Google Forms (Assessment Forms)

Using Google Forms, I created a sign-up form for students who will be presenting a topic of their choice. This assignment requires students to pick a topic, research the information, and present their findings to the class. This Google Form helped me establish a sign-up sheet so that I can have an organized way to maintain the information.



This assignment is in line with NETS-T #2, develop digital-age learning experiences. This formative assessment provided me the opportunity to use the resulting data to inform learning and teaching. I will certainly make good use of Google Forms in my professional and personal life.

Assessment Rubric

You cannot have a chemistry class without doing a few labs. It is a great way to do science instead of just reading about science. Students will complete a chemistry lab will write a lab report for homework. This will give students a chance to really process what they learned in the lab. The lab report will have the following format:

INTRODUCTION and PROCEDURE (4 points)
Introduce the lab and include any important concepts and vocabulary. The procedure should reflect the teacher’s instructions for the lab. The procedure should also include anything the student did in the lab in addition to the teacher’s instructions.

SAFETY (4 points)
The student should explain the safety procedures necessary for this lab even if it was just wearing goggles and cleaning up when they were done. Proper handling and disposing of chemical must be listed.

DATA COLLECTED and CALCULATIONS MADE (4 points)
In this section, the student will list usually in a data table the information collected in the lab. The student will also provided an example calculation and add the calculations to the data table.

RESULTS and CONCLUSION (4 points)
The student will publish the results of the lab even if it is that the results of inconclusive due to error. The student will provide a concise conclusion of the results which will include recommendations for ways to improve the lab.

OVERALL FORMAT (4 points)
Students will turn in the lab report on the due date for full credit. There will be a 1 point deduction for each day late. Grammar and spelling is important and will be corrected. Any errors will also lead to point deduction.

From this format, I created this rubric using the online spreadsheet at Rubistar.


I enjoyed doing this assignment as it was also part of an assignment for PHSC 4431 where I had to write a lesson plan that included a lab. This assignment gave me the opportunity to develop a digital-age learning assessment (NETS-T #2). I could have just used a table in a word document to make a rubric, but the online creator was much easier and more fun to use. I am glad to have this digital tool to help me promote student learning.

Organizing Tools

At the dismay of my 2 children, I am a very organized person. I have learned that staying organized is much easier than getting organized. So if I can find something that well help me get organized, then I know I can stay organized. A classroom webpage may take some work to get organized; however, once it is up and running, it will make staying organized a lot easier. Much like Jim Moulton blogged, "A teacher Web page helps gain teaching time." I am all for making the most out of teaching time. Having high school chemistry students for just 45-50 minutes a day is really not a lot of time. In order to maximize classroom time, I need to make good use of computers and technology outside of the classroom. This is also an easy way to accomplish NETS-T Standard #1 to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity.

Intel Tools: Visual Ranking

I created a list using the Visual Ranking Tool on the Intel website. For a high school chemistry class, I created a list of acids and bases that students need to order from strongest acid to strongest base in accordance with WV CSO SC.O.C.1.5: Students will draw conclusions from a variety of data sources to analyze and interpret systems and models.

The sortable list is found here. I created 3 groups (chem1, chem2, and chem3) with passwords (chemone, chemtwo, and chemthree) using my email (diane.kinney.fsu@gmail.com) as the teacher ID. I assigned all 3 groups to the project. The teams will sort the list by using pH indicator strips to determine pH of each solution and order them from the strongest acid (HCl) to the strongest base (bleach).

This assignment gave me the opportunity to design and develop a digital-age learning experience (NETS-T #2). I incorporated a new digital tool to a relevant learning experience in order to promote student learning. This is an interesting opportunity to provide an alternate assessment to students instead of using a paper and pencil test.

Podcast, Post 2

Using this newfound technology skill of creating podcasts will be advantageous to my high school chemistry classroom. I thoroughly enjoyed making the safety podcast published in my previous post. It was an easy way to teach the message of CSO SC.O.C.1 "implement safe procedures and practices when manipulating equipment, materials, organisms, and models."

I would like to use podcasts in my chemistry classroom. I would implement podcasts into homework assignments so students could review information prior to coming to class. So much of chemistry is hands-on that I do not have a lot of time going over previously taught information.

