Movie Maker

This project was easy and a lot of fun. I am so thankful to have a new computer - it really guides me through most everything. I am trying to start up a new FBLA chapter in a school that has not been a member for 5 years. This video details everything about the organization and putting it into Movie Maker made it more attractive to watch. I completed the project and then while waiting for Teacher Tube to approve it, I forgot about it - that is why this is kind of out of place in regards to the course activities list. FBLA

Embedded Form

I had a hard time getting this to embedded without showing the whole thing! I am going to have my high school students go on line and fill this out. They will think its fun! FORM

Google Forms

As a Business Education teacher, I remember making forms with check boxes, etc. in Access. This was so much easier! I was confused at first about how to arrange the information but the help feature was very detailed. This FORM would be a great way to keep track of my completers.

Assessment Rubric

A lot of the projects my students do are more performance based. This type of rubric will be a great way to assess them. I like the fact that the rubric can be easily altered to fit different types of projects. RUBRIC

Jeopardy

WOW! Glad to have this behind me - At least every time something takes a while to figure out, I am left with a lot of new knowledge and ideas. I used this game years ago while doing my student teaching but somehow forgot about it. My students are going to love playing this!

MY JEOPARDY GAME

Pecha Kucha & Ignite

I was asked by my principal to design a presentation explaining our new LINKS program. I will be presenting this to our Board of Education next week. I really like using Slide Share. Google Docs is so limited in regards to PowerPoint and this lets me design my show my way and still publish it.

Photo Story

I have wanted to learn how to do this for a long time! This was by far my favorite project to date. This software was SUPER easy to use. The only stumbling block I had was with the music but I soon figured that out too. My family loved the finished product and I am planning to do this project with my senior students in the spring.
