New Teaching Tools!

I am feeling relieved and accomplished!  Now I can focus on my new teaching tools.  I am excited to use my blog with my students and parents to keep them up to date and involved with what we are doing weekly in class.  I also hope to use the pod casts in some upcoming science projects.  Typically, I would have assigned PowerPoint presentations.  I feel that the students will enjoy making the pod casts much more!  I may even use a screen cast to give some of the directions for the pod cast!  (Who am I kidding?  That may be pushing it!)  Seriously, I am walking away with many new tools, and I am going to use them.  At least my students will get to benefit from all of this hard work!
