There was so much to share, but I wanted to also make it a fun book for a young audience as well. Please let me know if you have an suggestions or feed back. Skip, how do I turn this in? Thanks.

I wasn't sure if the first link would work so I provided another. Let me know. Thanks again!

Confused

I went to the black board and I am starting on the book. I read Betty Swan's community profile (which was good by the way), and was wondering where that falls into the assignments. Is that part of the book or slide show? If someone could help me that would be great!

Skip I read your blog about our class and it was very thoughtful, thank you. Just being in that class was motivation for me, surrounded by such strength! I tried posting to you, but couldn't.

Anywho, I am getting a little stressed about assignments I don't want to not turn something in.

On another note, teacher in-service next week, conveniently it is also the start of moose hunting. I have my fingers crossed that we get one! Unfortunately, I have to miss some of hunting, as I am taking our runners to Nikolai for a meet next weekend.

In closing someone set me straight on the assignments! PLEASE :)! Thank you!

Pan Raven Project

I thought I better start taking some pictures for this project, and it took a lot longer then I thought, as well as the more pictures I took the more ideas for the book I got. So, I thought..."Jeee I better let my classmates know that this project may take longer then expected....if they are anything like me (lol)". In any case I am still in taking photo stage of the whole project. I have about twenty pictures and 4 ideas for the book. I have a feeling the most difficult portion of this project will be weeding it down to what I need.

Okay, well I have to go running. I have been running with our x-country running team, which consists of my son, my daughter and a cousin. :) Our first meet is in Nikolai on the 8th of Sept then I believe we go to Nome on the 15th of Sept for regionals. So, if any of you will be there, I may be too as a chaperon. That word looks odd!

Take Care!

Community Message Board HOT HOT HOT

Hi everyone! I sure miss seeing you all, and the feeling of strength when we were all together. It is difficult being back home and facing some of the school politics alone. I do have some of a support group. I started a discussion on our message board www.mcgrathalaska.net you hit message board once you get there if your interested. In any case it initially started off with my posting the web site for the AYP report as it was released last week. The whole thing spiraled into people in our community and others venting their frustration with the IASD. I did contact the State yesterday to ask for advice as far as 8th graders and credit and what to do when your district won't listen. It seems local power is key. Find people to run for the board that will represent your parents and not back down to politics.

Anyways if you get a chance, check out the message board. Our community put it together to communicate and as you can see it has also been serving as a venting piece. LOL, f.y.i. shortly after my second posting responding to the messanger the Assistant District Super Intendant left a message on my phone saying next time I should contact their office first before going to the message board. It wasn't a nice message to say the least.

It just goes to say if your not doing anything no one will talk about you, the minute you try you get faced with opposition. But, look at all the people that responded to my thread on the message board. We can make a difference!

Pan Raven and the Trip in general

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.


I think I am like everyone in the class when I say how fun and exciting it was to learn about all these new tools for teaching and just using in general! It was a bit rough getting started on Pan Raven, but I am excited about going home and starting to take pictures. This is the motivation I need, as I have a children's story in my head I have been wanting to write. I think my first Pan Raven story will be about McGrath.

My biggest concern is loosing my notebook with all these @(#*$&(#*)&$ passwords.

It was a good week. It was nice meeting all of you and Skip thank you for doing such a great job teaching. You sincerity and enthusiasm was so evident and beneficial to us all.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Power Point and Inspiration

(I took this picture moose hunting-I love crisp Fall days)
Good Day! Hello, it has been a really exciting last couple of days working on Power Point and Inspiration. Power Point I have used before, but I have always just stayed with the basics. It has been good for me to be forced to use tools I haven't before such as creating an arrow and giving it animation. I may use Power Point with my kids in the future for a presentation or just to teach them how to use it for their presentations, and I know for sure I will use it with my side work.

Inspiration has been new to me, with the exception of the module work I did to get here. I can see using it as a tool for students to create outlines for their writings or class presentations. I have seen 5th graders suffer trying to put their ideas in order and this is such a wonderful tool to help them brain storm, group their ideas, hit the outline tool, and TADAH!!! I would also use this to give presentations because the students could follow my pattern and I could use the link tool to show them example of whatever we are studying. You could use this software for any academic area. Even language. We could show a word, play the word, and bring up a source online.

Introduction

Hi, you have reached my blog, WELCOME! I intend to use this site for the purpose of my ED 429 class, but if you find anything useful here please use it! I am studying to get my bachelors in Elementary Education through the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I live in McGrath, but was raised in King Cove until I was 10 and then moved to Anchorage. I have had experience in both the rural and urban communities as a community member and educator. I am very active in the traditional games of the Native people of Alaska. It is exciting working with our youth because of the enthusiasm they bring with them, and from my own personal experience I know as educators we can make a difference.
