gmail chat- i've chatted with my little niece who is 2 yrs old and is living in Washington right now. She is a ball of energy and I miss her a ton! However it is tough for young kids to figure out how this works and so she gets confused and loses interest really fast because I'm not really there. but still fun to see her gorgeous face.

review from first project and next project

I actually really enjoyed the website project, it was a good experience to experiment with something like that (that previously I have had no experience with). And now that I have some sort of idea of how do it, hopefully I can use that in the future for my class or a family project or something of that nature. It took a long time to do, but was worth it in the end. For my next project I plan to make a video to address the topic of Objective 3
Examine mental illness. Because this can be such a powerful, personal lesson if taught correctly and it is hard to get to that point. I think a video mutlimedia project will have a neat effect.

New collabrative tool...

Keep and Share – Keep and Share is a group file sharing system. Accounts are password-controlled and secure enough to store sensitive information.

This is a new collaborative tool that I have never heard of, that could be very beneficial in the school setting for group work. This would help minimize the common problem that comes with group work and not being able to get together at a decent time. It was interesting reading my classmates blogs and seeing that a lot of this was new to them. Something that was a new thought to me that my classmates said, was that these tools would be helpful for students who miss class. This was a great idea.
