Mimio?

mimio_classroom_450

Do you have a mimio? Or a smart board?  ‘Cause thanks to USCellular, I’m gettin’ one! Very excited about this, but the amount of extra time I have this year could fit into a thimble.  Seriously, there are not enough hours in the day – especially when you’re a person who needs 8 hours of sleep. (I wish I could get by with 4… but it is not a pretty sight, trust me) How have you incorporated it into your classroom? What kinds of activities, lessons, ect. have you found to be most successful?  No one in my school has this type of technology – in fact, no one had even heard of a Mimio before I started talking about it – so there is no one to compare notes or bounce ideas off of. In fact, my success or failure may determine as whether any one else in the district gets anything similar. Budget cuts, not value added, yadda, yadda.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
