Survival Skill #1 as a new teacher - Obviously, do not get a blog. You do not have time for it!


Where has the time gone. It has been almost 7 months since I started blogging, and I have only written, now, 3 entries. Why? I blame it on my job!


Well... throughout the first several months of my year I have found several online resources that I have used in my classroom. It is not only fun for my students, but it makes teaching (and grading) a lot more fun!


One online resource that my students LOVE is glogster.com. Glogster.com is my new favorite project medium. It is an online poster maker where students can demonstrate what they know through pictures, videos, word bubbles and more. And the best part about the entire website is they have a free education version at edu.glogster.com. Here, the teacher controls the accounts, passwords, and anything that is put onto the computer by the student. It is wonderful!


This is the example that I made to show my students when I was demonstrating how to use it.





If you are not good with technology, do not be afraid. This is definitely a user friendly website. After some trial and error, if you still can't figure something out, go to the source thats not afraid of the computer.... the students!
