TOOL #3

Just spent like 30 minutes making dice on Big Huge Lab from my Bahamas pictures just to find out that you PRINT it!! I thought it was going on my blog. I quit...for today.

TOOL #2- Building Community

I LOVE the idea of being a part of a PLN! I mean who wouldn't? Who wouldn't want to grow and learn from other teachers!? It's like FREE professional development from the comfort of your couch!

I really like the idea of 'tagging' your comments for easy reference! This is helpful for the creater of the blog and the followers!

Do you have to be following a blog to comment on it?

I would like to follow Cool Cat Teacher, but I spent some time on her blog and only saw how to subscribe to her newsletter. The other blogs I have visited have a little 'follow' button to click. I couldn't find one on Vicki's...thoughts?

I also need to figure out how to access the 11 Tools Community of bloggers. As of now I follow/will comment on Chidgey's 11 Tools, Cooper's How I Spent My Summer, Snyder's Fairy Principal, Johnson's Journey, and Dunavin's Blogs a Blastin!

Hey Karen! She (my avatar) is in the upper right hand corner of my blog! I can see her...I hope you can too! :)

So...TOOL 1

I guess I have a blog now! I'm a little anxious about how tough these 11 tools are going to be, but very excited to work through them! I can't wait to make them work in my classroom this fall! I heart my avatar!!
