Creating Classroom Communication

Here is my first attempt at creating a GOOGLE FORM.... it was very easy! I thought this would be a great form that any teacher can put into their classroom webpage.

This form is geared towards a kindergarten classroom where the family members come in and drop off/ pick up the students.

Do you think you could use this in your classroom? What changes or add-ons can you suggest?

Diigo... Where'd You Go?

I have been having problems with Diigo. In the beginning it was easy (isn't it always?). With a few simple steps, I was able to add Diigo to my toolbar. I clicked away, adding sites here and there. I especially liked blogs created by fellow kindergarten teachers. I continued for about two weeks. Then, while reviewing Diigo in my EDUC519 course, I realized I had been doing it wrong. I had been clicking the Diigo button when I was on a site I liked. But I was unaware of the following steps regarding labeling and saving.....All of my sites were gone... or never there to begin with.


So, here is my new Diigo account. It is slowly growing again. Hopefully it will help out teachers who are looking to find more creative ideas for their classrooms, or in search of educational information. Enjoy!

A Digital Day

I am creating a digital story for my classroom. I wanted to make something that could be used more than once, so I decided on
 " A Day in the Life of a Mount Olive     Kindergartener." 
 I can use this digital story during orientation for the parents and then during the first days of school for the students. It can also be edited to update pictures and present again at the end of the year for graduation. 

A few slides need to be added. It is missing slides for the classroom door, name cards, math, guided reading, read aloud, parent pick up, and a goodbye slide.
