Notebook Headach: by fibi

I like the idea of using new technology to learn but to be honest i have yet to learn anything useful from this notebook. The only thing i learn is that if i want to get a quick headache, any day, just try using the notebook. It is very slow and i barley get Ethernet services.  I do not have a lab top, but i rather use my desk top anytime then this notebook.

Math lesson

This is my math lesson and you can see how a student can use voicethread to do a moth problem and show their work. Personally i do not like the sound of my own voice but it was fun to make.

THE NETBOOK: Honesty is the BEST policy!



We all enjoy the convince of having a Netbook with 3G coverage. Well at least I do when I had a working Netbook. I don’t hate the idea of requiring Block 1 students to pay $180 for something they will use rather than buying a textbook. Okay maybe I did hate the idea at first but that was only because I have my own computer. However, what I hate is the fact that I spent $180 for a Netbook that lacks the programs I need to complete my assignments.  Project # 2, Publisher, when I had to create a brochure or whatever, I had to go to the library because my handy dandy Netbook doesn’t have Microsoft Publisher. I remember sitting in the library working on my project and being so annoyed because I felt like I totally wasted $180. I could have bought boots with that money!  My anger eventually subsided because I gave up on the Netbook. Now that we are required to use it in class my mouse does not work! I am currently Netbook-less because I got so fed-up with all the issues. My netbook had a mind of its own. It certainly didn’t understand the fact that it is a machine and I am its master, thus it must do what I wanted it to do! My netbook was returned to the company due to lack of cooperation. I await a new and improve netbook that can do what I need it to do.
Thank you for reading. I certainly hope you were entertained by my Netbook J

Project # 7




This VoiceThread assignment is supposed to be a learning activity related to Health. I wanted my VoiceThread to be entertaining for my second graders. This is meant to be a quick overview of healthy foods. It is not meant to be a complete lesson. I personally learn best when I am being entertained, hence why my voicethread seems more like a project for entertainment rather than a voicethread for educational purposes.

Nature walk

This is a mushroom, and it is a fungi. This picture was take in Raketlake during our nature walk one early morning. When you touch it, it felt very smooth and fussy and it was also wet.   The stem, which does not show on this picture, was white. The other mushroom on, the smaller one on the top, was try and it was not as smooth.
