This was an easy way to create a podcast. Recording and talking were pretty simple. It did help that Erin got me to the point where all I had to do was start talking!

I will not use this in PreK. I think it would be neat for middle and high school students. I especially like the tools. I remember having a question about how to do something, or a formula in math, and this would be very useful to refer to as needed. I did like the 3rd [...]

I think this will be useful, but it will be hard to get out of the routine to attach documents with emails. I think my grade partner could use this to make one newsletter for our grade. We have also talked about doing this with our upcoming themes. Some weeks we simply do not have [...]

This is a great idea considering how many different computers I work on during the day. It will be nice to have everything in one place no matter where I am working (at home or school). I was surprised at how many resources there were for PreK. I usually have a hard time finding what [...]

I explored MixBook briefly, but realized that this was similar to what I have done this with Shutterfly. I created a year’s worth of pictures of my daughter and made it into a book for Christmas presents for grandparents. It was easy, and not very time consuming, well it was when we had dial up…
