Embedded Google Presentation

Ok, this took me awhile to figure out how to see my presentation on my web page. I was putting the html code but the presentation would disappear after I saved it. I then found a place to insert a presentation and finally got it work, I THINK!! Check it out here!!!

Google Docs Presentation

This feature was really cool and something I had no idea about! It took me a little longer to do this than the power point things. When I uploaded, published and put my lesson on my blog the title was messed up, you couldn't see it because it was too high up on the slide. I went back to google documents and fixed it, saved the changes, refreshed my blog and the changes were there. Amazing! Now everyone can see my lesson and it is very easily accessible. Don't have to click on any links just go through the slides. Very neat!!

Power Point Lesson Web Page

This was just as easy as the show. I saved it as a web page and it changed the extension to .htm. I was a little confused when I saw two different files on my desktop but then figured out I needed both of them for it to work as a web page. I uploaded both files to FTP just like that!!

I am learning a lot from this class and starting to enjoy completing the assignments, I hope I am not speaking TOO soon!!

Saving power points as web pages are a great way for anyone to view your power point. Students can be at home and be able to pull up the lesson presented earlier in class. Great tool that I had no idea about!!

Power Point Lesson Show

I was worried about the show and web page part of this assignment but it was actually pretty easy. Instead of saving it as a presentation with the .ppt extension you save it as a show with the .pps extension. Then I uploaded to my FTP with no problem.

Students could use this to present their shows to other students or teachers.

Power Point Lesson Presentation

I was familiar with power point so this part was pretty easy for me. I had no problems uploading it to my FTP either. I am starting to get the hang of the FTP thing.

Using power point is a great way to present lessons to students in class. They seem to interest the students more than just the teacher talking. Today a lot of kids are visual learners so having a power point to view can be very helpful.

My Photo Story

Using photo story was pretty easy. I did have a little trouble saving it as a wmv file. The good news is I FINALLY CAN USE FTP ON MY COMPUTER!! I researched online how to create a network connection to the FTP!

I enjoyed using photo story and was thinking I could put together a story for my kindergarten class for their graduation in the spring.

FTP

Before this class, I had no experience with FTP. When I FINALLY got a computer that I could get logged into FTP it was sooo easy! I just wish it was more accessible.

I think it is very nice to be able to save files on a site such as a ftp. So many times I email things to myself from home to school or from school to home. Sites such as this would eliminate emailing things back and forth.

A link to my ftp file is here!

Personality Activity

Before taking the test I guessed that I would be ESFJ and after taking the test I was correct!! I was a little surprised that I guessed all areas correct.

I feel this test was very accurate, while reading my description I was completely amazed. Everything in the summary was ME, even down to a kindergarten teacher as a favored career!! This was a really neat test!! :) I also saw where my sister and I had the same results which is true because we are exactly alike!!

To view my results click:

ESFJ - "Seller". Most sociable of all types.
Nurturer of harmony.
Outstanding host or hostesses.
12.3% of total population.

Extroverted (E) 58.62% Introverted (I) 41.38%
Sensing (S) 62.16% Intuitive (N) 37.84%
Feeling (F) 62.86% Thinking (T) 37.14%
Judging (J) 72.22% Perceiving (P) 27.78%

Cover Letter and Resume

I was totally clueless at first how to use the Google Documents but once I had a chance to sit down and work with it, it wasn't near as bad as I had thought. I am getting more and more used to blogging as well.

I think it is very neat and a great idea to have your resume posted to a blog like this so that people who are seeking employment can easily have the resume made available to anyone interested in hiring you for a position.

Teachers who teach at middle school or high school level could require students to post assignments to their blogs instead of turning them in on paper.

Here are links to my cover letter and resume!

Starting to feel a little bit better!

I have been stressing since the class began but I am starting to feel a little bit better since I THINK I have my blog created and now my calendar. The calendar was very easy to create but a little tricky linking it to my blog. This calendar would be a very good way for students to keep their assignments organized. Had I known about the google calendar before I would have been using it myself all the time.
