Webopedia.com

I will admit that I wanted today's post to include an interactive snow globe, but I settled for another form of "new media". Today I used webopedia.com to look up the definition for "new media". It stated that "mobile computing was part of this new media, so I decided to post from my touch. I will admit it serves two purposes since I'm also trying to decide if my reading advisory should use computers for a message board or use the touches to a actually blog. One of the concerns was using proper grammar on the touches. The other thought was that if would be difficult to process on a touch. As I try to type this, I have to agree. It looks like the students will be posting on the computers not the touches.


I will admit I had to edit my entry since the link I added using my mobile device did not work. At least I gave it a try.

I think we are getting a classroom set of touches at the compound. I need to figure out how to best use these.

I like your avatar!

good try!!

i never care if my kids use standard english in their blogs, etc. it's nice if they do, but whatev.

however, if it's hard to post on the touches, then that seems to seal the deal!!

KC- Since my kids don't necessarily know standard English, I do try to have the use it as much as possible.

LH- It seems it's easier to get books from iTunes, but Hunger Games was only on Kindle. We were, however, able (legally) to download one book to six touches. Our LA department also has some grammar apps it's using.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
