Getting to know each other, part II

You'll see above the cool slide show that is posted in a post by itself... this is from an awesome website called Animoto. Using animoto, a few pictures, some text, and a selection of free music, it takes about 15 minutes to create this moving, exciting, and super fun slide show. Forgive the typos in the animoto - I was trying to get it done quickly to show the kids and I didn't proof it before hitting "create"!

Enjoy!

Getting to know each other

One of our first technology activities this year was to use a fun, free website for image manipulation called Big Huge Labs. It's a place to make fun and school-related quick projects... everything from "baseball" cards to "magazine covers"... we did a "name badge" and offically marked the beginning of PGP.

It's a free site with no requirement to log in. Play around if you want to! The link is here.

PGP Blog Purpose

The purpose of this PGP blog is to provide a place to store and explain some of the technology projects we do during PGP. I thought it might be a good idea to provide the blog to you (the PGP parents) so that when your kiddos come home saying we did a project and it's on the blog, you'd know where to go to find it!

This blog, while public in the sea of millions of blogs out there, does not have any identifying information other than a photo of your child and maybe a first name here or there. The district supports us using blogs as means of communication and project display. I feel completely secure posting our projects here, and hope that you do, too. I have made the blog unsearchable on the internet and through blogger, so the only way one would know it exists is to know the actual address of the blog.

From time to time, I'll post what we've been doing in PGP and provide the actual project or a link to it when available. Feel free to leave a comment or 2 if you like!

Enjoy!
