• Cool things I've planned lately

  1. I spent about 3 hours during my workday last Friday creating not ONLY an example for my next wiki project (this time for Spanish I), but also a 30-slide, step-by-step powerpoint on how to create the wiki.  This, I believe is MUCH cooler than grading.
     
     
  2. I figured out how to semi-legally use Audacity on my iTunes (it involves a headset with a mike as well as headphones) to make clips that contain conspicuous object pronouns, and THEN I began making a quiz game of said clips (only 3).  The game would be much cooler if I had a real SMARTboard, but I'm working on doing something perhaps a bit Jeopardy-ish, wherein they can select the category by artist (though most only know one of them).
     
     
  3. I wrote a story in Spanish using half of the vocabulary words on the impending Spanish II midterm.  It's about my 3rd period class, specifically one student affectionately known as "Twitchy" for his pencil-tapping problem, and a Twilight-obsessed high-flier.  I intend to write something about 6th period wrote a dialogue featuring the class Romeos and one of the more down-to-earth ladies from the class (who I THINK has escaped their advances thus far) with the remaining vocabulary words to achieve maximum cool points.
