Power Points and other Updates

I really enjoyed this assignment. I never knew there were so many different and creative ways a person could use Power Point. I know that I will definitely be trying many of the activites in our book and see which ones are pretty useful for the future when I become a teacher.
I have also been working on getting my pictures I want to add to my Picasa folder for next week. I am trying to stay on one theme so all the pictures tie together somehow...so I guess we will just have to see how it turns out.

Camera

This camera assignment has been a lot for me. Reading some of those articles were so long, and they had so many definitions and examples that I had trouble keeping them straight. Technology is ever advancing and oftentimes when people buy a product, in just a year or two it is already out of date. There are many different specifications and options when choosing a camera that I would need an expert to assist me in finding the exact camera I needed. But it can also be so useful and a good way of documenting.

Culture Gram...

I really find it amazing how many resources can be found in the Pioneer Library, it is like every time I dig deeper into what they have to offer I find so much information and learn material as well. This past weekt the assignment was to use the Culture Gram link to find a country and create a page on it. The assignment itself wasn't all that difficult or too time consuming....it was just a matter of what country to pick. There were a lot of fun sounding ones. I chose to do Argentina for personal reasons and I learned a lot about the culture and people of Argentina. I already had some backround knowledge of Argentina....but I can imagine the things a student would find interesting on the counties pages.
