About Me

I recently got a job as a fourth grade teacher and am working on my masters in Reading. I got married in October of last year and am learning how to live/work on a farm. It's a whole new experience and I'm always busy, but it's worth it.

Organizing Work using Graphic Tools

This assignment was hard for me to understand. I know how to use the drawing tools in Power Point, but I wasn't sure how to organize my work. I'm hoping that what I created is correct. I decided to make a web where all of the items projected out from my home computer. I labeled and added web addresses and links to each item. I couldn't get Google Documents and my FTP site to open with my links, so I added assignment links that I have previously completed. I decided to add Photostory as another item since that was a major project that we completed. I saved it as a PPS file and it's 38KB. I tried every other file type and this was the only one that allowed me to click on the links. However, I also added an image of my graphic directly onto my blog that is a jpg file type and is 57KB.

I feel that this would be a good tool to use within my classroom to help students understand main idea and supporting details to a story. They could make a web of their own on PPT or we could make one together using our classroom projector. A Venn Diagram could also be made using the graphic tools in PPT. Here is my link. I hope this is right!

My wife recently completed her Masters (she's a teacher and cirriculum writer) and teaches. It's tough during the school year. I'm getting dish pan hands over it all!
