Online Graph 1

It was interesting to see how WV scored in NEAP scores compared to the national average. It is disappointing to see that WV is behind the national average however I feel we are moving closer to closing the gap. We were closet to the national average in 2000 and farthest from the national average in 2005. I feel that WV is doing all we can and preparing our students daily to preform closer to the national average. Using kidzone was awesome. I had never used this before but will definitely use this in the future for graphs of my own and think that students could easily use this as well. Great program!

Reading Quiz

Here are the answers to my reading quiz.

Image Formats

Here is the link to my spreadsheet and narrative.

Screen Grabber

I searched the internet for a fall scence being in the fall mood that I am in. Once I found this beautiful picture, I used the print screen button and then pasted the image into Paint. With my image in Paint, I cut just this picture from the web page and copied it into a new page. I then added text, saved it as a 24-bit Bitmap and used the add an image link under postings in my blog. The size of my photo is 219 KB and is 349 X 214 pixels. I learned about the print screen button from another computer class and think it is a very cool tool.

I could use this in my class by saving some images from the internet using the print screen button and saving it to paint where I could edit the image and add text to view later with my whole class to build literacy background.

Graphics from Scratch

This was one of the more easier assignments. I used paint to create my self portrait. Since we could only use five lines, I used the curve line for the mouth, the pencil for the eyes, the brush for the nose and spray paint for my hair. I used colors to make my picture more real. I saved my project as a 24-bit Bitmap. I then uploaded this to my FTP and linked it to my blog. Here is my graphics from scratch self portrait.

Reflection for Module II

Although this class has been time consuming and at times down right frustrating I am happy to be taking it and learning all that I have learned. Here is my reflection for Module II.
