Have now had a little down time since our five days spent colloborating with the teachers in Fort Smith and getting to better-know my five peers who will also share the experience of 1:1 computers this fall at Batesville High School. Took a little break from technology to…
- Slept for about ten hours. We spent some intense, long, exciting days “playing” with technology.
- Finished James Patterson’s Sail, the novel that helped me get through a major storm on Friday!
- Read James Patterson’s Judge & Jury while re-acquainting myself with my comfy recliner.
- Bought okra plants and a pool at Wal-Mart…shhh, the kids think the pool is just for them!
- Took a nap.
- Helped plant those okra plants. Now know I did not purchase enough. Have to have two complete rows! (By the way, girls, remember that bean-picking party I mentioned?!)
- Am now using technology again…have recovered from my “maxed out” level.
While Twittering…or Tweeting as I have also heard it called…I came across a link posted by Bud the Teacher to Webspiration: a tool I will now weave into my lesson plans for the fall, a great tool for prewriting/planning papers and projects. Have I mentioned how much I like it?!
Okay…enough technology for a few hours…now have to help David Baldacci solve some sort of crime in The Whole Truth. By the way, I just noted Baldacci’s interest and support of “literacy efforts across America.”
- Wish You Well Foundation
- Feeding Mind and Soul: maybe a project for Beta Club or English National Honors Society?
Ah, another reason to support the reading of David Baldacci!
