Students and Gmail accounts

I was able to set up my students with Gmail accounts, but I think there is some type of filter on the district lan or Google itself that limits the number of accounts you can do.
My next step is to try and set up a google group site for all of my students to turn in their homework.

Resizing Fonts in a Powerpoint

I helped the DRD training instructor resize the fonts in her powerpoint so that when we see it on the big screen, we can actually read it. And when the handouts print out we can read the fine print. I hope it works out.

Student Gmail Accounts

Working to get my students to pass the benchmarks next week. Most of them already have a gmail account. We are using the account to send summaries to each other. We are hoping to increase the writing, English and especially the reading with a high interest, very different approach.

Next step is to have them create their powerpoints in Google documents and sent them to each other. Would you send you friend a piece of junk?

Working on DRD blogsite

Happy Thanksgiving!
This is some of the new stuff I am trying!

I am working on a DRD blogsite for my middle school Dyslexia students. I hope it will help them be more successful with reading.

Here is the link. http://jonesdrdreading.blogspot.com/

I just started this, and I hope it will be a good tool to help my students be successful.

Catch Up on my Fries, Please!

Rough 2nd Six Weeks

I am still reeling from all of the changes that I have had to deal with. It has been over a month since I last had the energy and time to blog. Let me just say that the answer to how is yes. Thank you Peter Block!

Rough 1st 6 Weeks

I got a lot of good stuff going on, but I have some students who need a lot of attention. The big difference between this year and last year is that I am actually teaching more than managing. There are still some things that are not right, but I still have to find a way to help all of my students be successful.
