Powerpoint
I created my powerpoint on the Cell Cycle and Cell Division. I feel very comfortable in teaching this subject and I am quite knowledgeable in the area of cells. I added two videos at the end of my presentation as well for a better understanding of the concepts being taught. Also, I created a crossword puzzle on the terms we went over during the presentation and there is a link to complete the puzzle!

Jing Screencast
http://www.screencast.com/users/sassyAST/folders/Jing/media/eb55e8ff-42ad-4d2d-9fbf-1e7f9c77b8d7
I thought this assignment was difficult and hard to understand how the video was supposed to be presented in our blog. My video is how to make a word document and the little features you can use that most people forget about! Some of the features people forget about are, using Word Art, Clip Art, how to add headers and footers, page numbers, and a text box. My video clearly shows how these features can be used.

Self Assessment
I assessed myself as doing well in the course so far. I have stayed up to date on my assignments and have put all the time in to them I can to make them to my best ability. Some of the assignments are challenging but I think I put forth the best effort I could and deserve an "A" in the course so far. I do get confused on the requirements needed for a few assignments. I do feel I have put in my best effort.

Jing Graphic
Last semester (Spring 2010), I took biosphere. One of the things he taught us was the types of punnett squares and how to do them. In class my teacher used a graphic similar to the one I created to help us understand the meaning of the square and the possible outcomes that could come by doing it.My graphic I created is about homozygous and heterozygous alleles, and how to cross them to get their possible phenotypes and genotypes. A Punnett Square is summary of every possible combination of one maternal allele with one paternal allele for each gene being studied in the cross. On my picture I did an example of crossing two heterozygous alleles and their possible outcomes. I was excited to use this product because I love to draw and be creative with things I have learned in a classroom. This is an excellent tool to use for teaching information that is sometimes easier to understand after seeing it and explaining it from the picture. All the features and colors allow it to be bright and catch your student's attention.

Google Draw Tool
http://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1GtpsBMYEo7QbauspcAYVB5eF6PlFOSoYql_QtRKAgEY&w=960&h=720
The drawing tools were cool. There were many different options you could use to add text. You could make a text bubble and write anywhere, or pick any shape you wanted to and write information in it. Also, when inserting an image on the page the Google search searches everything in the database so you have a wide variety of pictures to add to your doc!
The ISTE|NETS standard I choose reflected this work the most was standard 1, to Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.
d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
The drawing app allows students to use their creativity to explore new ways of learning. The drawing app has many different features on it that would help a child model their knowledge in a subject area. For example, a teacher wanted the class to make a "web" outlining chapter one. With the drawing app they can take what they learned from the chapter and be creative with it and model what they learned through the way they see fit.

Globster
http://abbyjane.glogster.com/
The link above is the link to my glob! Check it out :)
I didn't find many problems with this site other than they didn't have many samples or exmaples of music or audio. A globster web site has many possible uses for teachers of all subjects, but it is especially useful for English teachers. What's great about the site is that it's free, easy to use, and students can access and edit their Glogs from any computer with an internet connection. I really liked all the gadgets and decorations you could use for your page. It lets you express youself in ways that are fun and crazy. I like the feature that allows users to keep their Glogs private unless they send a visitor a link. It is like creating an online poster of yourself. This is good to use in the classroom because it allows students to find other students and get to know them. It also allows the teachers to find out different characteristics of their students. The ISTE standard I choice was standard 3, Excellence in Professional Practice. Educational Administrators promote an environment of professional learning and innovation that empowers educators to enhance student learning through the infusion of contemporary technologies and
digital resources. This standard is relating to children and what the learn in the classroom, whether it be technology wise or not, they can apply that information learned to the internet and to their globster. This is just a really good site for us to express ourselves in ways that we usually can't on a web page!

Self Portrait
It was very difficult to get my head to look right with my hair, and to get my eyes to face forward. I had to shrink my head to get my hair to look somewhat normal. I had to make the eyes bigger and rotate and flip them to make them look proportionate. When you are creating a portrait of yourself, you might look a certain way in the mirror, but to other people you might look like a completely different person. To me I think this is what I look like. But a self portait could be so many different things.
If you want to create your own self portrait go to this website :

Snipping Tool
This is the image I snipped. I have never used snipping before, But I found really cool! The image that was snipped was a passage about how to learn to ride a dirt bike. I had to learn this, and riding a dirt bike is one of my passions!

VoiceThread
A VoiceThread is a tool by which we can asynchronously meet, chat, draw, talk, cuss and discuss. Group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. VoiceThread really helped me to understand other people's viewpoints on why they wanted to be a teacher. I commented on the "Why Do I want to be a teacher". I want to be a teacher because I love to see children excel and I really want to be apart of changing a child's life one day. In my opinion the ISTE|NETS would be Model Digital-Age Work and Learning because teachers must exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. We are all expressing our knowledge and skills in the areas of teaching and we are expressing them to each other in our "global society".

Follow Someone/Google Reader
The first blog I picked to follow was, Learning is Messy. A class of 4th graders launched a balloon in the air and attached a camera on it. The balloon got up to 107,800 feet in the air and took over 500 pictures. I was amazed that a balloon could do that. These 4th graders are really using their heads when it comes to the science part of this activity.
The second blog I chose was Six things, and it was about 6 things our students are good at that we would've never even known. The skills they can do are not the skills we want them to develop but they are still clasified as "skills".
Twirling a pen between two forefingers and a thumb.
2 Leaning back on a chair just far enough to avoid falling over.
3 Drawing moustaches, devil’s horns and penises on photos in a book.
4 Opening the book to the wrong page every class.
5 Balancing a pen between the upper lip and nose.
6 Clicking pens quickly and noisily.

Internet Connection Test
Getting internet connection sometimes really sucks. At my apartment, I loose connection all the time. At any given time, I just get kicked off the browser. Alot of big cities receive connection very fast and can go from site to site within seconds, some smaller cities it takes more time. Depending on the usage and the company's people are using depends on how fast you receive connection to your browser. But yet at the same time in big cities it takes longer to receive connection because so many people are trying to log on and browse the web at the same time, like San Fransisco and Los Angeles. Your connection basically depends on the amount of people in your location.
