A New Web 2.0 Tool

Take a look at this little animation.doc and decide if this is a new web tool……..lol….it is not a tool but I thought it would make you laugh a little.

It’s The Final Countdown

All I need now is the music from Cutting Crew to make this entry complete.  We are getting down to the last few weeks of the course.  It has been amazing to see everyone progression through the course.  We all started at different points in our technology education and hopefully we have all learned something [...]

No Sadness…..just sound!

After school today I ventured out to Future Shop to look at all the cool techno stuff. I might as well have my paycheque deposited to Future Shop since I purchase a lot of stuff from them. My Bluetooth USB transmitter finally arrived into the warehouse. It allows the user to connect [...]

Feeling Like Something Blue…

The recording of my Pre-cal Mathematics lessons are going great. I have installed a newer version of the Smartboard software and it works even better than the previous version. It does a better job of condensing the size of the saved file, which in turn allows me to upload it faster to google [...]

From a Distance….

I just disconnected from SKYPE, I was talking to my nephew up in Dauphin. He is currently enrolled in the BUNTEP program through Brandon University. He is training to become a teacher…sniff…sniff…I am so proud. He was working on a project and needed some middle years math games. The great thing [...]

Blended Learning Podcast

I put together some thoughts and ideas related to blended learning. I made a podcast of these thoughts, all the while keeping my mathematics class in mind. Give a listen and tell me what you think. Blended Learning Podcast

Lilies

I was looking at the slide show that NagraLinda (Lili) put on her blog and I decided to try a little slide show with Slide, the program works like a charm. I had some photos that I took this summer of all my lilies so I decided to post them. We are soon [...]

Success!

The Tool Chest

My father was a mechanic so I have always grown up with tools. I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench, build a nuclear device. Wait….sorry I cannot do that last one. I have always been good at working with my hands. But the tools we are currently involved with involve [...]

One Step Forward and No Steps Back (hopefully)

I think I am finally able to put my video lessons on my Math Blog. I was able to get around the block on Google Video and upload my lessons. I put a link to the video on my blog. The only problem will be is that the students cannot look at the video at [...]
