right now I am struggling with a slow computer (OMG) and 5 nephews (under the age of 6) in the same room with me. There is no doing homework here. I got caught up on my network last week before leaving. I am following about 6 tech sites for smartboard users and they deal alot with elementary school. Math was a big subject this week and English is always popular. Where is the Science? I did find Jag Galaxy that is very intersting and fun.
I finally joined the Higher level group on Smartboard Revolution. Sounds like they are more for colleges but it should be useful for HS. I did find a great resource created by Dana Huff. I have been checking out each page as I find time. SB revolution always has some good info, I found Bruce White's rules for effective use of the smartboard. I also learned how to keep my tool bar on the smartboard from defaulitng. I had this problem last year but didn't know how to fix it.
This week I have posted a few things to specific twitter followers. I think maybe Twitter may work, time will tell.
I will not be home until Saturday this week so my power point will not show up until Sunday. All my files are home. And as one sister-in-law asked "how are you getting anything done?" Well not very well. the computer already froze twice, losing all my stuff. I think having 8 tabs open it rough on the system :0 and my personal computer will not keep the wireless connection. Oh well. I am going to try to enjoy the rest of the vacation and play catch up on the weekend.

Five kids under the age of six in one room? Doesn't sound like summer vacation to me.
ReplyDeleteThe Jag Galaxy is a fun site. Thanks for sharing it.
