trying to comment on Jane's blog

I tried to post a comment on Jane's blog about one of my student's showing me the "giant jumping spider", 4 feet tall, etc.  It turned me down flat, sad face.

I found this a bit frustrating.  I am definitely not an auditory learner and listening to someone slows me down immensely.  Once I quit listening and started reading, it went much better.  I did not find anything relevant to math, but did find things that would work in health.  We would not do extended analysis in health however.  It is much more relevant to history/social studies.  I think this will help me most as a senior exhibition mentor.  I will be better able to direct the students toward relevant visuals.

blogging to classmates

I keep trying to post stuff, and got blocked out of comments on most peoples' blogs.  It happened the first week after class.  I thought it was because I was added late and would improve.  But, now it is worse.

search engines

frustrated, found the first couple answers, then could find nothing, can't figure out how to move out of slides and find any actual information

I need to use this article next time I am in the computer lab with the kids.
1.  Do my own web search
2.  Make a guide for them to use
3.  Define terms for them
4.  Give them examples of credibility
5.  Remember:  no wonder it is so hard for them to do their text notes for senior exhibition!  I don't know this stuff, I doubt they do.
