overwhelmed

I have spent a lot of time on my computer this year but much of it seems to be trying to figure out the new grading and web design systems that out district has put in place. There are changes in technology coming at us at an alarming speed. There never seems to be enough time to get through it all with an enduring understanding of how to make it benefit us. I hope to be able to get deeper into some of the great tools that MILI has to share soon.

Wordle is awesome. I had to try my blog after looking at Sarah's. I think it gives a good represenation of my thoughts. I'm excited to try it with my students.

Thing 6

We studied google docs at class last week and I wanted to jum in and see how I could use them to make my life easier. So...I decided for my team that our team meeting agenda and minutes would be on a google doc. I created the document, sent collaborator invites to all team members, and included a training session to show them how to use it. I know the first time it was introduced to me I was overwhelmed with wondering how I would use it and wondering whether it would make my life easier or more confusing. I am hoping to alleviate some of my team members concerns by having created the document and inviting them to use it so all they need to do is log in and live it a try. We'll see....

I'm back...

I have been trying to be good at blogging but had lost my blog, ugh! I even checked in at class last week and, of course, there my blog showed up so I left class and thought great I've found it onlky to have it dissapear again. Well, now I've found it. It was under a different account. New challenge, add it to my other account so I can manage both of my blogs together. I guess that is a downfall to having more than one account (I didn't know I did). Oh well, live to smile another day!
