Day 10: Flippin the Class Script while gettin' techy w/ it...

Plenty of tech tools for teachers to bestow upon our students. Resources include: http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2013/02/the-22-digital-skills-every-21st.html http://www.donorschoose.org http://www.aurasma.com "Augmented Reality" A prep discussion on developing a technology plan for the upcoming school year whereby the facilitator, Kimberly Lane aka askatechnogirl@twitter/gmail.com, agreed with my idea to have students complete all website sign-ups during the first week of school. The presenter was very high energy my exhaustion was mainly due to my ride back to school. Ok, I finally established a charge plan that will get me to MSU in a timely manner without being stranded on the highway pushing the motorcycle up the hill in the rain, cold, or heat. From Clarksdale 1st stop = Burger King in Greenwood, next = McDonald's in Winona, next = Hospital in Eupora all going an average of 30 MPH BUT from Eupora to MSU 65 MPH!!! This conserves energy up until I get to my last leg of the journey and as of today it has been proven to work 100% in spite of the wind and many many hills along the way. Going back to Clarksdale may be similar but instead of stopping in eupora I'll stop in Winona, then Greenwood, then Webb and on home from there. Looking forward to the beginning of the end of True Blood this upcoming Sunday. Mentally planning a few lessons for my students in my meta-cognitive state of mind and looking forward to eating dinner tonight! Making progress with my cultural art project, Mrs. Latham came by and expressed her approval and a few of the teachers came by to take a look, I suppose that largely had to do with them mainly seeing me walk around the room the first few days. They didn't understand or realize I was organizing the art in my mind on a meta-cognitive level and not being lazy or avoiding the task at hand at all. My journey to MSU began around 2PM Sunday but the long charging sessions drug it out whereby I didn't arrive until 5:20AM. You already know I'm looking into getting a quick charge unit for the bike... OUT!
