Challenge Three- Creating, Area of Irregular Figures

Challenge Two: Commenting

Well....I'm not sure what happened, but last week when I tried to comment, I kept getting a message that Google wouldn't allow me to do so.  Today, I tried the same thing and I got in.  Not sure why.

Challenge Two--Connecting

I am now subscribed to the DPS Technology Challenge Blog, Moviefone Blog blog, the Summit Church Blog and a fellow DPS/AIG blogger.

I am getting better at this...and learning LOADS!!! but it seems like a whole new world of information.  I had no idea how to insert a hyperlink, when given that direction, although I've done it many times before on my website.  Like anything else, practice seems to be the key.

Why I am participating in the DPS Technology Challenge

• This morning a colleague asked me to help her sign up for a DPS professional development activity.  She wasn't able to sign on to MLP and she was so frustrated!  It turned out that she was using her old password.  Then, when I helped her sign up for the course, I helped her check the status of her account.  It turned out she didn't know she needed to complete the evaluation for each of her activities.  So, I taught her how to do that.
• I have developed an Excel spreadsheet in order to inventory all of the math materials in our building.  It's so great because teachers can sort the information very easily.  I'm giving a presentation this afternoon, so they can see how this can be done from their own computers.
• Meanwhile, I have already helped 2 colleagues create their own websites this year on wix.com, and I created my own website (see link!) as well. 
• I realized today that I really like helping my coworkers with technology and I enjoy learning new things.  That's why I am taking the challenge!
