Partay!!

Well we didn't really do anything in class today except for the party. It was fun and boy am I learning fast what it's like to be el presidente. Seems the only thing that everyone has is an opinion and the only thing that everyone agrees on is that stuff needs to change :) Funny how it works out like that.
I think the party went well and we got a pretty good representation of the major there - there are a few things I want to do differently but I'll save that for our little meeting on monday . . .

Class


I thought class was fun today - mainly because I was laughing at everyone get all up and stressed out about everything. I think that we all knew all along that we needed a rubric, I just didn't understand why it took so much talking and arguing to get it done - funny times. Anyway Today I want to blog about design - I have started working for cloverlogos.com doing all their design work (for pay - not very much but pay none the less) and it's fun to get back into it again. I think it's a nice way to always get the creative juices flowing - I just did two logos/headers for gadgetgiftstore.com and they are pretty sweet if I do say so myself. I still got it - I can manage my way around photoshop and illustrator although not nearly as well as I used to be able to - apparently it's not one of those things like riding a bike that just comes right back, but I was able to manage. Take a look. . .

Technology Rich Lesson Plans

This was fun - it was cool to start actually working on a project - checking out the resources available, exploring different possibilities, etc. I think that next time you teach this class you may want to have them actually do this at the beginning because this is what's exciting. I know that you need to talk about all the other stuff as well, but maybe the order could just be tweaked a little to build up the excitement at the very beginning.
One other thing - I never knew I would be so attached to del.icio.us - I used it a ton while I wa searching for resources for my lesson. I was talking with someone in my ward who is a sec ed major and she was telling about how there are tons of del.icio.us accounts out there for teachers that she uses all the time while she's getting her lesson plans ready - what a great idea. It's all about collaboration!
