Long time.....

WOW, it has been a long time since the last post. Tons has happened but I'll start in the present.

Joey has been accepted to Bowling Green State University and Tiffin University so far! We are waiting on word from the University of Akron. This is an exciting time and a fearful time. I never paid much attention to others comments about how it goes so fast......that is an understatement. Joey is a young man now, heading towards an unbridled future. Exciting for all of us but there are worries as well.

Our household is busy as ever, with much going on having a senior in the home. We continue to geocache and chase Sadie around the yard with the frisbee. She is truly an amazing dog!

Vacation Planning

We are in the process of prepping for the largest vacation in our lives. A trip to Alaska! Fun, to be sure, BUT ....the demands of all the necessary things that must be one are overwhelming. Work things, home things, clothing needs, film, cameras, batteries, planning excursions, passports.... How much money to take? Will it ever end? Will we ever be ready? Just what will we forget? All this and Science Fair project completion to boot. Sixth grade wasn't this tough when I was back in Urbana at East Elementary! The years have demanded more. Oh well, at least I'll know exactly how much water content there is in Apples, Bananas, and Oranges! (BTW, dried oranges stink!) More later!

There is no doubt that today’s students are more motivated and interested in using digital storytelling just like any other multimedia. It offers us, educators, a new and a very 21st century way to captivate students’ attention, facilitate learning, reach shy students and increase collaboration and community in a classroom. It’s a great way to give voice to ourselves and our students in an out of the classroom walls.
