My first pinnacle project!



Click here to view my first semester pinnacle project!

I used Sliderocket just to be a little different! I really liked it except for the fact it didn't let me load as much video as I wanted without paying. I would have added more student samples if it allowed. The program was pretty easy to use after you played around on it and made a really neat finished project. There were TONS of effects and options to add to every slide. I will definitely use it again, I like it a lot better than prezi. Enjoy!!

Thanksgiving Time

Witten's Kittens are growing growing fast. First report cards went well and my students are able to do so much more than my students last year at this time. I think it is because I have started introducing things earlier like typing and logging in the computers independently. I have begged for an extra computer in my room so now my students are all able to be on a separate computer at the same time when in their center for typing or an activity on a website. My goal is to have them typing in a center each week for their writing instead of on paper. They don't even realize its a technology integration but they are still writing sentences we are just saving trees and making them 21st century ready!
