Summarizing

I have learned so much in this Ed 420 class. This was a practical, hands-on class. The tools I used and learned to use will service me in a classroom as well as my personal and business life. I consider the Inspiration program a very valuable tool to know for teaching in middle school. As teachers in the 21st century the computer and internet are apart of cutting technology and keeping up with our students as well as the world. The internet for one is totally changing the way curriculum's are being taught and done. The internet is now used as a resource instead of books and newspapers. This class has given me the opportunity to become familiar with new programs and technology. I have enjoyed this class and appreciate Skip's knowledge and support. I loved the intensive class and the connections we made as a class through it. I hope to see you all again in future intensive classes. Til then, Heather

Windy in Delta

Well, I tried numerous times this past week to upload my sense of place video to my blog, but I am still striking out. Hopfully with the suggestions some of you gave me and Skip, I will be able to upload my video this week. The wind has been just howling here. I think winter really hit. When I woke up Sunday morning it was 23 below zero. This was the first time it has been this cold so far this winter. It is currently 2 below with a wind chill of minus 40 because of the wind. The cold just cuts through you. I have learned so much in this class and have expanded by horizons with my new technology tools. Exams are in the next two weeks. So everyone hang on for the ride and good luck. Til next week
