How to use webpages

I think one fun way to use webpages in class is to have students create their own web pages based on anything that they like to read. First, they must choose one book and then research and reflect on the reason they like this book. Another interesting way for me is to create a web page that will direct students to specific areas that I want them to research. I'm sure that with more experience I will begin to think of other interesting ways to utilize web pages in my future classroom.

Favorite Authors

I have to say that my favorite author is Jane Austen. I have recently read and fell in love with Emily Bronte. I think I will focus on Kate Chopin for my author study because I love her short stories and I find it fascinating that she was overlooked for so many years because of one book, The Awakening, that was considered scandalous. While this book is not my favorite, I do love her short stories.

Finally Placed

I have finally been placed at Hillsdale Middle School in Rancho San Diego. I'm kind of excited because I'm finally going to start, but at the same time I'm depressed because i'm going to be busy. I haven't met my master teacher yet and have no idea what to expect. I was really excited over a presentation that I did the other day in a different class. I thought that it went better than I had imagined.

First post

This is my first post and I am currently in class. This week has been exciting in my house. My eleven year-old daughter has finally saved enough money to buy herself a computer. The computer arrived yesterday and is waiting for me to put it up. I'm happy that my daughter has enough sense to save money and understands the value of my hard earned dollar. The money that she saved up is mostly my money that I have given her throughout the last few years. She has had family members that have given her money, but it is mostly my money. However, the important thing is that she saved it.
