Support tools such as word, excel, and power point are convenient and necessary in today's technology driven world. Convenience is the word once the user has learned the nuances of the these tools. Students seem to be very intuitive users as they are learning this at younger and younger ages. It is very common for grade school students to help their parents or older relatives learn these technological aids.

Greetings, my fellow High school educators. I worked with two ladies who are not part of our group on this rubric. The whole concept of a rubric is for a well defined criteria to meet the standard, benchmark, or skill that the students are working towards. Here is the rubric we created in class today. Enjoy.

CONCEPT MAP REFLECTION
Dominic used a concept map to explain the Navajo clan system. In his presentation, he went  on to explain that the clan system is a maternal system, meaning that the child(ren) follow the mothers clan. he also said that a Navajo person tell what clan they where born into and for what clan he was born for.
Crystal used her map to explain the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. She explained to us that he was born in Florence in 1492. I was unaware that he the Virtruvian Man was a painting that he created. I think her map could be used to explain the beauty of both artist and artwork.
Coryann was the map i really enjoyed, I was aware it was for the nuch younger age range. But the way she structured it made it a map to be used for almost any age group. she used lots of pictures from around the world to show how much hot air balloons are celebrated and how much fun they are for everyone.
Markita completely blew my mind with her concept map, she taught us the low down of DECA. I really had no idea how complex the entire system is. I sat there with mouth agape the entire presentation. it was packed with lots and lots of information. I think what stuck out the most was the competitions. They sound really intense and even harder to win.
Litzia presented a concept map on the ecosystems. I was unaware of how much the ecosystem plays with everything around us, for example the more trees we cut down the harder it is to obtain fresh oxygen. but also i didn't know how much the ecosystem tied in with one another. I also was not even aware that the sun play an extremely important role in each and every ecosystem. I was impressed with this concept map.

So in class we were introduced to websites for teachers and students. I found two in particular that stood out to me.
 The first website I was introduced to was makemeagenius.com.
I was drawn to this website because of all the useful resources it has for the elementary kids.
The resources on there range from power points to fun fact on a wide variety of topics. and the best thing is, is that the language on the site is easy for the kids to understand.
The other site I was drawn to was www.discoverykids.com
I was taken about to this site because of the fun learning games. I know educational sites are in fact for educational purposes, but I like how discovery kids made the learning process both fun and easy for the younger kids to enjoy.
While in class I introduced my classmates to www.teachertube.com.
I chose this site because it is super easy to navigate. But aside from that, it has a variety of videos that are beneficial to almost all subject areas. they have videos ranging from math to science and they also have videos for parents. so its a great for students, parents and teachers.

Finally got this to cooperate!
