CHRISTMAS SONG PICTURE GAME

Thank you to JAMES STANUSZEK of Ohio for creating the illustrations 
and to"ROBIN WOOD" of Missouri, for a copy of the Game!!

To play this game, you can print the picture sheet right off this site. Robins says to give people a sheet of blank paper and a pencil to write their answers on, then give them 5 minutes to figure out as many as possible. They can not talk to each other or copy. She usually gives prizes to the top two or three winner and a cassette of Christmas songs to the person with the worst score.

Blogging

For this entire semester we’ve been asked to blog at least twice a week mostly about information we found regarding education or for those who were there for kinesiology.  I enjoyed having class about technology with more than just education majors in the class because we were able incorporate the same tools, to other majors.  I also enjoyed reading blogs done by others in the class.  Their perspective on education or others aspects of life kept the reading interesting and lively.   Many others posted random thoughts of the day or about how their week was going.  I’m still trying to get over the fear of putting personal information online.

            I started out blogging about The Citizen Schools, a system in Boston where students learn through apprentice ships how to get jobs, and cars, etc.  However I soon learned that I needed to research more about different educational features.  That’s when I experiment with my Blog and found different additives to the page, like games, and the sunset of the day.  I have also found several other blogs about the field of special education that I find extremely useful. 

            I did however find one blog that we’ve talked about several times that I found to be quite disturbing.  Tardblog.com is a blog making fun of students with disabilities, but the Google search says it’s meant to help parents of disabled children.  I found it to be a very offensive and almost rude at the suggestive things that were displayed on the page. 

            I enjoyed blogging while in class, finding interesting articles and neat little lessons for classes.  I however had a hard time putting anything personal online.  I’ve had one too many run ins with creeps chatting me, etc.  Therefore, will I continue to blog after EDT 400?  Only time will tell.  I now have to power / knowledge to create a blog if it ever deem necessary.  I’m not quite sure if I’d ever be able to use it in a classroom with special education students, but I myself could make a blog about my classroom allowing parents access.  This would help the parents feel part of their students’ life at school.
