Learning and Growing

The title says it all! I have been learning and growing so much over the last five weeks that at times I have wondered if I would survive. I love learning and always have but I think these last few weeks have been a HUGE stretch. I started this process thinking that "I can definitely do this", then moved into the "can I do this?" stage, stopped for a while at the "why am I doing this?" point, and have now ended up at the "I can't believe I did this!" stage.  It has been rewarding, challenging, insane and above all it has made me see that "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." 

Finally!

I finally finished my webquest! What a process. I would hope that someday I can use something like this but I have to be honest, I'm not sure how I would use this in a SpEd class. Any ideas? We don't assign homework and our time is so limited (about 20-30 min per subject). It was a challenge but I can see how it would be a great tool for a general ed class.

Making Progress

So, I feel like I am starting to catch up. I still have many things to do but the light is at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't because I have died trying to unbury myself from this homework overload.

Feeling a bit lost!

I am supposed to share about bookmarking tomorrow but I am still trying to figure it out myself! I went to delicious.com and imported my bookmarks from favorites so I at least made some progress, but still not real sure what else to do. I guess I will have to play around with it a bit more. I do like the convienence of having my bookmarks available to me wherever I am regardless of what computer I am on. So I guess I will keep diving in to see what I can discover, but if you don't see me for a while please send someone to rescue me !!!

This is a great FREE educational game site that I found. I use it with my students as a reward for good behavior and they would rather play these games than miniclips!
Some of their favorites are the Granny Prix and the Popcorn game. Have fun!

Another Day

Well, I had a nice weekend. Had some fun, did some homework, went to church. Monday I pulled a 12 hour homework catch up/study session and boy am I tired! I love school but sometimes I wish I had taken a summer break. So much to do and so little time. Oh well, it is another day and another opportunity to learn something new. Have a great day!

Can I do this?

Wow, so much to learn and I feel so technologically illiterate. Up to this point in my life I have felt that for the most part I was fairly computer savvy but after learning about blogs, rss feeds, google docs, and wikis, boy was I wrong! I love learning new things and feel that this is a good challenge for me but I'm not sure I can do it at the pace we are going. Thank God for a day like today where I can catch up and just focus on learning about these things. Learning never stops and I really appreciate the fact that I am able to learn and while I am being challenged I know I CAN DO THIS!
