Above+and+Beyond

8/11/13: Before the semester has even started, I have been learning how to use this Wiki page all on my own. I have created my home page (complete with a picture and link already), created my above and beyond page, and changed some settings and themes to make my Wiki personalized to me.

Photos and Photo Editing Page: There is an extra list from Scholastic's website on "100 Ways to Use Digital Cameras in a Classroom." It is not an article, but it is a fairly extensive/important list on how to use a camera in your classroom. I also created a sample lesson plan to use at the beginning of the year to assist in ways to use photos and editing in the classroom, rather than just telling why I believe photos are beneficial in the classroom.

Picture This Project: On this page, I edited the three photos we were supposed to edit. Then, I created 3 fotobabbles of edited photos explaining some of the things that are important in my life. I also created a Tagxedo on my page, using words that I describe myself as.

Talking Graphics Page: In the thoughts section, I created an extra Voki that you could use in the classroom. There is a description on the page of how a Voki could be used as a "Talking Biography." Kids could also create one about themselves if they were learning about biographies in class.

9/25/13: I was a presenter for a webinar for the American Council of Snowmobile Associations. The webinar was titled "[|How to get Youth Invovled and Using 'Experienced Snowmobilers' as Mentors]." It was such a great experience, and it was awesome knowing that there was people from Canada that "attended" the webinar.

Desktop Publishing Page: I uploaded a brochure that I did in my Educational Foundations class.
