Challenge #8

Well, I created a Google Docs account to upload a powerpoint I use on the first day of class.

It wasn't too difficult after I found the SHARE button. This would be pretty cool to use if I was organized enough to have each lesson saved on powerpoint, or better yet, Notebook software.

Challenge #7

Well, that's pretty helpful... I haven't heard of a site like this before now.  I wish I had been familiar with this site when doing research for my masters paper.  I  don't plan to do a lot of research again any time soon :), but I can see that it could be helpful for students who are writing papers for their classes.

Challenge #6 Comments

I found a useful reference page on .

This was a very easy challenge for me.  The buttons needed to post to facebook or embed in my blog are right there on the page.  The hardest part was finding something that I thought everyone else would find interesting, and how could I go wrong with a formula sheet for Algebra 2!  What an easy way to post information for students...

I will probably use this site again. I see that some curriculum companies are posting solutions manuals on this site too.  They are taking advantage of the money savings too.

One thing that I need to do is create a folder in my bookmarks devoted to all of the neat sites we are learning about in the web 2.0 challenge.

Challenge #5

I am a real big fan of reality TV, and Jon and Kate Plus 8 is one of Madison's favorite shows, but enough drama already! Now he wants to quit the show completely...

Warmer Weather

With the temperature dropping down to freezing this week, I was thinking about the travels to the lake this summer and came across these pictures of the kids from Labor Day weekend.  Even though it was a cloudy day, we had to get in a last day of tubing.  Eight months until lake season returns! 

(Can you tell fall and winter are not my favorite seasons?)

  

Challenge #5 ???

Since this has been such a quiet week here at Lincoln (said dripping with sarcasm), I have been waiting for the next assignment in the web 2.0 challenge.  So come on Reynolds, bring on the next challenge!
