SS3 Integration

Wow, this project was a lot of work. I started on this even before the election, as you can probably tell by the subject matter. It seems like something the students could really get interested in though. I did this for a 9th grade world history class because I am currently observing this class. I believe the election is something that all Social Studies classes should in someway discuss the election. It took me a little to figure out the google sites, but in the end I worked it out. It was definitely worth the work and I think I would be able to use this lesson once I get my own classroom and will be able to teach my own lessons. Although, I suppose I will have to wait four years. Here is my site :)

Grades 2

I thought this assignment was a little difficult. The IF and COUNTIF functions were new to me. I had to figure them out, but once I did it was alright. I used 93 as an A, 83 as a B and so forth. I hope I did everything else right. I know it said to have the percentages, but when you put the cursor over the different parts of the pie chart, it will say the percentage, so I am taking that as enough. This is my grades2 exercise :)

Grades 1

This assignment was very informative. I have worked with spreadsheets in a computer class in high school, but that is about as much as I ever have. It can definitely be a useful tool with all of the formulas and formatting that can be done. It was also really useful tool for creating charts. Here is a link to my grades1 page :)

Intel Ranking Tool

I thought this assignment was really interesting. This could definitely be a good tool to use in the classroom. It gives students the opportunity to discuss the reasons they ranked the items the way they did.
Maria was partner and she was really great to work with. We decided to use her subject area because she is actually teaching right now. We chose Macbeth and we did a ranking tool on who was responsible for King Duncan's death. It was really neat to see it all come together. We put our ranking tool on a Google Site and here is the link to it. I hope we did everything right.

Screen Grab Correction

I just noticed I forgot one little #1 in address to my screen grab assignment. Here is the correct link.

Photo shop











This activity was really fun. I liked editing the photos. I think I will probably use photoshop more that I know how easy it is. Here is a link to my album :) Not all of the photos were edited, but you can probably tell the ones that were. Here are three of the photos I edited as well. The one of my twin sister casi and me, we were originally wearing pink shirts.

Web Album

This project was fun. I usually just share photos through facebook, but you have to be my friend to view them. This lets people who don't have facebook be able to view my pictures. How you enjoy my album :)
