I don't even know what to say about this assignment. I have tried and tried and after seeing another student had trouble with this assignment I figured that maybe it wasn't just me. I chose to my timeglider on the history of Microsoft Windows for the past 25 years. I went to this link to get started. This website has a lot of problems that needs to be fixed. I don't think this was a very good website for teachers to use because it is to frustrating. I will stick to the simple Microsoft word timeline unless they figure out a way to work this out.
Below is my timeglider, which is very very plain because I couldn't figure anything out with it.

Grading my Resume
Whoa....let's just say that I didn't get the grade I expected. It is funny though because the same resume I turned into my teacher during my undergrad I got an "A." When using this grader it says that my resume was to long and it could be done a little more professional. I submitted my husband's resume and it said it was a good one. I guess I know who to work on my resume to give me the better grade. Funny how a get a good grade from one person and a not so good from this.
What did you do?
I went to rezagrade and put in my resume document.
What did you learn?
I learned I need to update my resume.
How can you use the new learning?
This could be a cool system if they have something to grade papers for us teachers =)

Photostory
What did you do & What did you learn & How can you use the new learning?
I downloaded MS PhotoStory and then found pictures online of cyberbullying. I found the answers to my questions and then put it all together using the Photostory. I wasn't sure about this project at first....after I got to playing around with it I figured it out. This is a really neat way to add on to information you are teaching in your classroom. This would be a neat way to communicate with parents also. You could show different things being done in your classroom while explaining it. Here is the link to my youtube video.
