Last Day

Hi Everyone,

Today I will finish my ICT course. I just have to say that this is one of the most interesting and useful courses that I have had the opportunity to take. At times I found it frustrating but the class participants and the instructor were very helpful throughout and this made things much less stressful.

Thanks to everyone who was taking this course with me and to Glen for offering such a wonderful and useful course.

Jing Presentations

There are many uses that I can see for this type of a presentation format in the classroom. But I am most excited to use it to help my dad to fix his computer problems more easily. Jing is a wonderful application.

I have also had the opportunity to use the share the screen application that is apart of the SKYPE service. This also has many great uses both in the classroom and as a student myself.

Wiki -Austin Preschool Connections

Using Wikispaces has been very exciting. It is so easy to use and setup. I have created the frame work of a wiki that I plan to use as a part of my project for my masters. This wiki will be linked to the school and community websites so that I will be able to update my own information instead of relying on other people. The templates are easy to use and the gadgets are very straight forward. If you have difficulty the help menu is actually helpful!

Busy day with course work

Hi everyone,

I am sorry that it has been so ling between posts. Life seems to be getting in the way these days! I used my extra curricular day to stay home today to finish my paper and to work on my movie. I am really excited about the movie as it focuses on one of the programs that I run in our community. I will try to add it to my blog. This is always the part that I have the most difficulty with! See you all tonight!

WIKI

Hi

I am really excited about creating a wiki through wikispaces. I will continue to work on adding information to it as I can. I have not spent enough time focusing on the final paper and time is running out. I guess that will have to be the focus of my weekend.

Wiki problems

Hello all!

I have played on the computer all afternoon and evening and my husband is cranky as he wanted to play cards on the computer tonight! Guess he will just have to wait!

I am having trouble linking my wiki. Not sure what went wrong. The links that I have posted only take you to an error message. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem??

Wiki

Hi everyone,

I have been working on setting up a Wiki since we had our course this afternoon. I think this is something that I will really use. I am very involved in providing and creating preschool programs for the children in our community. I have started this wiki to provide information to the community. Presently, I email the RM and they make my changes for me but by the time they have made the changes the program is completed and we are onto something else. If the RM could provide a link on the RM and Austin web pages to my WIKI then I would be able to update the information myself.

Here is the link to my wiki. It is very rough but I will keep working on it. Some of the information that I need is located on my computer at school. I will keep you posted.

busy week!

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lack of postings this week. Grandma's house moved out of my yard this week and my priority was getting the basement filled in before my kids got hurt. So basement is filed in and landscaping has begun. always something else to help me procrastinate!

I have downloaded JING but have not yet had time to explore. I am presently working on a digital scrapbook for my kindergarten graduation. I hope to have it completed for the tea in two weeks. That is a real interest of mine and there are so many applications out there to use. I have tried a variety of the free site but so far I still prefer the creative memories site the best. Too bad a digital scrapbook was not one of our assignments!

June 2, 2010

Wow!! What a busy day!! Great Grandma's house drove out of the yard at 8 am this morning. Sad but exciting! Now so much work to do that will keep me procrastinating from my course work!

I did download a JING program / application during the session tonight. I my try to make a presentation of the digital scrapbooking that I am working on right now.

I really enjoyed tonight's session and do not feel so overwhelmed tonight. I will keep you posted as I try to attempt this new project.

Audacity

I have tried and tried tonight to get a podcast set up on my blog and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It worked when I did it on Sunday and today it is not going so well. One more try and then off to bed!!
