Busy day

as we move forward in the year more and more work seems to building up from the classroom to the athletic fields i found myself trying to budget my time which would include a little family time it seems as i get older i find myself spread so thin with activities that i may need a new strategy to manage my time to satisfy everyone

today

after researching marvel which i am familiar with through my research for my class esp mental health issues Steve helped me organized my gmail account which will be a great help in grading and overall understanding of what i can do with gmail in my class as a teaching tool

gmail

i was wondering whether you can correct an essay that was posted on gmail such as spelling errors or circle important ideas that have been made or can you only reply with a grade and maybe a comment

using blogs

we have started to blog our ideas in the classroom i used their opinion on whether a video we were showing had more of an effect that than we had used previous it was their views and comments that will determine which video i will in the future the topic was racism and it will interesting to read their reactions

small steps

I actually used my gmail account for my classes to send me their essay on racism from there it was up to me to print it off and then correct the essay just wondering would it be possible to corect the essays online and then send it back to the student

websites

Using would benefit me more i think with my involvement in the coaching ranks than with the class room with a website totally dedicated to our baseball program we could get out a great deal of useful information that would not only benefit the players but also the parents as well as the baseball community With our strong booster organization we are always looking for ways to get out the information about fund raisers , schedules, special events etc what better way than a website totally dedicated to your particular team or sport I found that the more more I did the web design the better I got at designing what I wanted but still a far way from what I would use to promote our program I still need someone with some web design experience to give me some help

new computers

With each student now with a computer it will be much easier for me to assign students in class projects this will allow me to not only allow me to cover more topics but deal with the topics with more depth which will allow I hope a better and more extensive learning enviorment
