Word Search Puzzle
FCAT Explorer
I found this image today. Since checking out FCAT Explorer is one of your assignments for next week, it seemed appropriate to share this poster.
Remember, you are taking these FCAT courses as if you were a student, not the smart adult you are.
Be sure to get some wrong to see what happens. These will take some time so don't wait until the last minute. And whatever you do, "Don't Freak Out!"
Teacher Personality Quiz
Office Depot is offering a Teacher Personality Quiz. What kind of teacher are you? It's only 5 questions long....and I've got to say, they were spot on with me!
Together with Expo (the marker and dry erase board people), Office Depot is also sponsoring a classroom makeover contest. View the finalists, read what the teacher-finalists and their students think would make for a great classroom, and vote for your choice. You can vote through March 8. Who knows? Someday it may be YOUR turn for a classroom makeover!
Word Hearts
I happened upon this generator tonight. Just in time for Valentines!
You enter words separated by commas and it will generate a heart for you.
You can change the color, the font, the background...Have fun!
Free Online Jeopardy Game Template
Here's another tool for you to use with students to help them review information: JeopardyLabs.
"JeopardyLabs allows you to create a customized jeopardy template. The games you make can be played online from anywhere in the world. Building your own jeopardy template is a piece of cake. Just use the simple editor to get your game up and running. Not interested in building your own jeopardy templates? Well that’s cool too. You can browse other jeopardy templates created by other people."
I created a jeopardy-like game just for you based on Chapters 1-4 in your text. In fact, I created a second one to be sure you know your stuff! I thought it might be helpful to review before teh quiz. Play alone, or get together with a classmate or two. You know how to play Jeopardy. You see the answer. What is the question?
If you get the answer right, click on the plus (+) sign at the bottom of the page. If you get it wrong, well...you know!

Google Challenge
A Twitter message (technically, I guess, a "tweet") led me to a class in S. E. Asia that is learning more about technology in the classroom. The instructor, Jeff Utecht, offers students a Google Quiz. How are your searching skills now that you've completed the searching assignment for eme2040? Take the quiz to find out!
Here are some other search challenges:

Beyond Google:VIrtual Cupcakes for Cancer Re$earch
There are a lot of fun sites on the Internet, and many that can raise awareness and cash for good causes. For example, Electrolux (yep, the vacuum cleaner and appliance people) has a special site where you can build a cupcake and send it to a friend.
You choose the flavor, decorate it, and add a personal message. Then email it to anyone who deserves a little treat, or save it to your desktop to brighten your day.
When you send a virtual cupcake to a friend or loved one this February, Electrolux will donate a $1 to The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (with a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $30,000) as part of its $500,000 commitment to help fight ovarian cancer.
Calorie-free, too! I made this one just for you!
How Not to Use Powerpoint
According to Don McMillan, here is a humorous yet insightful viewpoint on how people (teachers included) should not be using PowerPoint.
There's a simlar one "Stop Killing Your Students with Powerpoint" at Teacher Tube. Teacher Tube was created in response to the popular You Tube. You Tube's content is user generated and subjects are varied, while Teacher Tube is generated mostly by educators to teach students and fellow teachers. Unfortunately, You Tube is blocked in most schools and districts, but many of the instructional videos posted on You Tube can be found on Teacher Tube. You can also post your own instructional videos there!

Kids and Technology
Kids love technology! But are they over-reacting? Acting? Or genuinely happy? Could you make them this happy with technology in your lessons? Watch as they squeal with delight (and more!)
Technology: Smaller and Cheaper
There is little doubt that computers are getting smaller and smaller...and they cost less, too! But here's a REALLY small computer: The Mactini!
