I am interested in using prezi - I am tired of powerpoints so I imagine the kids are too. I would like to try and convert some of my lecture notes into different presentation formats.
This has been a wonderful course and I thank you sincerely for all that you have done for us. I have spent some enjoyable time playing this summer (neglecting the work I was planning on getting done).

Thing 8, Thing 21
I need to take time to explore Storybird and GoAnimate a bit more. At first glance, I am always thinking that I would like to share the technology with my older students for them to use when planning lessons.
I also think that this is the best replacement for making books in the storytelling unit for my entry level class. I see this as a great opportunity for collaboration with Language Arts for writing and illustrating a story for preschoolers.
There are some concepts/essential questions that could be better introduced with digital storytelling to better grab student's interests. We take lots of pictures in our lab and classroom and I try to use real life experiences in my lessons on a regular basis to promote interest in learning. I love all the tools for utilizing photos that you have shared. It's going to take time and thought (as well as trial and error) to use them effectively.

Week 6, Thing 13
I have tried this several times and keep getting the same message. It won't embed as a wall. Here is the link for the wall. Wallwisher for cudacare ; however, I was able to embed it on my edmodo site without any problems.

More fun. I think the girls would like to use this site for their lesson plans with the "littles."
Week 4, Thing 8
This was fun and lots easier than I thought it would be to create the avatar.

I found out how to add a link to the avatar if it's not possible to embed - of course I found it by making an error in posting it the first time.

Week 3, Thing 6
This would be a good resource for the girls to use to design their Tshirts next year. What a good way to give out a vocab list. I need to spend some time checking out S.Hendy's blog:
ToonDoo is celliott53 and p/w is cc

When it posted the side is cut off. The solution is to "find a way to planet NODOZ.
How can I resize to fit the space?

Posting and sizing a picture
Dad and Dee visited St. Augustine on their way to the Masters. We had a very nice dinner at Harry's. Grace also joined us.

Week 3, Thing 5: Was excited to find out that we can sign up for the teacher discount. I am anxious to share these tools with my students. I wish we had better, more reliable computer/internet access.

Wedding book
Week 3, Thing 5: Tried to put the wedding book into the side bar but it's too large. How can it be resized to fit?
Is there a way to include text with an album on a post, or does it have to be two separate posts?
ANSWER: use "Post Options" at the bottom when composing to click "Interpret HTML"

I managed to get started by using my normal methods: clicking buttons and trial and error learning!