In the future, I would continue to use podbean to store and publish podcasts. I liked audacity for the recording of my podcasts. And I will most certainly utilize all that NASA IV&V offers to educators especially in the area of podcasting. This was a great opportunity to design and develop a digital-age learning experience. Using this technology rich software, I will be able to encourage all students to become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.

Podcast, Post 1

I did a podcast on safety in the science lab for my high school chemistry classroom.

Here is my script.

Here is my podcast:

Powered by Podbean.com

I attended a workshop at the NASA IV&V facility in Fairmont, WV, to learn about podcasting. From this workshop, I was able to create this podcast and even include some information directly from the International Space Station. I had to download audacity software as well as itunes, but with this software, I had the tools I needed to create this podcast. In liked being able to incorporate multiple audio clips as well as background music. Since not all learners are auditory learners, having a script is helpful to meeting the needs of all students.


This assignment gave me the opportunity to model digital-age work and learning (NETS-T #3). I had to demonstrate fluency in a technology system which included Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and NASA's website for educators. I then transfer ed this current knowledge to a new technology whichh included audacity, podcasts, and podbean.

Prezi

Here is my Prezi presentation on pH. Now say that 10 times fast.

pH on Prezi

What I liked about Prezi the non-linear approach to presentations. What I did not like as the non-linear approach to presentations. No, that is not a typo. Most presentations are linear in that they proceed from one slide to the next in a step-by-step format. Instead of teaching a concept and working out from that center. We start at the beginning and work our way to the end. I do like this non-linear approach, but I am having a hard time because it is new and different. I have spent so much time learning and use linear based methods that this challenges my old way of doing things.

The advantage of Prezi is that you can do things that are not available in Power Point. I also like the feature that allows you to download the Prezi so you do not have to be online to present it. The disadvantage for me is writing math and chemical equations. I know how to use subscript and superscript in Power Point, but Prezi does not have that feature. So I had to create a Power Point slide and snip the image to download into Prezi. I am still waiting for an effective tool for us math geeks which will allow us to use and present long mathematical equations.

This assignment was a great yet hard way for me to model digital-age work and learning (NET-S #3). I will admit that it was hard for me to demonstrate fluency in this new technology (Prezi). I had to transfer what I knew about Power Point and apply it to this new situation in Prezi. It might have been easier if I had no knowledge of Power Point presentations and just jumped into Prezi first. But I am old school and am learning new ways of doing things.

I am having a hard time embedding my Prezi to my blog. I posted a question in Blackboard and hope to have an answer and an embedded image soon....So I figured out that I just need to copy the code from Prezi and paste it into this blog post. Now I have the Prezi on this blog, but I do not like how it shows up.

Get a You Tube Video

Using the software I found here, I was able to download this great video I found on You Tube. First I had to download the clip in Ipod Video (MOV) format and then convert the video to Windows Media Video (WMV) in order to upload it to this blog.

Mr. Duey has some great math raps and has his own website and can be found at Teacher Tube. Since chemistry is math intensive, I will be glad to use this video to help them with fractions.

This assignment helped me to engage in professional growth (NETS-T #5). I had to expand my horizons and not just make a video but download an existing video. I was able to make effective use of existing digital resources in support of student learning.

PhotoStory

Let me tell you about helium....

This assignment gave me another opportunity in developing a digital-age learning experience (NETS-T #2). I had to adapt a relevant learning experience about the element helium into a digital tool to promote student learning. After watching my video, do you now know that helium does not interact with other elements?

Video: Windows Movie Maker

Enjoy this Power Point presentation turned video.

You can also see this video at TeacherTube.

This assignment was a great way to inspire student learning and creativity (NETS-T#1). I was able to model creative and innovative thinking when I created and uploaded this video.

Presentation Games

It was so much fun to make my own Jeopardy game. My family watches Jeopardy every night that we are home, and we feel smart when we actually know the answers. Even my 8 and 11 year old children come up with good answers.

I got so excited to make my own jeopardy game that I made this game before I read through all the instructions and realized that I was suppose to make a game after I found a Power Point Presentation which supports WV CSO's.

So here is the presentation and here is the second jeopardy game I made but this one supports a presentation. I found the presentation at this website that provides free power points on atomic structure. Both the presentation and the game support the following WV CSO's:

SC.O.C.2.6 Students will generate the correct formula and/or name for ionic and molecular compounds.

