It has been to long since my last post. So on my randomness of a night I have found at least two things worth blogging about. Not really sure if anyone really reads this blog to much but hey If I find something quite interesting why not blog about it and share it to whom ever might navigate to my place.
The first thing I would like to share is this place I found on the Curriki site that Karen had mentioned in class. I am starting my unit on animations with my 5th grade students. I decided to search for animation in this curriki. My search was not very successful in the way of finding lessons I could use however I found a wealth of other resources I could use. One of these worth investing is this place called Whyville. This site seems to offer many interesting games and adventures in a safe yet engaging way for students. I am not sure If I would really use it in classes however I find it is very interesting that a site like this is out there. I have not really explored the whole site but it allows students to create their own experiences. They are allowed to chat with others within the site only after they have taken the Chat License quiz, which to me seems very important. This site is mainly scientific and goes with the Title of Why Ville. It attempts to answer many questions students might have as to why things happen and the way things work. Check it out and tell me what you think!
The other object of my time went to a link a friend sent to me that shows a video of people having a bad day at the office. Sometimes I wish I could do what they are doing to their computers. For me it wouldn't be a bad day what work but just a bad day with technology. Bad Day Video Feel free to leave your reactions.
