That was pretty easy. I hope that others (Is 23 Things a part of the Dharma Initiative?) find it just as easy. For some unknown reason I did not have to use the verification that was referred to in Jim's short video. I like the slide show I chose because I am the ACT/MME Testing Coordinator for MHS this year. I just completed (with much help from counselors and secretaries)all of the non-testing documentation with 470 11th graders. Now I have to do a staff training session for those that will be room supervisors and test proctors. I wish I could figure out how to show the slide show to our junior class. The ACT/MME is a huge part of their year.
I will try to go to Slide Share frequently and look for more slide shows. It might even get to the point where I will try to upload and share my own presentation. I think back to the class in college in which we were taught about the latest and greatest technology...overhead projectors, slide projectors,chalkboards, movie projectors, etc. Having to demonstrate our ability to operate them. Who could've imagined that someday I would be considering sharing a powerpoint presentation that would be available to anyone in the world. Man, I love this stuff.
Here is a great quote from Dave Barry about technology.
“One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can actually travel ahead in time and shave beard hairs that don't even exist yet.”
A side note to this post is that I learned how to hightlight words and link them to a website. Man, I love this stuff.

Did you happen to see the Simpsons episode this past weekend? It was on standardized testing. GREAT STUFF!
ReplyDeleteThey now have full episodes for streaming on the simpsons website. The episode is "How the test was won."
ReplyDeleteFunny you mention the Dharma Initiative because "23" is one of "THE NUMBERS" from Lost! Coincidence? No such thing...
ReplyDeleteBTW - I did my student teaching at MHS way back in 1993, in math with Crystal and Cindy. I remember your classroom was filled with the coolest posters!
