// Monday //
//** Call us the "Busy Bees" **//

This week is filled with a variety of activities and events happening all at once. Pay special attention to what you need to accomplish. Use your time wisely to meet deadlines. Lend a helping hand if you notice others who need assistance.

//** Everyone: Electronic Tool Kit (Glog) **//

Using the Web 2.0 tool, Glogster, create an electronic poster that stores all of your "tools" for the TEKS/concept/topic you plan to cover.


 * View your teacher's blog and follow directions for creating your glog.

NOTE: This is a self-directed activity. You will need to explore and experiment with this web 2.0 tool to learn how to use all of its features. This means you will need to follow directions that are given and add some trial-and-error attempts to complete the required tasks. The excuse, "I don't know how to do this," will not be accepted. Self-direction is an essential quality of educators. If you feel uncomfortable with this experience, you may need to rethink the decision to become a teacher as it is a career that involves initiative, drive, and determination.