SC.O.C.2.7 Students will analyze periodic trends in atomic size, ionic size, electronegativity, ionization energy, and electron affinity.

SC.O.C.2.8 Students will predict the type pf bonding that occurs between atoms and characterize the properties of the ionic, covalent, or metallic substances.


I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment as it was a great way to develop a digital age learning experience and assessment (NETS-T #2). I got to adapt a digital tool to promote student learning by creating these Jeopardy games.

PPT Animation 2

Here is an animation about popcorn. Special thanks to google images and The Popcorn Board of graphs and information. Since I cannot create this graphics on my own, I need to reference the sites that provided them. I am promoting good digital citizenship and responsibility (NETS-T #4). In this assignment, I modeled legal use of digital information including respect for copyright and the appropriate documentation of sources.

PPT Animation 1

Watch the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid:

Rxn of ammonia and hydrochloric acid

I do not understand why the embedded slide does not keep the custom animation. You can see it here where it keeps the animation. Even with the challenges in this assignment I am leaning to communicate relevant information and ideas effectively with students and teachers and us students learning to be teachers (NETS-T #3).

Wordle 2.0

Here are my tags from my delicious account snipped, saved, uploaded, and blogged. This digital-age learning experience gave me a new way to adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools such as Wordle to promote student learning and creativity (NETS-T #2).

Ignite Presentaion: Air, what is it?

Check out my new and improved Slideshare presentation:

AIR, what is it?

View more presentations from Diane Kinney.

This prentation is also available in my google docs and at my FSU ftp page where the presentation is in the Ignite format. This emerging digital tool pushed me out of my comfort zone but helped me learn how to transfer current knowledge to new technologies and situations (NETS-T #3).

Embedded Presentation: What Is Air?

Check out my SlideShare Presentation:

What Is Air

View more presentations from Diane Kinney.

I can't believe how easy it is to embed a presentation from slideshare into a blog. This is getting really cool. Learning about and using new technologies is helping me to develop fluency in digital-age work and learning (NETS-T #3).

Power Point, Round 2

Click here for my new presentation in google docs. Click here to see it in slideshare.

So now I discoverd how to embed a link and now will try to embed the presentation onto my blog.

Google Presentation and Google Docs

As I uploaded my Power Point presentation to Google Docs, I learned something. Google does not accept .pptx but it does accept .ppt. So I had to resave my presentation to upload, and here it is.

I also noticed that my other docs were not "shared" properly so I opened them up to share.

Learning and making mistakes is all part of education. In order to model digital-age work and learning, I have to get out of my comfort zone and learn a few new things (NETS-T #3). These assignments have given me the opportunity to model effective use of current digital tools (power point and google docs) to support student success and motivation.

Power Point, Round 1

I am sure no one else is as excited as I am about the Periodic Table of Elements, but I had to prepare a lesson plan which combined the Nature of Science and the history of the Periodic Table. So this presentation fit right into my lesson plan. The slides are not flashy, but it works in conjunction with a hands-on project that the students will be doing throughout the presentation.

The idea behind this lesson is that the Periodic Table which we have today was developed over time as elements were discovered and as scientists began to see trends in the elements. Also, as more elements are discovered, scientist need to fit them into the current table or the table may need to be modified, as it was in the past. It is fascinating to see the progression of understanding and how scientists used trial and error to create this table we use today.

Using Power Point gave me the chance to engage in professional growth and leadership (NETS-T #5). I was able to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning.

Wordle / Delicious Graphic

Here's the address to the word picture I made.

I'm not at my home computer so I will try to jing the image and publish in my blog later.

On a side note, I put this blog and other class activities on my delicious page so that I can access these sites when I am away from my home computer. I'm also finding some neat chemistry websites while doing work for another class. Since I know these sights will be useful when I am a chemistry teacher, I am glad I have a way to save them for later.

Because Wordle is licensed, I had to respect their desire to reference where I was able to create this graphic. I had to model digital citizenship and responsibility as I maintain respect for copyright and appropriate documentation of this resource (NETS-T #4). Even though I used jing to get the wordle file and publish to my blog, I must attribute the image to the wordle website.

