Game Plan Progress...

Hmmm....learning how to do a power point presentation is a long and slow process when you are trying to fit it in-between all the other busy things in your life and also working around the schedule of your tutor. Tonight I spent several hours searching and collecting pictures. I learned how to save the image to a folder on my desktop. I also started to divide my subject matter into 5 main topics. I discovered that I already had the program installed on my computer so that made things easier although I still feel a little unsure about how all this will come together. It's a little bit like walking into the dark and not sure what is lurking off in the distance, but everyone assures me that this is so easy. I am trusting that those who have have already mastered this concept are telling me the truth. Thanks for all the encouragement from fellow educators.

Progress on my school teaming site is also a slow process. It is quite obvious that I am a list maker. I like to see things get done quickly, slow is usually not in my vocabulary however there just does not seem to be enough hours in a week. We have a new teaming website at my school which is also connected to the district. This is still quite new to everyone at my school so just becoming more familiar with how to share and post and collaborate is huge for most of us including me. I think my next step is just to spend some time surfing through the site. I brought my school computer home. I have bookmarked the site. Now I just need time to become more familiar with how this all works...
