So, I had big plans for this video. My problem ran into the fact that I couldn't find one program that would do everything I wanted without sacrificing something. Photostory wouldn't let me edit music or record across slides, and it was laborious trying to get one picture of each step I was discussing when SmartRecorder or Jing could do it so smoothly. But then we ran into the quality issue

My tutorial is about how to create a button/logo in Cooltext.com. I use this site in class with my 8th Graders as we learn some html. Click this link to view the tutorial.In case the above link doesn't work the URL is: http://www.screencast.com/t/4X0uGB9gj00.

Well, another class requesting I post to my blog. Ha! It seems like I only have time to post when I'm taking a class. I wonder if after I am done with my masters if I will find time to make any comments.For this assignment, I chose to do a background washout picture of my daughter as they announced her name and she ran through a line up of her teammates at the beginning of her volleyball match

Well, I've decided to call it quits on my web site redesign. First, I decided what colors I wanted in the background, then I had to design some sort of a banner. I used Adobe Photoshop to create my logo and buttons. I created a couple of different template web pages in order to redo some of the pages on the site. Then I started redoing pages. I had to change the template a couple of times as

In this class, ECOMP 6008, I felt going in that I had a pretty good background of a lot of what we were doing. However, I know that you can always learn new stuff, and I was excited to see where this class would take me. I gained a greater understanding of search engines and advanced features, wikis, and blogging. All of which will become part of my classes this year. My biggest problem will

I am very excited about my final project. I was asked to build a website for the Torrington Middle School about 7 years ago. So, I did. It took up massive amounts of time. Sometimes I had an elective with students that helped me out. Some years, I was on my own. Then 3 years ago, quite a few teachers were hinting that they would like to have their own web pages, but did not want to learn

I found one site that has lots of tutorials on HTML, that I could use when I am gone. Again, I don't think it can replace me, because they aren't very interactive. It is mostly reading, but most of the tutorials are short, so a student could read a little and then go try what the author is suggesting. Every now and then I also have a student that would like to go further than what we do in

There are definitely a plethora of online projects to be had out there, especially in the areas of Math, Science, Reading, Writing, and the integration of technology. However, I do not find a lot of them that deal with software, the workings of your computer, etc. Which is what I was trying to find. So, I decided to just pick some projects that could be fun for students to do if/when I need

Creating web pages is something I have a had a little experience in. Little meaning, I'm not great, but I can get the job done. For awhile, I thought that it was something that I wanted to do as a career and took a few classes in it. I also took the classes to help me teach kids as well because I thought it would be something they would think was fun. Well, they do think it is fun and

Today I have been busy making chokecherry syrup and jelly. It takes a lot of time and attention to detail. Just like online classes. And if you don't pay attention to the details, then nothing turns out. Just like technology. It's not that making syrup and jelly are hard, but then usually learning a new technology isn't either, but...if you miss a step or try to fudge something, well...

I have a sister, just 2 years older than I, who is really into horses. She has her own little place outside of town and has been breeding and training quarter horses to be good all around ranch horses and some for cutting. At our county fair, 5 years ago, she started a ranch horse competition. Now ranch horse competitions are not unique, it's just that our county had never hosted one before.

This video either makes me laugh or sad because my girls are grown and past this stage. Depends on my mood.

Why? What do kids get out of it? Have we taken the "it's not nice to hit" so far that now kids feel like they have to do it via email, texting, IMing? Frankly, punching it out on the playground sounds better, and then make them eat lunch together and talk about it. Face to face, man to man, so to speak. Harder to be nasty to someone's face, no matter how you were raised.

Can you believe what is happening in technology these days? How can schools afford to keep up? Any ideas? My feelings are that big businesses are going to have to provide the technology if they want students to come out of high school and college with good backgrounds in technology. You can't improve on the record player if you never used one and don't know what it is. What I mean by that

This is my first attempt at a blog. I shall tell a story when one comes to me, but for now, I will contemplate what I should say and let all my friends know that I now have a blog. Does that make me cool? I have no idea, nor do I care. But as a computer teacher, I feel like I should experience things that kids do. Blogging being one of them. I'm not sure how much kids in this neck of the woods
