It was hard to keep up!<br /><br />During my session today, I Skyped in Mrs. Morris so everyone here got to learn about the benefits of blogging from her. She was a big hit! <br /><br />As I said to Mr. Mannell, we are living at an incredible time!<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Mrs. Y♥llis<br /><br />Mrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-24545621197193887142012-10-15T20:04:40.959-07:002012-10-15T20:04:40.959-07:00@ Leah,
How nice to hear from you! Your wonderful...@ Leah,<br /><br />How nice to hear from you! Your wonderful teacher, Mrs. Morris, was a big part of my presentation today! She did a fabulous job explaining all the benefits of blogging. The teachers in attendance really enjoyed learning from her! Be sure to give her a special thank you and hug from me!<br /><br />Yes, I have been to New York City before. However, it was probably more than a decade ago! It was fun to be in such a large urban center. I have heard that expression that New York never sleeps, I think that might be true. There seems to be places open 24 hours all over! <br /><br />No, Mr. Yollis did not go with me to New York. My time in NYC was spend at the Google Teacher Academy, and we were not allowed to bring guests.<br /><br />Have you ever been to a big urban center? Would you like to live in the city?<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-86708613381836643252012-10-15T19:57:03.576-07:002012-10-15T19:57:03.576-07:00@ Mr. Mannell,

There was so much covered!<br /><br />Ah yes, the overhead projector! I had one of those when I first started. Actually, I had a chalkboard when I started, and the overhead was like a dream come true!<br /><br />The tools I learned about at the GTA are so rich and have the potential to connect classes from all over the world. At the presentation today, our superintendent showed a video using Google Goggles. It was beyond comprehension. We are living at a special time!<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-52729833176224482182012-10-15T19:40:28.872-07:002012-10-15T19:40:28.872-07:00@ Tracy,

I'm keeping note ...Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /><br />I'm keeping note of this post because of its ideas. <br /><br />From my earliest teaching years with overhead projector, cassette player and 8mm movie projector, there's been a place in my life for technology for students. The current technological capabilities allow me, although retired from full time teaching, to be more connected than anytime previously. It’s that wish to be more connected that’s driving commercial technology development.<br /><br />Society is driving changes in technology and in turn society is changing because of technology. How else could we sit in a classroom and be working with classes on the other side of the world? <br /><br />What will come next? Better, faster ways of communicating and sharing seems a pretty good possibility. <br /><br />@RossMannell<br />Teacher (retired), N.S.W., Australia<br />rmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-9782301256310707822012-10-14T20:52:37.714-07:002012-10-14T20:52:37.714-07:00Hi Mrs. Yollis,
Thank you so much for all of thes...Hi Mrs. Yollis,<br /><br />Thank you so much for all of these amazing resources! I've learned so much about blogging from you, and now am learning more about Google. I've never used the "Research" tool before, and it is so easy and so powerful! I've also never known what the script gallery was, and am overwhelmed with the power it has. I spent some time on the <a href="http://www.youpd.org/doctopus" rel="nofollow">DOctopus</a> which is simply amazing for managing Google docs in groups and projects! And then found the <a href="http://www.youpd.org/formmule" rel="nofollow">Google Form that will send an automatic email</a> to those needed. The example here is for behavior or for health, but it can be for so many other things too, such as booking parent-teacher conferences. Amazing!<br /><br />I also love the Hero Project! What a fabulous collaboration!<br /><br />Thanks so much!<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.com
