Welcome to my Blog

My blog is a journey through my ELED 3300 Instructional Design and Technology in the Elementary Classroom. My posts will include my thoughts on classroom assignments and how I can incorporate them into my future classroom. I will also include links to interesting articles or websites I have found while completing assignments from this class or others, and am always looking for new cool technology that is multifunctional. I hope you find my links helpful, and take advantage of the web tools available to you to help you stay organized. I know I am not the only one that struggles with that, but I believe collaboration and support many ways, can only help us to become better teachers. Having your own classroom will present you with challenges you can begin to solve by drawing from your own personal experiences or that of others.

I welcome your thoughts and suggestions as well.

Created my first Class website

I 'launched' from my comfort zone again and worked all weekend adding stuff to my class website, Set Sail in 2nd Grade.  I'm afraid I could be addicted.  It was fun for me because I like designing stuff like that, but it became much more involved because I am an obsessed "Picky Pants".

I found so many cool things to add, it was hard to narrow it down.  I still have a few questions, and need to add more content on a couple of pages, but it is getting close! I know what I want to add to the remaining pages, just have to upload it and make it look pretty :)

I am actually pleased that it is due next week, because I will definitely use this site after the project is over.  It cant be a valuable "notebook" that is accessible any place you have the internet, and would be cool to show to potential employers as sort of a preview of talents.  I think I will find my lesson plans I have written for other classes and upload them to the site.  I will also add a few pages for different grade levels, my portaportal, and even this blog that can easily be adapted to whatever class I eventually teach.  I can hide the pages I don't want anyone to see...I could go on and on but I have to get up for an 8:00 class ;)
