Spread Sheets

I think spreadsheets are great for many things. Excel has endless possibles when it comes to making spreadsheets. It can help students organize information and visually see it. Graphs can be made from spreadsheets which becomes useful. Patterns can be seen and calculations can be made.

It would be great to even print out blank spread sheets and give them to each student. As a class they can all be filled out. It's easier for me to understand concepts if I write them down myself. It makes it easier to grasp and call. If a student needs to refer to their sheet they can. :)

Mardi Gras!!!!

I've lived here in Mobile for about 4 years and I finally decided to go downtown for Mardi Gras. It was my very first time and it entertaining. Although I'm 4'10 and couldn't catch anything my boyfriend Steven got me a couple beads!!!!

International Blogging




Genki Japanese and Cultural School

Genki Japanese and Cultural School is a very strange blog to me. It doesn't seem to be a school that I would think of. There are a few posts that mention anything about the school. It seems like it talks more about news. One blog that stuck out was that public bathrooms in Japan cannot be used by anyone with tattoos! How strange. I think this is more of information blog as opposed to a actual student/school blog.





Mrs. Cassidy's Class

I love this class blog website. It's very colorful and fun! It's has many links that can be very helpful for the parents and students. It provides links that can help the students practice their skills. In the link for the class blog each student has their own blog and they post pretty frequently. Mrs. Cassidy seems to be a great teacher and seems fun! She obviously loves what she does, and does a great job doing it. This is the best use of blogs for a school that I have seen thus far. This was my favorite blog website.