Jing 2

This time I needed to do more than just capture an image for the Jing Screencast. I had to make a video. So here is my attempt at making a Jing Screencast where I share with you a technology lesson I learned. You can see the video in my library here. Enjoy!

Once again I got to model digital-age work and learning (NETS-T #3). I am now fluent in Jing and can use this knowledge in other assignments.

Jing Graphic 1 & 2

I was excited to try out the Jing software as I am working on another assignment and was stuck with my current capabilities with technology. I am working on a chemistry lesson plan for the nature of science. I used a graphic that I copied from a lesson plan I found on the web. The original graphic was a square with lines to make a puzzle. I added the text which supports the history of the periodic table timeline that I created. The idea is that the pieces fit together to make a square when given the individual pieces of the puzzle. Each piece represents a new finding that led to the Periodic Table of Elements. The students are required to figure out how the pieces fit together much like scientists had to put the pieces together to create the periodic table that we use today.

I will post the timeline on goggle docs so that if you are interested you can see where I am going with all this. I will try to post my lesson plan once I polish it. Now that I have this new technology up my sleeve, I can really have some fun!

Here is the link to the jing tool. I also made another file that tells the teacher the order of shapes to be used in the lesson. This file is here at.


This assignment was a great way to model digital-age work and learning. I had to develop fluency in Jing and then transfer this knowledge to a new situation (NETS-T #3). Learning snipping and Jing gave me 2 new ways to copy and paste images.

Self Portrait

For fun and for this assignment, I created a self-portrait, Picasso style, at the website, http://www.mrpicassohead.com/create.html.

At first I thought I could just click on the elements I wanted, but that was not working. Then I realized that I need to click and drag. Ah-ha! Maybe I need another cup of coffee to wake up this morning. I was also frustrated with the hair choices since I have longer and fuller hair. So I ended up using about 7 hair pieces to fit together to make a full head of hair. Voila!

So here is the web address to my Picassohead: http://www.mrpicassohead.com/canvas.html?id=6f2f4ae&skin=original. It was a fun assignment.

So without snipping software, I cannot snip the picture and post it to this blog. But I can print the picture, scan it as a jpeg file, and then upload it to the blog. Here goes... It worked, and by scanning it, I was able to add my own signature to my creation.

This assignment was an interesting way to inspire student learning and creativity where I was challenged to model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness (NETS-T #1).

Area Line Bar Pie Scatter

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Average scores overall both in the nation and in West Virginia (WV) were increasing until 2000. Prior to 2000, accommodations were not made for students with disabilities. After 2000 with accommodations being made, scores should parallel the national average, but instead math scores started dropping. As the rest of the country have seen improvement in scores, WV has not. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. As the head of the statewide program, I am requesting money to address the situation. We need to evaluate the current program in WV and compare it to what other states are doing. We cannot be left behind and must help our students improve in math.

This assignment gave me a chance to use an internet tool (Kid Zone) and an internet resource (National Assessment) to use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. I was involved in developing a digital age learning experience (NETS-T #2).

More Graph Types: Area Line Bar Pie Scatter

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The overall trend in math for both West Virginia (WV) and for the nation is increasing. Beginning in 1992, WV had an average score of 215 versus the national score of 219. Over the next ten years steady progress was made and then a significant jump occurred in 2003 where the national average was 234 and WV had an average of 223. One thing to note is that prior to 2000, accommodations were not made for students with disabilities.

The only concern in the data is in 2009 where the average in WV went down. A drop of 3 points from 236 in 2007 to 233 in 2009 may mean there is a problem. Before jumping to conclusions, we need to wait until the data from 2010 is available to determine if this is a downward trend or an anomaly. If the trend continues, math education in WV needs to be reevaluated. As the head of the statewide program, I would like to wait until data from this school year is made available before requesting any additional funds.



This assignment gave me a chance to use an internet tool (Kid Zone) and an internet resource (National Assessment) to use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. I was involved in developing a digital age learning experience (NETS-T #2).

More Graph Types: Line

At google docs, I have 2 new documents discussing WV vs. national average in 4th grade math and 8th grade math.

As much fun Kid Zone was for creating a graph, I am much more comfortable in Microsoft Excel where I have been creating graphs for years.

