The How-To Geek Guide to Audio Editing: The Basics - How-To Geek - 0 views

  •  
    I like using audacity for audio files. You can imagine perhaps creating audio files of key course content so students with reading disabilities can listen while they read. A great project for parent and grandparent volunteers btw!

    I used to do a lot of oil painting. I got so I was painting too fast. I painted this picture of a Newfoundland dog in about an hour. I switched to watercolor painting which is a rather unforgiving medium and requires me to think a bit. I will go back to oils eventually. I like painting because the better I get at it the more challenges it presents. It is never boring

    My older brother is an artist. I have no talent in that area at all! I joke with him and tell him that he took all the artistic talent from my mom before I even had a chance! The pictures are wonderful. How did you get a picture posted? I am not understanding that yet.
  •  
    Ha! I just figured it out! By accident, but I got it!
  •  
    Dear Renee - Glad you figured out how to post the pictures. Isn't this fun? You have more talent than you think. It just depends on if a person is interested or not. I bet you do other crafts. Lory
  •  
    This is a fun way to keep in touch. I just asked my husband if I do any crafts and he lovingly said "no." :) I really am not crafty. I love to bake, so if that is a craft, than I am golden! I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone. Next weekend should be fun!

      Great book! It shows the pettiness of young girls.
  • Stop Picking On Me

      I have this book too. I really like some of the activities in it. I also purchased the Teacher's Edition to go along with it.

  • The Ugly Duckling
    • Renee Gogolewski
       
      I read this as a child and I loved it. I never thought of this as a "bully" book.
    • Amy Zimmermann
       
      I never did either but now that I think about the book, it really does show bullying behavior of making fun of the "duckling" and leaving him out. I just covered bullying again with one of my groups. Would you believe that all 15 girls have been bullied?
    • Renee Gogolewski
       
      I would love to read this again. Our daughter was a victim of bullying last year, it was miserable! It makes me mad as a parent but also very sad for the one who is doing the bullying. An eye opening experience.
  • Crash by Jerry Spinelli
    • Jill Vivant
       
      We are currently reading this book in our 6th grade class, a very good book for that age group!

      I love this book. My children love the Berenstain Bairs. It's great to see a fictional character go through these situations so they know how to handle it if it happens to them.

    I need to bulk up my library! This is a topic that needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis to keep the topic fresh in their minds.

Huckleberry Finn Censored - 1 views

  •  
    Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use
  •  
    I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?
  •  
    I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.

    I joined! Then I got busy searching for coupons and realized I was supposed to be doing homework....oops!
  •  
    That is funny Jill! I get caught up in looking at deals too. In fact, right now I should be doing housework and on to school stuff and yet, I am couponing and goofing around on Diigo! Glad you liked the link.
  •  
    I also love to save! (even more now that I am unemployed!) I also love another website "pocketyourdollars.com" - I will add to my library and you can check it out!
  •  
    Isn't this a great sight! I am just starting to get the hang of couponing! My friend has it down to a science. I some how end up spending more! I'm working on it!

Top 10 Best Minnesota State Elementary Schools - 5 views

  •  
    This is a great tool to find out how different schools and districts in the area are ranked.
  •  
    This is neat. I see the school that I live by is ranked #434 and dropped 150 places from last year. It was interesting to compare it to the schools in the surrounding area.
  •  
    That is really great! good to check on my own kids and when I set out looking for work...
