21st centruy skills using Glogster

Hello everyone!

I have used Glogster several times in my biology classes.  I (and the kids) enjoy displaying our work creatively, enabling us to bring alive our ideas through text, video and voice control.  It provides a nice way of displaying information and is muc more intersting than a worksheet!  So, for the credibility and reliability, it's all good!

Giving them the opportunity to express themselves through text, font and video really allows for ownership of their work.  I do this with my Interactive Notebook.  The kids 'love to hate it' in that they love the opportunity to learn this way, but it is a lot of work!

Oh well.  Nothing worth having is ever easy to achieve.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have BINGO!

Hello everyone! 


Here is the BINGO challenge 165 for the Magnolia Inspiration blog! I created a flip flop gift bag for this week.  I really like how it turned out--I had to be a little creative with the "pins" as I had none.  The 'pins' were made with blue wire and hot glue globs on top.  I added glitter to the tops to add bling.  I also didn't have any starfish to compliment my beach scene, so hot glue again!  I pulled off my magnetic mat after it dried and added glitter, too.

The flowers were cut from my spellbinders and the flip flop is from the Pazzles.   I used a transparency on the left of Tilda to add some beach grass.  I wish I had a sandcastle scene!  Oh well.  Always something else I would love to buy!  


Didn't realize when I was sizing it, but it's a full 8.5 shoe--big enough for me and my oldest daughter Emily! LOL!


Thanks for looking!  Any constructive feedback that you may leave would be appreciated!  


Have a great week!

Hello creative world! I have switched gears to blog my creative passions.  I LOVE La La Land crafts and Magnolia, anything that can be colored with copic markers!

I am a newbie to Copics, and have learned all I know from YouTube videos.  Yes, I am part of the YouTube generation.

I am a mother of two beautiful girls, ages 5 and 9.  I also teach high school biology in a rural community.  I am also an AVID elective teacher for a wonderful group of kids.  I have been a teacher for 8 years and prior to teaching I worked at our state's animal disease diagnostic laboratory in the microbiology and virology departments

Because I am a teacher, I am always on the lookout for functional crafts--you know, those that you can decorate AND use once you are finished?

I love making minibooks and have most recently gotten into card creations.  I think this is my new flavor because it's nearly instantaneous gratification--something that can be finished in a few hours.  Yes, it does take me a few hours to create a card!  Hopefully, my rate will increase soon.
