I read Steven Anderson's blog for the last 3 weeks, he hasn't posted anything in a while. I went back and looked at some of the older posts on his page though. there is one entitled "Boolify Project". It's actually really neat. It's a search engine for teachers. You drag a puzzle piece to the center of the screen and type in what subject matter you're looking up, then it pulls up all the links for it. He has several other resources on his blog . Check it out!

I found ALEX very user friendly, and easy to navigate from one thing to another. It easily guides you to what you need to do. It has link for lesson plans and even details it down to subject and grade. Wow, this is so great. I will definitely be using this in my future teaching.
You create your own account and this allows you to set up your lesson plans for other teachers to view and critique. This site is also valuable because it allows you to keep up with continuing education opportunities. It's a great site where teachers can learn, find information, and help one another.

Whoo!Hoo! (sorry for me excessive use of exclamation points but I couldn't help myself on this post... I know we discussed this in class Dr. Strange hahaha)
A program that allows high school students to access online courses.. where have you been??? Who is this genius- I want to shake his hand! haha
What a way to get ahead, I would have loved to have had this in my high school. I could have graduated early, started college early, various other things... Oh the possibilities.
I'm so glad the ball is finally rolling. I'm sure there are a few kinks to work out, but I'm just happy we're on the way. Yay! ( ok one more) !

College experience for me has been a mix of things... procrastination, partying ( 6 years ago that is), not studying, studying really hard, and enjoyment. My first two years I managed to make OK grades (B's and C's), but the last year since I've started back, I have managed to make all A's and two B's in the last 4 semesters.
I often find myself in classes though being bored because I don't know why I am listening to someone talk about something I will not use in my classroom... Such as a PE course. Ugh, hate those. I've had a few teachers who have rally inspired me and that I felt wanted me to learn why i was in their classroom and how I was going to need what they were teaching.

Comments 4 kids
I was assigned a little girl named Jessica this week. The kids in her class at St. Pius X, are really involved in drama, singing, and production. They were so cute, and they even used american idol on their movie that they made and posted onto their blog. What fun-- I can't even make a movie yet.. Maybe I should ask them for some pointers... haha

My teacher had a post about where he had gone to a workshop-- and was talking about this lady who had been teaching for 17 years and said a really bizzaro thing, you should read it -- it's also got a pretty funny pic on the site too. check it out

Honestly, I thought this would be incredibly boring-but I wasn't. I was a little uplifted and inspired by it, thanks for this one Dr. Strange :) He talked about wanting to reach our goals. he talked about his goals, and how he set out to achieve them. He says that parents and the people we look up to are who actually get us there.
When you set a goal, work toward it, and succeed at it. You know you've reached the "grown-up" place. haha

I had a little girl to comment on this week named Diana D. She wrote a poem about a lost dog, it kind of made me sad. Well, it did make me sad. The poem was about a dog named Toby. My boyfriend lost a golden retriever named Toby about 3 years ago, and he is still sensitive about him. I'm extremely close to the Golden retriever we have now, his name is Tanner. I get teary eyed just thinking of him not being around...no none to greet me with a kiss at the door, no colar jingling down the hallway, no one following you everywhere or laying all over you on the sofa. I'm going to miss that, I'm going to miss him. He's nine years old, so he doesn't have too much longer, and I don't even want to think about it. He my very first pet. I've never been close to one and never lost one. I'm sad that I won't have him forever, but he has really made my life, the years that he has been in it.
