Blog usage in the classroom

Blogging can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. It is very useful way to convey test and quizes via the internet. Creative,more attractive formats can add interest ,entertainment and better understandinding of curriculum. Blogging can enable students to follow specific instructions without the teacher's presense. Up-to-date and developing information can be accessed quickly and easy (if you know what you are doing!).
Communication may be instantanious and on-going. I especially find the various usages for blogging to be useful in presenting information to others rather than personal e-mailing. Blogging brings entire groups together to disucss or work on various tasks or projects. The party invitation workshop was enjoyable,but I feel that I missed some of the details that would make this type of activity most rewarding. I find myself blogging on all types of issues of interest. This also provides me with an outlet to voice my opinion on topics I might otherwise neglect . My experience so far has been a learning and entertaining endevour no matter how lost I feel at times. It is comforting to know that help is right around the corner. I really want to go through many of the activities again so I can utilize them at my job and with social interaction. mdf. "spotshot22"

learning to blog

my prehistoric aprroach to the computer age has changed for the positve since working with Mr. Larry Hewett. I am truely becoming an advocate for many programs introduced to me by Mr.Hewett and supported by Mrs. Packer(a joy to work with and a much-needed breath of fresh air, i might add) Remember all those who help you on your day to day dealings in these trying times. Many of the basics are negelected during this unpredictable age in time. I have been taken to task about my sloppy usage of "capitalization". I vow to my friend and supporter, Mr. Hewett, that I would make every attempt to correct my over-sights concerning this matter. Again, carpe diem, for who knows when the end is coming. I'll end on a positve note. God bless and may all your dreams come true. until we converse again, mdf. "spotshot" p.s. feel free to initiate communication on a particular topic or just vent!

Mr Michael D. Fowler

ready to rumble

This is a night that will pit old rivalries again on the gridiron. We all know west is best, not the south mouth. We will attempt to knock the mighty stallions from their stalls and bring a victory back to the" HOOD."(long story) not worth the time of day. Focus and attitude will be keys,if we are to be successful. We recognize the situation and the tradition that we must face. "NO GUTS>>NO GLORY"! Hopefully the football God's will shed a little mercy and luck our way. The kids have worked hard to get to this point. To say we were very proud of our "troops" would be an understatement. you never know... a blind squrriel finds a nut every now and then! saying a little prayer wouldn't hurt. It helps to have THE MAN on your side. until we connect again...peace be with you. mdf. "spotshot"

if u c

My sincere thanks go out to all those who help me along the way. I feel so technologically handicapped that I get frustrated at times,but... If u c Mr.Hewitt,know that he is certainly here to serve others. i can speak from experience/ He has helped and encouraged me sooo many times in my quest for computer compelentcy.(spelling is also a challenge....like my Pop once told me after I asked him to spell a word for me. His response.."u r not very creative if you can only spell a word one way." that's good enough 4 me. Mr. Hewitt will instill a feeling of hope when things seem lost in this cyber-spaced world. I must be the old dawg trying to learn new tricks. Blogging is very entertaining,as well as informative...not necessarily mine,but there r good ones out there. Again, I thank Mr. Hewitt and his staff for their help. mdf. "spotshot"

BEWARE

Does It seem to you that the government has gotten LLAARRGGEERR? How do we pay for this growth? Our God-given libertites seem to have taken a backseat to continuous rheotoric.....like Charlie Brown says "wa,wa,wa....". I have trouble making sense of this. Help! mdf. "spotshot"
