Webpage- The Summer I Schedule

I work at WMU in the Department of Management. I wanted to list the Summer I courses with a link to the instructors and the course content with corequisites and prerequisites. It was difficult to cross reference the different courses with the many links. To create such a webpage, I was hoping to prevent some of the circling around feeling I get on some webpages. It is a good goal, but a difficult task. Enjoy viewing my webpage! Monica

Bubbl.us, Mapping for a speech

My daughter, Sophia graduated from Kalamazoo Central HS last spring. President Obama gave the commencement speech. He is one of the great orators of our time. Giving a public speech can be daunting to most of us. So, I thought how useful bubbl.us could be to organize your thoughts for making a public speech. I used the 22 minute speech from Sophia's graduation and mapped it out with bubbl.us. A student could map out their main thoughts, add the points they want to make under each bubble and come up with a well organized templete for their speech. Who knows, maybe President Obama uses concept mapping.

You can view President Obama's speech on you tube, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Fmjgy1Sp8

My Screencast about MS Excel Spreadsheets



I am sorry about the sound. It would only record super slow motion at home (old computer). And totally quiet on the work microphone. The technology in my life is old...
I really enjoyed this lesson. I could see using this technology to tutor and train people.
