Today was an interesting day. I was very frustrated because of technical problems. Not all of the answers for the crossword was in the article and the quiz marked you down if you answered the same question wrong more than once while trying to figure out the right answer!

However, it was a good review of the copyright laws. I've already been introduced to the whole copyright issue in a different class. Its amazing how easy it is to violate copyright laws. It is definitely an important issue!

This week we got to tour and use the YETC lab. It was really fun to be able to see all of the programs that we have available to use at no cost! The astrological programs are really interesting to me because I love constellations! I also learned that we have video editing available for us to use! That will be very good to have for when I just need clips of videos or music. Another thing that will help and be useful is that we have access to a lot of the materials online. Hurray for the YETC!

LeSsOn PlAn

I'm not really sure what all I'm suppose to write about my lesson plan but I am planning on doing a 5th grade nutrition lesson. It is titled "Evaluating your Eating Habits" and found on http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=957

UEA Page

I think that the UEA page that we created can eventually really help us. It will be a way that we can connect with other teachers be able to share ideas. It can be a gateway to a lot of new and exciting ideas that can be used in the classroom! Here is the url for my UEA page: http://my.uen.org/212806

Good job on all the presentations so far!

here i go with a new experience of blogging... we'll see how it pans out. i'm suppose to have a class reflection for today. it was fun setting up my blog, and customizing it. i'm not sure how i'll feel about actually writing blogs. i think that blogging could be good for students to help them with a lot of different aspects of life. obviously their keyboarding skills will improve and they will get used to using technology and being able to make things personal. i do know that i have a bad habit of not using capitalization and sometime punctuation but i will work on that so i will not be a bad influence on my students. but it is kind of hard when i'm just typing and not writing anything official.
