This was a lot of fun! Like many of my peers, I don't like the sound of my voice! I really enjoyed making up things to say for each slide. I found myself wanting what I said to sound official and professional, which I think will have a lot of cross over in the classroom with students. Again, this is a great medium that will allow kids multiple ways to present information on content they are learning. Plus it allows flexibility to redo a slide until the information is 'perfect.'
I hope to use this program again soon.

Panraven
Finally finished. For some reason, I was thinking it wasn't due until this week, so I focused on other classes. So now I hope you will view this and enjoy it, even though you all could probably narrate my vacation yourselves. Actually, I decided to focus on my family, the people we went to visit while in Arizona, instead of just the scenery... although many pictures are still included.
As far as uses in the classroom, I see many. This is a GREAT way for students to share something of interests. Creating and writing stories is key to building literacy in our children. Panraven does this by providing many templates.

Daughters surgery and new carpet
April 4th! What an intense day! Intern Interviews! YIKES! Who was I going to get? What would they ask me? How should I dress? All these questions and more burned through my brain faster than fish learn to swim! (Sorry, I couldn't help but add that little Dr. Phil-erism)
But alas, Last Friday was even more worrisome for me. My daughter was scheduled for oral surgery that day as well. Because her wisdom teeth are impacted (still in the bone), it required for her to be placed under general anesthesia. Thankfully, I was able to bribe Hillary and Kelly with a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies to schedule my interview before my daughters surgery. The interview and the surgery went smoothly.
My daughter stayed home all weekend and both Monday and Tuesday. Today was her first day back to school. I just hate leaving my kids when they are sick or in pain. I am glad she is returning to normal.
On a positive note, my new carpet was installed yesterday. It looks AMAZING! I really love this house! We spent the entire weekend pulling out the old carpet and padding and nasty staples and woodwork (previous owners had pets with bladder issues...). It was a lot of work, but now it was all so worth it!
