Jing Presentation of X-Mind

X-Mind 1st Attempt

The jury is still out on this one...I think that you have to subscribe to the pro version to access the interactive tools. It may work differently from school as we normally would be working interactively mapping with students...but from home the free version does not, as far as I can tell.

Getting Down to Business

Class on Wednesday night was fun. I think that I'm with Jackie...I barely have time for my 1st life right now let alone trying to create a second virtual one. I look forward to having some time to play. This seems like a fun world to explore. Anywhere that I can get a new outfit without it costing actual $$$ is a place I love to be!!!
My plan today is to do some work on my paper by organizing all of my information from all of the different locations I have stored it. I too usually like to have hard copies that I go through and highlight and sticky note...so this will be a new experience for me too.
Had my first interview on Thursday for a VP job. I will find out Tuesday night following the School Board meeting whether I was successful or not...so I'm on pins and needles this weekend in anticipation.
Also finishing up report cards this weekend too. Wow! June is such a busy month. I'm looking forward to a well deserved summer vacation. Talk to everyone tomorrow afternoon.

Wiki Success

Well with Glen's help I was able to post both my empty Wikispace and PikiWiki on my Blog. I have been fiddling around with Jing tonight but still don't have anything worth posting so will try again tomorrow when I'm fresh.

Challenges of ICt in the Classroom

Sorry to have missed class yesterday. I have been playing around with Mindmeister this morning and am excited about this organizational tool. Can someone tell me how you link a video into your Blog? I have found the video feed in but that is only attaching the U Tube videos and I wanted to attach some of the ICT stuff the kids have been doing at school to share.

Mindmap of Course Content to date

Well, one week in and so far so good. I haven't really done much work with Google applications yet so feel like I am learning some new "stuff." This is my first experience with blogging so I'm excited about that.

I work primarily with Early Years students right now so am always trying to find a way to make these ICT applications work for them with their very early developing skills. Many of my students do now have access to computers at home so school is their only exposure so far. We have been doing some with with Photostory and Moviemaker and just this year have gained access to Mimio's in some of our classrooms. Our school division has also installed LCD projectors in all EY classrooms as they feel that teachers can meet all of their students ICT outcomes with them. I am always looking for good sites that we can use with our students, using the LCD and Mimio technology.
