See Yourself on the FRONT COVER of TIME!


Write on It!
A cool website to put yourself on the front page! You can choose from many different magazines. I wish I could change the color of the type at the bottom of the magazine page.

WORDLE - Beautiful Word Clouds

Wordle is one of my favorite sites for these awesome word clouds. Just type in text (like science above was typed in multiple times, so it has more weight). All the smallest words were typed in just once. Check out the wordle site for other's word clouds.

My Webspiration

Mywebspiration.com is another of the great WEB 2.0 tools. The one thing I like about it more than bubbl.us is that I can convert it to an outline form with longer descriptions of each topic in the web graphic organizer. The embed code is available after using the sharing tab, publish to a URL, then at the bottom of the published web page is the "copy embed code".

Moses Lake Sand Dunes or THE MOON?




June 2008
So, where are these Astronauts? Could it be the moon? If so, there were a lot of spectators. It was an exciting day to watch NASA scientists work and test their moon designs in the desert sands of Moses Lake's south end sand dunes. We do hope the space men will return soon!

Slideshare

Another great Web 2.0 is Slide Share @ slideshare.net. It enables one to embed a power point into a web page or blog. The beauty of this is that #1: people don't have to leave your web site to see your slideshow #2: Even if the computer does not have the power point program, someone can still view the power point!!

EETT/NCCE

EETT has been such a terrific grant program. I have appreciated Karen Schmitten SO MUCH! I have encouraged many Moses Lake teachers to apply. The coaching tips are terrific, the new learning has been mind blowing, and the web 2.0 apps that are available now are amazing!! Check out ToonDoo!! (toondoo.com)
