August 13, 2014

Yesterday I finished my tech course and want to share some things I learned. The most exciting thing was how to use a green screen. I can't wait for kids to start using this for projects! Gaming and coding came up a lot and I will admit this is an area I am not comfortable with but hope to learn more this year. I learned how to do a screen cast on the computer and incorporated that into my final project. Kahoolt is a neat game I learned and can't  wait to use it with the students. Overall it was a wonderful course. This was level two and am hoping they will provide a level three next summer for coding and gaming.

August 7th Afternoon

Yet again, a Garageband  song....final one.

August 7th

Last night I played around with GarageBand and posted one of the songs.  This morning I created another one and I have to present it to my class so I am practicing now.

Garage Band


Today was the first day of my technology course.  I learned (kind of) how to use the app GarageBand and here is a song I recorded.

The trip to ECHO was wonderful! I hope your child told you all about it. Here are some pictures to start a conversation in case he or she didn't. 
The Keva block exhibit was a hit! I want a bunch of them for my room.

Here are some videos from yesterday's concert.  For the rest of the year there will be no more math homework.  The students should be reading the eco-mysteries and working on science projects.  We go on our field trip to ECHO next Thursday June 12th.  A permission slip went home.  The last day of school is June 19th and is a half day.
