As we close things out on the first trimester, we are also starting month 6 in our FSO classes. This month we will be learning how to use Flash. I am both looking forward to that and a little initmidated by the prospect.
I will also begin Cycle 1 in my ARP. The Thanksgiving break will allow me to finish some of the media assets I need. I need more than were required for the ARP Showcase.
My Computer Related Technology students are finishing their cartoon mash-ups. I posted one for Crystal today. Several others are nearly done. We post them on a private Ning site so the students can see their work and that of others in a more personal setting. Most of them are also on YouTube, as I have to upload them to YouTube to get an embed code.
To look at work done by both my students and I on YouTube, Check out my channel, 1to1classroom.

About time to get blogging again...
As you can see by the dates, I've taken a little break from blogging. But now I'm back. Starting month 5 with the need to form a new team because I am in a section with none of my former team members caused me to do a bit of scurrying at the start. And, of course, there is the whole thing about getting the ADDIE proposal done. I can't believe how tired I have been! This is not soley due to the FSO work. My administrator has me teaching Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6-9. I didn't really have a choice, and would not have elected to teach at nights this year as I am making every effort to finish my masters with FSO.
New things - I started a blog to help lead my students through my ARP cycles. This is where I will put electronic surveys, videos, and other media I want to share with them. I didn't list the blog as a media asset, though, as it wasn't a category.
I am currently freezing in my classroom, so I will cut this short. The new heating/cooling units they installed last December are the worst thing I've ever encountered. Fifth hour mine really cuts in and blows very cold air on me the whole time. We wear coats a lot because we never know if we are going to have heat or not. Of course, saying this will raise the ire of some, but it's the truth!
I'll write more when my fingers have thawed.
