The Amazing Race!

Petro and Gabriela (and their parents) went on an Amazing Race for a birthday surprise.  Here is the opening title sequence.

Petro the Pie Man!

Petro got selected to participate in Double Dare at the Nickelodeon Hotel last month.  Here he is finding a cherry in a pie - without using his hands!

Pirates, Mateys!

When cousins get together, fun things happen!  We made this video in one afternoon.  We had a ball!

REFLECTION

Looking back

I can see the vastness of what I learned

In this past semester.

Every week, it was if I was a sponge

Now I see  
How each week we added to our ASSURE

And how it came to an end.

What will I take with me

When I teach virtually

What will I remember most

When I’m on my own?

I will keep

Multiple intelligences theory close

It’s what I believe in

And also

I will teach my students ‘bout copyright

And promote communication.

What will I take with me

When I teach virtually

What will I remember

When I’m teaching ?

Web apps and virtual tools

Can be used with online schools

Making lesson content more

Interactive too?

There’s a part that we might need to include:

to write the lesson how it will be viewed.

But this experience

In this class, in a sense,

Was the perfect culmination

Of my degree

Building upon my strengths

Adding to my knowledge banks

I feel I am well prepared

To teach class online.

I feel I am well prepared

To teach class online.

This is a great website / wiki site for the ASSURE model for instruction.  Lesson Plan Models  There are some other great links at the bottom as well.

Change Story

Hi again,

For one of my classes, we have to create a Change Story - take a familiar story and change it in some way, or take a moment in history and ask, "What if?"  My Change Story is actually the combination of four stories and an expression:

• Peter and the Wolf
• The Three Little Pigs
• Little Red Riding Hood
• The Boy Who Cried Wolf
• "A wolf in sheep's clothing"

Below, you will find my change story, called Peter and the Wolf.  Enjoy!
