The Magic of One

Check out this SlideShare Presentation:

Ignite

For this assignment I chose to explore the idea that I think about all of the time and the title of my blog. The magic of one intrigues me and I observe many times throughout the day the positive little "ones" that make a difference. I choose to dwell on the positive examples of good in a day rather than the negative even though I know they exist. I was able to upload this project to slideshare on the first try this time and I consider that such a blessing. My hope is the embedding process will go as well.

Huskies A Photo Story

I have been the advisor of the spirit club at my high school for many years. I spend a great deal of time working with the students who call themselves Rachel Rowdies. We talk about the fact that the high school is only as good as the people make it. Tradition has been a big part of the success at North Marion, and even in the tough times we count on it to bring us through. I would use this photo story with my club.

Power Point Story

I enjoy learning about technology, and I am learning a great deal in this class. I am happy with my Power Point, but it is too large to upload to google documents, so I am not sure what I need to do. My concern is the time I spend on this class has caused me to fall behind in my real job. The time I would spend planning and grading for school I spend on this class. I hope this gets better. I am drowning. I do plan to use this Power Point with my students.

Pollock Creation


Well, the Pollock website was interesting. Again, I love the freedom of creativity, but I could not find directions or instructions on this website. If there are options for this site I did not find them. I simply enjoyed creating a design in orange. I wasn't even sure how to stop it from painting and then I remembered one of my favorite lessons in this class which was image capture and that was how I was able to post my creation to this blog. Again, it was a very relaxing assignment and a site students would enjoy.

Mr. Picassohead


I must say that Mr. Picassohead was a very relaxing activity at the end of a very busy day and in the midst of an extremely hectic school year. I really didn't encounter problems or issues, I just found it very enjoyable to tinker with the tools. Sometimes I just need a moment of silence.
