuring out how to improve their writing skills and English Language fluency skills using these tools.


I am really happy to see the podcasts about using the Netbooks so they can be shared with the students. I am using Symbaloo to bookmark what I am going to need easy access too. 


The next year will be coming soon!

#10- Underneath it All-Digital Citizenship

I looked at Janie Livingston"s and Sandy Zarea's post on this because they have been working at this for a while. I liked Janies: (1) Establish Clear Expectations and (2) Personal Responsibility. Sandy's three:


      Three things I want my students to understand:
1. The Internet is a wonderful research tool, but you must double or triple check the information and use multiple sources.
2. Any information that is put on the Internet can come back to "haunt" you in various ways, personally and professionally.
3. There are many different types of cyber-bullying, and it is not appropriate in any form.

I will use this to help create my direction for instruction.

I am putting a link to the district chart and might have assign students certain links to view and report what they learned to the class. They need to learn to form their own opinions and express them.

Digital Citizenship responsibilities need to be at the forefront of beginning to use the Dell Netbooks and iPads, as well the computers in the lab.
