Blog Post #1: Resourceful Blog

I found a blog, created by an Elementary School teacher Kelly Mikesell, that has different ideas of lessons and activities I can do in my future elementary classroom setting.  Her blog has different resources where teachers can get ideas from and use.  For example, she posted some of the activities for different content areas like writing, reading, math, science, and etc. that I think can easily be implemented in any classroom.  She also posted short video clips of her classroom arrangement, centers, and activities she did with her students.
I think Mikesell's blog can be helpful in my future teaching career since I can borrow the activities she does with her students to make learning more enjoyable and fun instead of boring.  For example, I really liked her idea of using Math Tub that allowed students to play and learn instead of making them do paper work.  Not only that, but she has other teachers' website links that I can visit to get more ideas for different lessons and activities.

Hi, everyone this is the website I found regarding copyright.

About Me

HI!!! I'm Lori and I'm really new to blog...  
I live in Honolulu, Hawaii and trying to learn about technology in the ETEC class I'm taking this semester as one of the required courses at UH for Elementary Education.  My life seems like it's getting busier day by day, but I'm hanging in there.  

I like to sleep as much as I can because I just LOVE sleeping!  However, I'm trying to get myself to the gym to get some fitness and to be healthier.  I'd love to go snorkeling but I just haven't had a chance to do it yet with the cold weather...

I don't really have a favorite website since I am not usually on the computer except when I have to do my homework.  However, I find it fun to visit some of my friends' websites to see what's going on with their lives since I don't really get to talk to them that much with how busy things are going with me.

This is it!  =)
