With some time off this summer, I have been spending time collecting resources that I think may be useful in my future classroom. I am proud that I have started to somewhat organize everything. I discovered the OneNote program on my computer and have been using it to try and organize my life (somewhat).
I have separate "folders" for different thematic topics that I could possibly use in the future, as well as folders with songs, and helpful hints that I can look back at.
I've also used it to make my grocery lists, and organize my list for sales and what coupons I need.

When we go back to school, I hope I will be able to further utilize it to help contain my lecture notes and "great ideas"

Photoshop Class

My product from last night's class on Photoshop.


Here's the original. I didn't like seeing the A/C unit behind her and wanted to surround her in flowers.
