This Picture Says it All.....

Well now that we have our first few weeks of the semester in, and our deadlines are just around the corner- that's how I'm feeling right now.  Add work, buying a house, and planning a wedding into the mix and I'll just say I'm really glad I'm in the midst of a long weekend right now! :)  Okay that's the end of my rant.  On another note, I discovered a great tool this week.  Thanks to Dana and Shane who used this tool in their project, Kirsten and I discovered Powtoon and we used it in our root tracing project as well.  It is really a cool tool (and it was fairly easy to use!), and it's something that I think I'd be able to use in the classroom also.   It would definitely be a tool that I could use to keep my kids interested in what they are learning.

Welcome Back!


I am officially welcoming myself back to the blogging world (as you can see my last post was from 2011 when I was taking my very first MAIT class!).  Since then a lot has changed! I'm now working on my 6th MAIT class-yes I'm taking it very slow!! We've also switched from using Wimba as our virtual classroom to Blackboard Collaborate.  Since then I've become very comfortable learning from the comfort of my own couch! :)
