Here is the link to my Cited toolkit. I clicked on some links that I thought to be be helpful but they turned out to be dead or old sites. I chose 4 to link for now.
The one on cyberbullying will be helpful for our HIB leaders.
Digital storytelling will be a great link to share with the LAL teacher I do ICR with.
Managing Classroom Technology and "Why the Net" will be good resources for any teacher trying to incorporate more technology into the classroom.
I have sent the toolkit to Professor Holan and I have sent the toolkit to our guidance counselor for the anti-bullying site. I am sending it to my LAL partner as well. Finally I am going to send it to several teachers who are in the IMPACT grant but not in this class with us.

I created a storyboard for what my main page would look like. I am creating a page for tutorials of our math topics. I am going to break it down by chapter and section. This is for the main chapter page. I would like to have each video start with a still of the "teacher" I think this would make the kids want to click on it to see their friends teach.
This will be developed throughout the year this year and really in play for 2013-2014. Wish me luck!!
Blog Number 5 part 1 Movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrSEGwOlg14&feature=youtu.be
If you click on the above link you can see my movie. It is My son Max at age three. It was originally titled Max through the years, but that was too long! I do not like Windows Movie Maker!!! I am so used to the idiot proof Proshow Gold that allows you to just click and change duration for transitions and slide time. This was way harder!! PS tech support on line and on the phone are NO help at all! I finally finished it with narration and then the narration disappeared so I had to redo that and that is why I messed up in the beginning. I hope you enjoy it, the trip down memory lane was nice.

Blog 4 Activity on page 227 Colors
I did 2 different activities with colors and painting. Activity number 1: First I used watercolors and made a color-wheel mixing my own colors in the little boxes on the lid. It was tempting to just use the many pre-made colors but for this part I didn't. Secondly I did use the preexisting colors to create a rainbow paper. This is something I do whenever I get near water colors. I love the way the edges of each color blend together like in a real rainbow.
Activity number 2: I enlisted the help of my almost four year old and some finger paints. He made some predictions of what color would come from mixing two colors. Then he got dirty! I videotaped it please watch.
And then we took some pictures of the final products.
We had a lot of fun and made a big mess! Enjoy!!!

Blog 4 page 197 Borders
For this activity I took a picture from my wedding reception and used different borders to enhance the picture. I found the different border options within Microsoft Publisher.
The first picture has just a thin black line, a standard border found anywhere. For the second picture I chose silver to match colors found the the picture itself.
Pictures 3-6use the "border art" tab within the format your picture option. I think number three has a picture frame look it was called thick outside line.
Then I got a bit fancy, picture 4 is the grey hearts option, hearts for the family of course and the grey because again it plays off colors in the picture.
The Celtic Knot bordering picture 5 was originally black but making red added a pop!
For the wedding bells around picture 6 I used the custom option and it allowed me to choose from clip art or a picture of my own. I chose the wedding bells clip art because it is a wedding picture.
It was fun! I hope you enjoy it too.

Blog 4 page 193 Cropping
I chose several pictures and then cropped them in different ways to focus on different items. I did this by opening the picture in Microsoft Office Picture Manager which allows you to crop, re-size, change color and reduce red eye. I have used this program many times both personally and professionally.
I then put the pictures into a slideshow using Proshow Gold, the program I use for the graduation slideshow I make every year. This time I played with the captions feature to . I added captions, moved them around, changed the fonts and the colors to see what worked.
I hope you enjoy it!
