Well, I am heading for Montana tomorrow. I will be without internet for ten days. What a shock that will be to my system. Noel, I went to your message board on the McGrath website. Go Noel Go! People who are informed and are knowledgeable are a hugh asset to change and reform. School starts here in Delta very soon. We have also had our first frost. So my flowers were not to happy. We are also picking blueberries here. Well, hello to all. Til later, Heather

I am so sorry this has taken me awhile to post. Delta has been out of internet since Thursday when it went down. I enjoyed this technology class very much. Erica, I was so sad I did not get to tell you good-bye. I enjoyed our time together. This class opened up a whole new world for me in the area of technology. I loved the movie project. I showed the movie I had made in class at church,and they loved it. Skip you made the class enjoyable,and it was very refreshing. I will definitely use Inspiration, Power point, and the other programs. I didn't even know there were those programs on my computer. Thanks for the great time every one and especially all the laughs from Betty.

Here are some photos of my airplane flight across the Tanana River in Delta Junction.
It was a breathtaking flight.

Inspiration & Power Point

As a teacher you are constantly looking for resources and materials to help you in your teaching. When I was in 4th grade I remember the grueling process of learning how to do outlines. Another area that I had an enormously hard time was with making my brain storming into an outline. I have never been a fan of brainstorming because I have never been able to use it. With Inspiration I was able to finally see how my brainstorming ideas became an outline. I can definitely see how this tool would help students in brainstorming and then taking their ideas and creating an outline. I also think that power point is a wonderful visual aid. I am not as sold on it as the Inspiration program.

Alaskan Heather

Welcome to my blog spot. This is a first for blogging for me. I am twenty-eight years old and I live in the little town of Delta Junction. I am going to school to get my teaching certification in elementary education and specializing in Junior High math. I work full time as a accountant doing books for three different companies. I primarily do books for a construction company. On the weekends I work with a special needs little girl. This is very fulfilling, and I have learned so much. I hope to have my AA by this December and continue on to get my BA. I was wondering if anyone knew of any great resource sites for teachers. One I know is www.dlkt-kids.com This is a wonderful site.
