Upcycle

I love/hate pinterest.  It is blocked at work, and doesn't have a 'pin it' app out.  This limits me to browsing and re-pinning :(

Today I'm really interested in easy upcycling projects, so I'll just collect them here on my blog instead.

Technology Round Up

Hmm, I keep finding possible class website platforms, and then losing them.  I'll try to keep track of them here...

www.memrise.com  Love it! add vocab lists and definitions, students practice and earn points.

Kahoot! Create multiple choice quizzes, students use laptops or ipads instead of respnse devices. No student account needed!

www.mybrainshark.com: A site for adding voiceover to powerpoint slides


http://jcts.edmodo.com/home: an education specific site for posting assignments, grades, awarding badges, weblinks, sources, etc.  Not sure what the student interface is like.

Want to use:

www.Voicethread.com: $60/year teacher account, 50 students. $1 each adl. student.

livescribe pencasts: needs a special pen, which allows you to record notes as you use them.

Personal/could be used in classroom

Dogfish Head at George Keelys

Just a simple list of what I drank....

Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre: A deep mahogany, Belgian-style brown ale brewed with beet sugar, raisins and Belgian-style yeast. 

My favorite of the night

Blend two Dogfish Head favorites, add maple syrup and carbonate the mixture naturally. What do you get? 75 Minute IPA.

 Pangaea-- a slightly spicy ale, brewed with ingredients from each and every continent.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA.  At 18.5% ABV, this was the last brew of the night for me.
