On Carly's first day of eighth grade, I made her a first day of school sign! I also made her one for ninth grade but I didn't get to print it out because my printer was on the fritz and I couldn't :( But here is what it would have looked like had I gotten it printed! I also made signs for my niece and nephew. I uploaded it to Facebook and had so many compliments and questions about how I made the signs. I've made personalized signs for many of my friends and family. Here is your chance to get your very own personalized sign for the first day of school! Just click on the link below and download. Open it in PowerPoint and BAM! I have embedded the fonts I've used, but just in case here is the list: These are the fonts: Hello Heartache Life's a Beach KG No Regrets Sketch A Little Sunshine Janda Safe and Sound Do a Google search and install. So let's get started. Here's how it works: Open the file. Click in a Text Box and highlight the text you want to change...

Hello! Just a quick jot tonight to share my latest remake of my listening library. QR Codes! I have collected A LOT of books on CD over the years and the baskets of bags aren't very attractive on the counter. Here is a picture from the beginning of the year (before the children got their hands on them!) and before I ordered  more  a lot more from Scholastic. I'm a sucker for new books. It's just overflowing now.  So I'm giving it a makeover. Have you ever used QR codes in your classroom? They are so fun! The kids love to use the iPads and scan and listen to audiobooks. Here's how to get started: Put all the audiobooks onto your computer in .mp3 format. I use Windows Media Player. Insert the CD and open Windows Media Player. Click on Rip Settings, then Format, then choose MP3 Then click Rip CD. Once it's uploaded to your computer, you'll need to get a URL for the QR code. To get that, you'll need to upload the audio file to a file hosting site like  Dropb...

Hi guys! I'm freshly back from our Red Stick Roundup Teacher Blogger Meetup and once again it was fabulous! Stay tuned for a linky party! I was given the chance to present on everyday technology and I just wanted to share that presentation here with you! Click through it to learn about some things you may or may not know! Thanks and Happy Tech-ing!

Hi friends! Have you seen the latest trend on TpT? Rotating Quote pictures? They are popping up everywhere! Thought I would share with you how I made mine! I'm starting a new series on my blog for the school year: Tech Tip Tuesday! I'm hoping to post every Tuesday with a new Tech tutorial or a new tech software or platform to share with you and your classroom or personal life! So let's get started! First you have to make your designs. I use PowerPoint, but you can design in whatever program you are most comfortable with, as long as the finished dimensions are correct (about 600 pixels in width, height between 100-260 pixels).  Open PowerPoint. Insert a rectangle that is 7” x 3.5”. You will need to fill the rectangle with the same color as the quote section on TpT. To do that, go to the Format tab, then to Shape Fill, and click on More Colors. On the custom tab, make the fill color R 241 G 241 B 241. Click OK.    Clear the outline on the rectangle by clicking on the Format...

Hi guys! How's your summer going? Mine has started off with a bang and hasn't stopped. I'm linking up today with The Primary Punchbowl to share my classroom move this coming fall. Many members of the Punchbowl are changing up jobs this year. Elisabeth from Literacy and Lattes wrote a great anchor post HERE so check it out. Well my principal had been asking me since October if I would take the Video Production job at my school. My master's is in educational technology so it is my dream to eventually teach technology or coordinate technology somewhere. I put it off and put it off and kept telling myself "There's no place like first, there's no place like first!" "I can't add past 30!" "I'm so comfortable here!" "I don't know anything about Video Production!"  "Sixth graders are so big!"  "What do you mean they don't like stickers?" Sooooooo.....I thought and prayed and thought and prayed...
