The article <em>Digital Images in the Language Arts Classroom</em> by Kajder, Sara; Swenson, Janet is about integrating DS into the Lang. Arts curriculum. Every student has a story to tell, and all of them are interested in technology, so DS is a perfect way to connect school to the real world. When students create a digital story they are reading, writing, creating and thinking on a high level. I am really eager to get my students involved in digital story telling this year!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/119231052317958328-8110247090718351596?l=yobooklover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yolandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14832552716918719125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119231052317958328.post-3596426088761859582009-01-25T12:29:00.000-08:002009-01-25T12:36:17.054-08:00So I spent several hours playing around with the layout of my blog, only to have it look exactly the same. There don't seem to be very many user-friendly options for customizing these blogs. I tried to get a 3 column layout, but I never could figure it out, so looks like it's plain 'ole vanilla blogging for me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/119231052317958328-359642608876185958?l=yobooklover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yolandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14832552716918719125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119231052317958328.post-52502770012228112032008-03-24T18:04:00.000-07:002008-03-24T18:08:10.156-07:00I really want to be a great teacher. I want to spark the imagination of my students. I want them to think, and enjoy doing it. I want them to learn, and apply that knowledge to many situations. I want to help shape futures, and help my students be the adults that they are meant to become, but man, that's hard!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/119231052317958328-5250277001222811203?l=yobooklover.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Yolandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14832552716918719125noreply@blogger.com0
