Update...

May 4, 2009

I have not written in a while because I have not had anything new to say. Today I begin using my wiki to help my students review for the Government HSA. I am eager to see how all of the students respond to the different resources.

I have been having trouble with www.voicethread.com recently. When I attempt to record audio, the site often is inconsistent with picking up my speech. I have uploaded some commentaries using Audacity, though I am unable to use the scribbling application when I do this. I know it is not just my computer, rather I have tried Voicethread.com with a few different computers and it is definitely a problem with their site.

This morning I applied for this Dream Classroom contest. Carol Fraser sent out an email notifying us about it, and I spent some time last night working on the essay. It was hard keeping the essay under 200 words, but I am pleased with my final product. It would be great to win all a smartboard and other great tech tools.
