Today technology is great!

catch me on another day, and I might not thinks so, but after about 45 minutes of tweaking I finally got video up on the class blog. I wanted to run a test video, before I did anything with anyone else, so I put up a little clip of me doing one of the song/poems that we do each day before snack. I completely DREAD being in front of the camera and it will likely be the only time you will see me in a video (I much prefer the behind-the-scenes stuff), so enjoy it while it's there. You can check it out here.

These days I've been starting to think about all the useful things that I can do with the video capabilities in the classroom. I could put together a clip on our coming to school routines (hanging up jacket, signing in with clothespin, washing hands and starting the journaling), so that when we have new students they could watch the videos with their parents to know what to expect.

Speaking of new students, my 3AM class got a new student (first new one all year in that class) and in the interesting thing is that he is from England - that means that in my 3AM class I now have *3* students from England and in my 3PM class I have *3* students who are from India. Weird, huh?
