Spring Break--Just What I Needed!

The Spring Break was good for my mind.  It was a restful week, although I still have work to do, sometimes a break is just what you need.  I was feeling frenzied, and it crept up on me and I didn't really notice it.  Even though we had to work, it still felt like a mini vacation.  I think the nice weather also helped.

My Mini Vacation in my mind

 Monday, I was able to go to the Wimba Cafe, and I got some advice for my portfolio. Thanks!   I was having trouble uploading my Visual Design Project and need to convert it to a form that the Google Sites portfolio will accept.  I found a PowerPoint to video converter through a CNET search that I am trying as a free trial.  If it works, I will have to buy it to complete the video, but I do have a lot of PowerPoints I use for Science, so it may come in handy.  I was thinking that it would be useful for students when they are absent.  It is called Smart PPT Converter, but if anyone knows of a better one, please let me know.  I also found that I can upload a video to Google Docs and it will allow me to insert video on my Portfolio that way.  I am almost there.  I guess it just takes perseverance when it comes to technology!

I still have to present our theory Monday with Colleen and Kathy.  I feel like we are ready, but it still makes me anxious thinking about presenting online.  We are going to practice tomorrow for one last time.   I will be happy when it is all presented and then I can focus on my paper.  Kathy is going to come to Southern to present with us.  It will be great to meet her in person.  We have talked with everyone in the class and even seen pictures of some, but for me, it is so much better to have the face time with people.  I guess I am not totally in the new modern, technological age.   Funny how each generation has its own place in the modern world, and someday you wake up and new generations have taken your place.  Can't imagine what the kids will be doing when I'm 90.  Guess I'll just have to stick around to find out!
