That's how I'm feeling right now. Somehow, I spaced on the blog and am just reading all the thoughtful posts you guys have up there. I guess it's time to put my two cents (if it's really worth THAT much) in. First of all, I was really impressed with all of the comments Ronlyn had about our portfolios and felt proud for our team. Did you really think I would look up my comments and not read everything about everyone elses? That just wouldn't be me :) But, I was expecting that we were behind based on the mass email she sent out. In reality, it appears we are right on track with some very minor edits to our pages. Go STEPPERS!!!
On another note, I'm hoping that Dawn's techno problems get resolved quickly as I also use ELMO every day and would feel a little lost without him at this point in my teaching.
Lastly, I was unable to attend trainings for podcasting and am trying to navigate my way through the process. What it seems to me thus far is that we are using the site www.voicethread.com to create two voicethreads that we can post onto our wiki. I hope that's right, if someone could let me know that would be great. I've checked around the site and am excited to try it our when I have a little more time. The questions that have come up, but hopefully will resolve once I test it out are 1) how do you do a podcast that doesn't have extra files with it but just has my voice recorded, and 2) if you upload a powerpoint presentation, will it open each slide for you to make comments on? I think if I spend a little time with the program these things will become clearer.
OK, that's all for now. It's 11:23 p.m. and I'm just winding down from night school, ate 1/2 bag of m&m's and am ready for bed. See you all manana!!! Thanks to STEP program for my new microphones/headset thingamaginees!!!
