Visuals using pictures

This picture is one that I am using on my future presentation and it is very visual.  I never would of thought of this to be every thought of. I found this picture from http://www.switched.com/2008/02/13/fast-food-of-the-future/.  I think this is a cool idea though. 

There are many types of visuals that are really neat.  I have been learning about how to go green in my capstone class and I have learned that there is a website that is called ecofriend.com  and there are many visual things on there that is very unique.  They are trying to figure out different ways to use renewable resources to make our planet greener.

Group PBL lesson

I had a fun time working on this pbl lesson.  We found a program called artsonia that is free to use for your classroom or also your school.  it is a way you can publish your students artwork in a digital form and not just posting them on the walls in your classroom or in your hallway.  It lets the parents be able to see what their child is doing throughout their years in school without having all the papers lying in a box at home.  We had the people in class have a picture of their own and let them edit it with 2 programs online that we found that were free which is always a good thing since we all are poor these days.  It is kind of cool how we get to live our lesson through our classmates.  I had fun participating the other group lessons from the other people.  It let me see what type of programs there were on the web that was free also.

Another Wedding post

Well I have a bunch of updates for this wedding.  1st one is that i have my dress!!! I got it last Friday and grandma came up on Saturday to see about alterations and all it needed was to put a bussal in the back and taking the bust in a half inch on each side but other than that the length of it was fine and everything.  Grandma thought it was pretty great how it turned out.  2nd the bridesmaid dresses are done so we don't have to deal with simply i do anymore now.  I DO NOT recommend them to anyone at all.  Grandma has made the mints already and she said she made over 500 so I think we will have plenty of mints.
