Frisbee

Okay, Winston Writers/Motown Philadephia Sound Soldiers/Tru Leg Followers, this is it!!! The word for today is frisbee.  We will take turns choosing the word each day.  The one who chooses the word does the opject writing last so... I go last today.  Haha!  The one who responds first chooses the word tomorrow.  Can you tell I'm making this up as I go.  But seriously this is a great exercise for any kind of writing, kind of like lifting weights with our creative muscles.  Don't forget to use all 7 of your senses: sight, taste, smell, feel, hearing, organic, and kinesthetic. If you forgot what those last 2 senses were about, let me know in your post and I will post the information.... or call you.  Use the sense you are familiar with.  So... are you ready to begin?  Have at it J2, Sparks, and Atlas... the word... FRISBEE!

The Bird

One of the coolest things about taking online courses is connecting with other teachers and professors.  It seems it's more likely to happen in this environment than the physical classroom, maybe because there's a barrier that creates a comfort zone.  By the way, I wanted to add a picture to this blog it being my third blog ever and I didn't want to add a picture of me or somebody I knew.  The bird was the only thing I had on my computer.  The irony is I really don't like birds... at all.  Can you say phobia?

Meriwether Lewis... Wow!

I just finished previewing Meriwether Lewis Elementary School's educational blog.  It was quite extensive.  The question is, was it too much?  I say no!  Raise the bar!  Bring it on.  Check it out. It has everything from links to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter to podcast and weather and school closing updates.  This is what I'm aiming for at my school next year.  Check it out.  http://lewiselementary.org

Be Gentle...

This is my very first time blogging.  I'm an educator preparing to implement this technology in my classroom by utilizing it first in my personal passion of producing and marketing music and video products.  Any pointers out there?
