Just for fun...

Loved this video!

Great news, it can be done! (See below.) In your blog post, go to "Edit Html" and then visit your YouTube video and find the embed code. Copy and paste the embed code into your post (remember, even though it looks like nonsense, it's in the html, it's supposed to look like that). When you click post, double check your blog, but it should show up just fine. :-)

Video

Since I needed to make a video for class, upload, and post, I tried this one. (I was actually looking for the moth I've seen for the last two mornings in a row on the way into school, but it has apparently escaped the papparazzi!) I'm posting it here for class purposes, but I'll probably post it to my other account & send to my friend Gaby in Venezuela. Gaby is entirely fascinated by the Amish and regrets that there are none in her home country.

Here is the video on YouTube

Unfortunately, it looks like the only way to embed this video is to upload it to Blogger. I'll check out the html text to see if it can be embedded via link to YouTube & show up on this page.

Last Day of Class

Well, we're wrapping things up today. On the schedule: finish up websites, learn the digital video cam process, and present our finished websites. It has been a good week, and I think we are all very satisfied with the outcome: functional knowledge AND two functional websites of our very own. You can see mine here.

After this afternoon, it's back to the insanity of wedding planning. Last evening I met one of the bridesmaids at the dress shop and tried on the dress for the final fitting. Beautiful! as was her dress (in celadon with white sash & slip). And she swapped music with me as I continue to gather songs for the dance floor. Then I was up most of the night last night thinking about the seating arrangement at the reception... nothing on paper, just one of those things that keeps me from sleeping!

Sites for Educators

I've been finding, over the past year, a new surge of websites for educators. I wish I could remember all of them (and part of the problem is that they're bookmarked on several different computers). Here are a few must-see's:

Classroom 2.0

Wikispaces (ad-free for educators)

VoiceThread (expanded version for educators)

Mrs. Pojer's History Teacher .Net

Free Dictionary
