A Side Note

I am sitting in the library...trying to study for an Art History Final that is in a mere two hours. It's time for a break, and a side note.

I have been relishing in the fact I am a 22 year old student and single. I love it! Really, I do. Hard as I try to live it up (Yes, I have only been single for two months...), I cannot stop thinking about dating, love, and marriage. I feel almost bipolar. I have so many plans: Teach For America, Law School, Teaching High School Dance, Teaching at BYU...the options are endless, and yet, I'm such a hopeless romantic, I would give it all up in an instant to be in love. Really in love.

Okay, maybe I'm getting a little too carried away. I probably wouldn't give up everything. I guess what I'm trying to say is there is nothing like being in love. No amount of success in school or work could ever compare to being in love.

And now I will sigh and get back to Poussin and Vouet.

Another Cute One

I promise I don't spend all my time looking up cute weddings. My friend Bridget showed me this one...

I particularly love that they had the guests at their wedding paint them a giant picture!

Awesome Reception

I hope this isn't creepy, but I saw this video and I LOVE this reception. This is just for future reference. :)

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

I have learned SO MUCH in this class. It is so exciting to be familiar with so much technology. I feel like I can tackle anything that comes my way in the form of technology. I feel so empowered.

Some of my favorite things include:
My Class Website
My Video Project
Wikis
Learning How to Edit Music With Audacity

I feel like the most useful technology to implement into my class would be the class website. I know, that as a student, I really appreciate when I have easy access to information about classes I am taking on-line. I want my students to have this same easy access to learning.

I've enjoyed this class a lot! Have a GREAT summer everybody!

My Wiki Post

The following is the link to my lesson plan on the wiki page:
Music Editing with Audacity

This is the link to a great blog that has a lot of dance resources:
Dance Here

Wikis

I think wikis would be great in dance education because students are required to do so many group projects. A wiki would be a great way for students to communicate with one another to know how to coordinate and organize their group projects.

Also, a wiki would be a perfect place to post links to different dance resources and then start discussions on the resources for students in the class to participate in.

Sharing My Vast Knowledge

I decided to share what I learned about Cyberbullying with my sister who is the mother of four children.

I told my sister about the dangers of cyberbullying and how prevalent it is becoming among students in grades k-12. This information really surprised her. She, like me, had never realized the danger of social networking as far as bullying goes. She took this information really seriously and said that she is going to talk to her children about how they need to be respectful to other children over the internet, as well as tell her or their dad if anyone is ever rude to them online.
