Thing 15

I have another teacher that I work with who has been doing this conversion from a word document to pdf for over a year now.  I'm not sure what convertor he uses, but ZamZar was very easy to use.  It did take a while for the e-mail to get to me... Here is the e-mail with the link.  http://screencast.com/t/j7GXgDP52ra

I will use this conversion to post my notesheets and worksheets on-line for my kids to access and print at home.  I will also use this to create copies of worksheets to display on my new digital projector!  It will be so nice to not have to run down and create an overhead...

I used Media-Convertor to convert a you-tube video that my son had made.  I converted it to a wmv file that I can now e-mail to his grandma, she doesn't know how to find him on you-tube... Well, it's just a lot easier to send via e-mail.  There were many options for the conversion, but I have no idea what they are all used for.  I won't paste the whole video: http://screencast.com/t/fAafPgxpbzK6  Which one would I use to put the video to my i-pod?  The new version is not very good quality, but it still get's the point across.  I'm not quite ready to record my lessons to publish to the web, but obviously, this is coming... and this is a way I can make the video available for all my students.


I have been working on Google calendar for quite some time.  I have created a calendar for my FST class and have embeded it into my weebly website.  Unfortunately it is not showing up correctly.  I will continue to play around with it... Weebly has a set size for the text box and it is not letting the whole calendar show up.  Also, the assignments have changed dates on their own.  The assignments moved back one day.

Here is the link to the web-site page: http://mathfordawgs.weebly.com/fst.html

I use Google Calendar from my son's school to keep up with his homework so I am very excited to share this with my students and their parents.  I will keep working on the fitting, but I may have to set up a different web-site if the weebly won't let me format it better.
