I cannot begin to say how much fun is this! I wish I looked like my voki (lol)
I will use this to motivate my students because we are ready to start presentation soon and they have senioritis...I have a strong feeling they are going to want to make a voki of their own!

Dennison-Reflection

Well I guess I went through a little season. I have enjoyed so much about obtaining a TIS certification. There were so many times I thought "why are we doing this or that" "how will I use this"...funny thing is I think now it is all coming together and I can finally see the big picture. When I am right in the middle of lessons or projects I am overwhelmed or put some pressure on myself. When I finish or step back and look from the outside, well now that is a different story. This journey has taken me to new avenues and I have an entirely different outlook on life. The life as I once knew it is gone. Roller skating down Vermont Avenue, sandlot baseball, and stopping in the middle of a pick up game to change the players to even up the teams...now though I am a digital immigrant (well maybe not so much anymore. The natives, the scary natives ranging from birth to high school. They need so much guidance and yet they do not know it. It is exciting to think about the possibilities. To be a TIS is to empower the immigrants to reach new heights with the natives. The opportunity for relationship while creating excitement in the youth to learn with ethics and skills they do not yet know they have. I am so excited to see this generation flourish and though I wish I could take them outside the way I use to play outside, I can only possibly take them on a virtual tour...lol!

Thing 9 talk about blog with students
The blog I
listened to was a complete series about how to pick your ultimate job that you
would be happy with the rest of your life. This would be a good motivational
series for students who are both getting ready for a career or about to embark
on one.

Thing 16 Twiddla rmorgan

This was fun. I got my daughter to join me for a bit of Tic Tac Toe.  We did it in a few minutes and had fun doing it.  She is hooked on it now.  Sorry about the quality of the pic.


Thing 15 rss rmorgan

To me a RSS is your personal information pipeline that you custom tune for all your individual interests that come to your computer instead you going to their sites when looking for specific information.

Thing 14 Be a reader of blogs rmorgan

http://www.astronomycast.com/

This was the most organized page I think I have ever seen on a blog.  I love astonomy and this looked like a proffesional site made by NASA.  Had some wonderful links and had very high educational value to this blog and website.  The opening page alone was impressive.

Thing 3 Twitter.

I did a search on school testing and got a nice one back on using Ipads for testing media.  Had a few helpful links for Ipad software that can be used via networks or emails to send out test materials.

thing 13 mid mod reflection rmorgan

Never realized how much stuff is out there with little effort to find it.  This section is taking me longer than I ever expected but I have seen several sites that I will go back and visit.  I am making a log of things that look interesting and I could use for myself and other instructors that are quick, ready made, and easy to impliment.   Overall its been alot of work but have been pleasantly suprised with what I have found and started using myself and also what I have passed on to students who are using tools like video and pic production for projects at their other schools.  Some have used alot of the tools to create better web pages and presentations techniques to raise their levels of 21st century learning skills. 

Thing 12 find something new rmorgan

Here is a site I share with teachers and students.  Our jobs in career and tech is to get jobs and resume's are key in getting through the doors.
