PowerPoint Presentation

I have prepared a powerpoint presentation about a concept called Touch Math.  I work with special education children and this concept is AWESOME.  Every child is successful at learning to count when they learn this concept.

Jing 2

Well, I've been playing with this for a couple days now.  I hope I have it figured out.  It sure is hard to teach an old dog new tricks . . . but I'm trying. 

I decided to do a presentation on "How to Set Up a GMail account."  I even used the microphone capabilities of my web cam.  My document name is:  https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1wR-jWwmPyB9TWKFhOSdSxtAU4X6ac0rrrtYV631n6sc&hl=en.  You can see my document at this link. 


Here is my Jing link:  http://www.screencast.com/users/msmichelle0110/folders/Jing/media/33f33b7a-d768-4680-9188-66a6c42bd516

I've tested both links and they appear to be working.  I even shared these documents with everyone so hopefully you can see them.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Searching for Followers

I am searching for Followers to help me with this class. I assumed, we all know what happens when we assume, that once the blog was created for this class that all of the students were automatically followers.  I think I was wrong.  After digging through the Followers application, I found that we have to invite followers.  Unfortunately, I was not able to locate many Gmail addressess through the Dicsussion Board.

Thanks

I think I added Google Friend Connect to my blog. I'm not sure I did this correct. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Google Drawing

I think I figured out how to get into the Drawing tool.  I've been working on a document for at least 2 hours & am having a hard time getting things to copy, paste, stay where I put them.  But I'm trying.  I have the basic concept of what to do but I'm must be making it harder than what it is because it is not going smoothly.

Google Drawing

I'm finding the assignments in this class frustrating.  I'm having to install programs on my computer that I am not familiar with & then I still can't get the programs to work right.  I attempted to do the Google Drawing assignment.  Again, my computer browser does not support Google drawings & I have to install Google Chrome.  Can all of the things we install for this class be removed?

Self Assessment

While taking the Self Assessment I came to realize that I THOUGHT I was computer "semi-intelligent" but came to the fast realization that I AM NOT computer smart at all.  There is a huge variety of programs & tools that can be used but I do not know how to use them and get easily frustrated when trying to learn how to use them.

Glogster

I did the Glogster exercise.  My account info. is msmichelle0110.glogster.com/msmichelle0110 fsu glog.

Learning Outcomes: These are the test questions related to this activity.




What is glog? It appears that a Glog is the same as a blog.

How might you use a glog in your class? i will be working with younger children so I probably will not use the glog function with them.  If I worked with older children, Glog could be used as an incentive for older kids.

What ISTE NETS T does the use of Glogster most likely correspond with in your opinion?

What is the problem (if any) with this program?
I did not like the fact that you have to save everytime you change 1 thing.

Picaso drawing

This was a fun activity.  I only encountered a couple problems but was able to figured them out quickly.  I had trouble with the color feature.  I finally figured out that to change color you click on the picture you want to color & then click on the art easle.  I also wanted to delte something - I right clicked on the item & delete was not the option; however, click on the tiem to be dleted and then in the bottorm right corner to hit the trash can & the itme you have selected will be gone.

Here is the picaso abstract that I created.  Here is the link. 

My Learning Style

I took this test & the results are right on.  I am a hands on learner.  I didn't know this was called Kinesthetic learning.  I am a visual, hands on learner.  I do not do well with lectures or exams.  It says that I need to understand things - this is also very true for me.

Frustration with Snipping Tools

I cannot get Snipping Tool to copy!  I was able to send the snipping info in an email. 

Finally Snipping Tool

I got Snipping Tool to come up.  I was able to encircle something to snip.  I saved it as 1st Snipping Tool.  Copied it.  But, I cannot paste it.  I have been working on this for days & I cannot get it to work.  I also have no volume on any of my links for these class activities & this is making things difficult for me.

TPack

I have started working on the Google Doc, TPack assignment.  I saved & closed the document.  When I created this document I shared the document so I hope that it automatically updates to whoever has decided to look at it.

Video Thread Activity

I found the video thread activity interesting. This is the first time that I have used a web cam and now I can see how families find it to be a fantastic way to communicate with loved ones who are far away.

Voice thread is a way to relate your comments, thoughts or opinions on some form of media communication. This function could benefit any business because it gives the viewer an opportunity to provide immediate feedback and/or revisions to a document.

Google Reader

A blog syndication is using your blog's feed to deliver your blog’s content to other blogs. So, my understanding of this statement is, by putting information in our blog and providing a link to our blog, that our information is shared with others. Is this right? Or am I totally confused?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.

Resume Activity

Here is my attempt at creating a resume in Google Docs. I hope I did this link connection right.

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AV99978j-aLLZHZyd216dF8wZDQyc3NkanY&hl=en

It doesn't have the name of my document in it. Is this right? I tested it - had to copy it & paste it but my resume does come up.
