FTP

I had a computer geek friend come over Fri. evening and he helped me figure out why the FTP wasn't working, load it up and then transfer a few files over to the FTP. So I now have that skill under my belt.

Crappy Graphics

I went to Crappy Graphics and made a Venn Diagram to show the three schools I go to as a B. D. Itinerant Teacher. I used the paint brush to change colors, used the underlining tools, and the text to write in each circle. The URL of my graph is:

Online Graphics-Assignment write up

Today, I was finally able to download the second assignment with graphics. I had problems with downloading the infomation as I had save the graphs as documents instead of jpg files. Once I realized this, I then was able to download the graphs and complete the assignment. We had to access the Kid Zone chart construction page: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/graphing/classic/ and create a chart that shows the number of students with an IEP (Individualized Education Programs) in the poorest states. This was based on the per capita personal income per state information from the year 2006 accessed at this website: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0104652.html. These states were Mississippi, West Virginia, Utah and Arkansas (ranging from the poorest state to not as poor). The additional information was found through the NAEP at this website: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/states/. Under each state is listed the percentage of students with IEP. The chart portrays that West Virginia had the second lowest percentage of students with IEP than the other two poor states, but this may reveal that West Virginia has a smaller population and therefore a smaller number of students enrolled. The second chart reveals that West Virginia's avereage scores in Math have not been growing as quickly as the National average in Math.

Online Graphics

I have the graphics ready to download but having difficulty with transferring them from google docs. to save them as a web site. They wouldn't load as a file from my computer. Yawn!!!!I'm calling it quits for the night and will try again tomorrow.

I tried to edit the image capture on my blog to get rid of the yellow line on the right, upper corner, by editing and redoing the text on Paint, but it didn't get rid of it. So I left it as it is. I also noticed that the time was off by three hours so I went in and changed the time setting.

Image Capture

Self-Evaulation #1

I completed my evaluation and submitted it to Dr. Pierce today.

Desktop Graphics Assignment

Ok, so I spend 2 hours looking through pictures on clip art and finding this other tree. I then decreased the header and footer on the page to fit all the text. Next, I tried to copy it on to my blog, but I couldn't get it to work. So I ending up downloading a picture from my browser and using that for my tree. So I can't quite explain all of #2 on the assignment, but I could show students how to use clip art to get pictures off the web, for projects.

Today's activities

Today I read Dale's Cone of Experience article and posted my picture and response to the article. I also answered the first self-evaluation question and posted it on the blackboard. I also realized, through others' responses that I was not following Dr. Pierce's blog daily and added that to my list of blog's to follow.

The starfish, pictured below is an excellent example of endurance and adaptability. Even will the change in tides, water levels, and temperatures, this creature manages to live out its life on this rugged Washington State coast. As I consider Dale's Cone of Experience, I would use this picture with the third grade class I wrote with to facilitate a discussion on environment, adaptability, and survival of the fittest. Dale's Cone illustrates ways in which we learn and how to use as many options as possible to enhance the way in which students take in and assimilate information. By using written words, pictures and verbally discussion of the starfish, the student would retain more information about the starfish as illustrated by Dale's Cone of Experience.

So I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I was able to download my link to my resume from my published link and then download it to my blog. This all took me over 90 minutes, and I'm sure it was a lot faster for those of you who are not technologically challenged. The published form did not come out with the same spacing and bullets I had on the copy I did on microsoft word, but its up and I didn't want to try to mess with it, once I got it up, for fear that I might lose it. Oh well, it's a learning process isn't it?!
