Dear God, please keep one hand around my shoulder and the other hand over my mouth today.  I am becoming a Twitter fiend.  It's easier than blogging, and potentially more career limiting.  But, you know what?  I gotta passion for early childhood education, and I'm not afraid to show it.  Check out what's up with me here .

Parent Teacher Conference

Here is a mock parent teacher conference that I animated.  I am really struggling with technology and could not get the mouths to sync with the words.  I have not posted in a long time, so I thought I would put this up at least.

Teacher Technology Update

I am still gaining skills in using technology.  I am currently in an Administration class learning how to be a preschool program director.  One of our tasks is to create a blog for a fictitious school.  I am particularly pleased with how a slideshow I created via PhotoPeach turned out (all photos belong to me, a mash up of observation pictures I have taken in various spots).  My fake school is so awesome, I wish it were real.  Check it out...
