Hi guys, I was messing around with my netbook tonight and came across this video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtDPdn_oG7Y Thought you might enjoy it. The second video is a brief overview of the Habits of Highly Effective People. I had heard of this, but wasn't very sure what all it entailed, this video was quite informative http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLXsiIXdLR0 Finally, for those who haven't see it, here's a link to the Last Lecture given by Randy Pausch. Break out the Kleenex on this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo Take care! Jenny

Hi everyone, I downloaded the other optional download - Jing. It is really neat. It allows you to capture images and videos on your screen. It would be great for giving tutorials or getting information across to others. From what I can see of what I have played around with so far, it looks worth downloading! Have a good weekend! megan

Just a little quote I thought was worth sharing: "Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing." ~Quincy Jones, as quoted in //Bits and Pieces Megan//

==//**How are changes in schedule, administration decisions, and PDE regulations impacting arts instruction and what practical applications and plans will be necessary for the continued recognition of essential and meaningful arts instruction as traditionally provided by certified arts educators?**//==

3/5/2010 - brainstorming on how we will make our presentation

Criteria "The Marriage of Ideas" Quotes Purple something new something old chart journal entry favorite website sketch, piece of music, picture - artifact

chutes and ladders

candy land

metaphor

rap our quotes to a hip hop beat

the ever recurring theme of interpretive dance

what is our thread? roller coaster, train, space, house of cards, house of mirrors, journey, community of cards, sharing is good

WE HAVE DECIDED OUR PRESENTATION WILL BE DONE ON PREZI.

CRITERIA: It must refer back to our line of inquiry. It must show evidence of how it impacts our students.

Just because something is small doesn't mean it isn't profound. Everyone contributes an artifact - visual, audio, etc. Include what you shared and in what way Student artifact/teacher artifact - How the artifact has been affecting us and how we have used it to affect our students. Quote Something Purple

Everyone constructs their own Prezi by **/**/2010. Send to James or whoever we decide once we have it all together. Said person will put everything together.
