I learned about Office 2007 and looked at Excel 2007. I loved looking at the new Notebook 10 software. I am sure that I will use the Smartboard software in my classroom. I want to learn more about the blog and how I can use it in my classroom.

Three interesting things I learned:
1. Word 2007 has a great SmartArt feature now.
2. Notebook 10 has some great new interactive things in the gallery.
3. Blogging doesn’t make sense to me yet. Alas, I am getting old.
Two things I might try in my classroom:
1. Notebook 10 – definitely!!!
2. I will try blogging, if I can figure out when the kids would do it.
One question that I still have:
1. What do I do with the kids that don’t have internet access who want to join the class blog?

I am totally new to blogging, so that was interesting. I also am fairly new to SMARTboard, so the SMART notebook 10 was helpful-the new additions are really cool. The tips on Office 2007 were also interesting.
I will try to use blogging and more of the SMART notebook in my 2008-09 classroom.
The question that I still have-how to set up blogging and how to use SMART notebook for handwriting practice (lined paper , configure marker to text) for first grade.

Yesterday, I enjoyed learning about new office 2007. I think the software will really help in the classroom. I was lost the rest of the time, unsure of what exactly we were doing. I am glad you gave us a handout today outlining what we need to focus on doing.

I was excited to be in tech academy! It was so nice to learn about the new Microsoft Office 2007 programs. Now I can work better at home. I enjoyed looking at different blogg pages to get ideas of how I can use it in my class. I installed Notebook 10 on my computer at home. Thanks for directions as how to do this.
I am going to try to use my blogg page as a communication tool this year in my class. I will also try to include children’s comments and their work in the blogg.
My question is: Will you be there to help me when I mess up?

2 things I will try in my guidance program are: blogging as part of my groups and guidance, and implementing technology activities in my lessons.

2 – Incorporate the use of the SMART Notebook in classroom guidance lessons.
1 question that I still have:
What would be the most benefical way to use blogging with students in terms of guidance and counseling… also in terms of keeping confidentiality?

Istill need to learn a lot more about blogging.

I learned that the toolbar in Word 2007 is now called the ribbon. In Excel 2007 I learned how to highlight the information with different colors. I liked using the Magic Pen tool in Notebook Software. In my classroom I can use the shape recognition tool on the Smartboard when teaching Geometry. I would like to use Smilebox to create a classroom picture album. I still have questions about starting the blog.

I learned several things yesterday. First of all, I am so excited about adding blogging to my world of technology. By looking at examples yesterday, I was able to get more of an idea of how I’d like to use blogging in my instruction. I can’t wait to get started. I also learned how to add both my H and P drives to my links from the portal. What an amazing tool when working at home!
As far as things I plan on trying in my classroom, I plan on using several of the new Notebook 10 activities in my classroom as well as using blogging for book reviews, science & math talk, and so much more!
A question I have: Can I add favorite backgrounds/graphics to my blog that I find or do I have to pick from a list? Can music be added?
June 10th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Use of the new format of tools on the ribbon when I learn how to use them.
Can save documents and transfer to 2007docx.
Lots of new educational websites
I want to use blogging in my class.

Smart Board and Notebook 10 for anatomy lessons.
Microsoft power point for my stretching lessons.
Why will I not learn all the bells and whistles? I want them all!
And again It’s PHYSICAL EDUCATION!
