Well, I started the final project and decided to try a portfolio. I am thinking about creating one as an exit option for next spring. I started a portfolio in Google sites, but for this project I am using MyeBook. I spent one marathon day with a laptop on my porch and almost have the project done. The motivation was... I will be going to Florida in a few days, and I don't want to think about coming home to a "project." MyeBook is really fun...give it a try. My suggestion is to listen to the tutorials first, they are really helpful. I like to explore and sometimes do not take the time to do that! That usually results in spending more time than I need to figure out the program. MyeBook is user friendly and creates a very nice product. Students could easily use it to write stories, autobiographies, etc. As teachers I feel it is very important to continue to learn and grow. There are many great programs out there that motivate and create excitement for learning. We need to be aware of what is out there. It is important to model lifelong learning. That is our goal for all of our students, right? If you are interested in checking out MyeBook, you need to go to the site and create an account. I can add your email to my account and you would be able to open my book if you are interested. The following link will take you to MyeBook. One thing is certain, I sure learned a lot these past few weeks....
