The Whole Process

The whole process of this whole project has been stressful to say the least. From the beginning I knew this was going to be hard. I mean I messed up the project proposal! I thing that is what threw me off from the start of this whole project. Since I didn't completely understand what I had to do, I was reluctant to do it.  I do have a mac book and I guess I am up to date on the whole world of technology, but using the apps on my computer such as iMovie and Garage were so hard for me. They were extremely difficult to figure out. But, I have to say, once I figured out how to use everything, I became obsessed with both applications. All I want to do is make movies now and edit them with different transitions and add text and audio. It is so cool! I am not completely finished with the project yet, but I feel a lot better than I did before! I am definitely less stressed than I was before and am excited to see the final products!

I really like this one. I like how this one applies to the parents of the students and the teacher gives details of what they did in class. I also liked how she took actual pictures from the stuff she does in class and the posters she uses in class so the parents can see what heir children are doing.

I really wanted to look at both elementary blogs and high school, but i could not find an high school blogs. Although i was disappointed in that, i was very happy with all the elementary blogs i found!

Helpful websites for the classroom

While researching websites for the other day that will be helpful to the class, I came across this one:
http://www.discoveryeducation.com/teachers/
I found this website incredibly useful because it offered many information and resources for teachers. It offers lesson plans for specific grades as well as lesson plans for specific subject matter. I really enjoyed looking at this website because it made me excited about being a teacher and using activities like the ones on the website in the actual classroom! All the activities that were offered all seemed so fun and helpful to the students. Even the lesson plans offered were so interactive and helpful. The whole thing just got me very excited for becoming a teacher.
