March 4, 2009

After posting my wiki site to the google document for STEP, I'm curious about all the google email features I'm not using because I don't know how to use them. Where can I find more information about the new features of google mail?

On another note, I love ELMO and can't get enough of it. I use it almost every day in class and the two of us are connected at the hip :) I'm actually surprised I got along so well without him in my life. We are a match made in heaven and I would be lost without him. I am able to do so many more things in my classroom and communicate so much better with my students through ELMO. Thank you STEP!!!

As for the digital camera, I'm so excited to have it but at a bit of a loss for how to use it right now. There were several things in the beginning of the year that would have been great to use it for, but now right now. As I'm typing, I'm thinking about how we're about to get into our genetics unit. Perhaps I can have the students take pictures of different traits that they each have, then somehow predict which traits are recessive or dominate based on their frequency in the class. That could work.

Time for bed.