This is another assignment where I was challenged to design and develop a digital-age learning experience (NETS-T #2). Taking data and formulating a graph that others can understand helps promote student learning. The resources found on computers and on the internet provide tools and resources that help adapt relevant learning experiences.

Graph Something / Venn Diagram

I had fun making this diagram. It can be found here.

This assignment challenged me to design a digital-age learning experienced. I had to develop a relevant learning experience (research of expenditure) by incorporating a digital resource (Crappy Graphics website) to promote learning and creativity (NETS-T #2)).

Draw Something

I admit that I am more left-brained than right-brained. So even when I get the chance to draw something, it is not very creative. I drew using Microsoft Paint again. I wanted to make a diagram showing what we have learned thus far with the corresponding website address. The spray paint option is as creative as I get. Although, I did have fun spray painting the background!

I used Paint again, but this time I saved it as a .jpeg file. The file itself is 162 KB which a lot smaller than last time when I saved it as a .bit which was 817 KB.

Using software like Microsoft Paint help help my customize learning activities to address different learning styles and abilities. This digital-age learning experience will help me to incorporate contemporary tools and resources to maximize learning (NETS-T #2).

Snip, Snip, Snip, Part 2

Since I need to not just learn how to snip but also edit a snip, I am editing my original snip. The first thing I wanted to do was get rid of the red outline. It looks like a preschooler did the snip. So once I got just the snip logo, I could have a little fun with some of the other editing tools. My favorite was the flip horizontal. It makes for a nifty mirror image of the original.

Once again, I get the chance to model more digital-age work and learning. This assignment helped me to facilitate effective use of current tools such as snipping software (NETS-T #3). In the future, I can use tools like this to evaluate and use information resources to support research and learning.

Desktop Graphics using Paint

For fun, I made a graphic depicting the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid. The reaction yields ammonium and chlorine and is a popular weak-base strong-acid titration. So using the Paint software on my computer, I drew this diagram.

I used Paint because I had the software already on my computer and because it was similar to one of the first software programs I ever used back when my family purchased an Apple 2e. I have not played with Paint since then so it was fun to see how much I remember from 25 years ago. Not much has changed, as far as I remember, but it took some time to get use to the program again. Why is the fill with color button right next to the eraser button? I repeatedly filled with color when I was trying to erase. So frustrating!

Paint defaults to save as a .bmp file which what I did. It can also save as a .jpb, .gif, .tif, and .png. The file I made is 817 KB. That seems pretty large. When I double click on the file, it automatically opens in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. If I want to alter the file, I need to open Paint and then retrieve the file.

I can see how beneficial desktop graphics can be to me as a chemistry teacher. It has always been a struggle to illustrate chemical equations using traditional software programs. Does anyone else know how to made the 2 in H2O smaller? I can do it in a word document but not in this blog.

So instead when using Paint, I can better illustrate simple and more complex chemical equations. If the software is available in the school, this would make a great assignment for students to illustrate the chemical process they are experiencing in the laboratory. Students get the chance to demonstrate fluency in this technological system. I was able to transfer current knowledge
(reaction of an acid and an base) to this new technology (Microsoft Paint). Both teacher and student can model this digital-age learning (NETS-T #3).

I also need to try out some other desktop graphic software. Since my computer is a dinosaur with Windows XP, I am sure there are other more advanced programs that I could try. There may even be one that is more chemistry friendly.

P.S. After the virus incident from the snipping software, I now have a new laptop with Windows 7. This will give me the chance to try some of these more advance programs as I design and develop even more digital-age learning experiences (NETS-T #2).

Snip, Snip, Snip, Part 1

Since I am old school with Windows XP, I had to download software to get snippy. Thanks to classmate Charity Sypolt who had already encountered the same issue, I was able to go to this website to get the snippy software. I am now able to click on the scissor icon that appears at the bottom right hand corner of my computer screen to start snipping. So I went ahead snipped the Snippy logo from the snippy software. It was really a snap!

***Do not use this website as soon after I did this assignment, I got a virus on my computer. Now I have a new laptop with Windows 7 which includes snipping software.

This assignment taught me how I can customize and personalize learning activities to address the varying learning styles of students (NETS-T #2). I also learned that it is hard to advocate legal and safe use of digital information and technology (NETS-T #4). The website I used to download software is not safe websites, but I had not way of knowing that when I did this assignment.

Images: Screen Print 2

I downloaded this diagram of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) from another one of my chemistry websites. Next I cropped the diagram and added a title using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Finally I uploaded the diagram to my blog. The file is 125 KB and is a .png file. I am more familiar with .jpg files so this was out of my comfort zone.

This assignment furthers my understanding of designing and developing digital-age learning experiences. I had to incorporate a digital resource in hopes that it will promote learning and creativity (NETS-T #2) Honestly, I think this diagram of ethanol looks like a dog with a red head and and big white nose, but at least that thought will help me to remember this diagram.

Images: Screen Print 2

The Periodic Table of Elements is used often in a high school chemistry class. This picture from one of my chemistry websites is a good visual aid. I am beginning to use these digital-age learning experiences to enrich the learning environment of my high school chemistry classroom. These new technologies will help provide students with different formats to learn and understand new content (NETS-T #2).

After watching the YouTube video on social bookmarking....

1) Describe the 3 steps to recommend in the film to get started social bookmarking?
First, go to de.li.cious to register and add buttons to your browser.
Second, bookmark the websites that I like and will use. It is best to use tags to make the storage and retrieval more user friendly.
Third, be social. Other teachers and students can see the sites I use and bookmark. It is a way to share with others the great websites I have found. I can communicate this relevant information more effectively with students and with other teachers by using this digital format (NETS-T #3).

2) Describe is Web 2.0, and how it differs from previous stages of the web?
At first I was looking for Web 2.0 software. Ugh, is this something else I need to buy? After reading the preface to Web 2.0 for Schools, I realize that Web 2.0 is not a software but a paradigm shift in the way we use the internet. It is a new way of using, sharing, and connecting through websites. In the past, email is what connected people on the web. Now people can connect to individuals or within groups using websites. This is another way to communicate relevant information and ideas to other people. This digital-age media is an excellent way to share ideas and information as well as collaborate with others to support student interaction. (NETS-T #3).

3) What is social bookmarking and what advantages does social bookmarking offer that traditional storage and retrieval of web sites does not?
Traditional storage and retrieval methods benefit me on my own computer. I have my favorite websites tagged for personal use. Social bookmarking benefits others as they can retrieve the same websites I have found to be useful. Social bookmarking helps me as I do not have a laptop. As I go from my home computer to the computers at school, I do not have remember or write down all those nifty websites. I can just go to delicious and retrieved them there. Great! I can share these websites with other people as I use this digital resource (NETS-T #3).

"Social bookmarking sites that a world of chaos and make it orderly."

Get a Delicious Account

At my delicious page, I can store and retrieve websites that are helpful to me as a chemistry teacher. The benefit of using a Delicious account instead of the my favorites feature on my home computer is that I can access these websites easily when I am not at home. I can also easily share this websites with other teachers and students so that collaborate with them using this digital tool. This resource will help support student success and innovation. As a teacher, I can model digital-age work and learning when I utilize my Delicious page (NETS-T #3).

Get an Idea

SAFETY

Safety is paramount in a chemistry lab. Using a variety of media, I can instill in my students safe lab procedures. Hopefully, this will help them understand and internalize the need for safety in chemistry lab. This assignment will help me as I reflect on professional practices to make effective use of digital tools and resources to support student learning. Teaching and encouraging safety is more than just posting safety posters on the wall. Students need to see it, hear it, understand it, and remember it. Using digital tools and resources will help me do just that.

Publish a Document Online

I posted my resume here. This assignment helped me learnt how to adapt a previous learning experience (writing my resume) by incorporating it into a digital resource (google docs). This learning supports NETS-T #2, "Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments."

All this technology is amazing. As hard as it is to learn, I am glad someone is making me learn it so that I have the ability to use it.

Get a Blog/Get an Gmail Account

Welcome to my blog for EDUC 6305. I will have lots more to post as the class progresses, but for now, I have my own blog.

This blog supports NETS-T (National Educational Technology Standards) by fascinating and inspiring student learning and creativity. I as the student will promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. The power point presentations, wordle graphis, and google documents I create and publish on this blog will demonstrate this creative and innovative thinking.
