 * Pat - .25 days**

what is the educational objective that you are addressing?** ||
 * **Time** || **Name** || **Room** || **What do you want help with and
 * 8:45 - 9:00 || L Bailey || Music || She wanted a refresher on how to add music to her blog. I first asked her is she got permission from the music publisher to add the music. She showed me the email of the publisher giving her permission, and the instructions the publisher had in putting the music on the web. Next I showed her how to convert wma files into mp3 files using Audacity. After that we tried to upload the mp3 files onto the blog, but we were stopped by the district firewall, so I showed her how to upload the music, while the file browser was up. She said she was going to add it at home without the firewall restrictions. ||
 * 9:00 - 9:30 || Mr.Poore || Gym || He wanted me to show him and his teaching assistant some nutrition lessons online that could be used on the Smarboard. I started by showing them Thinkfinity, and we looked at some interactive lessons that they could use on the Smartboard. As we were looking at the different lessons, the teaching assistant had an idea to make a jeopardy game for the kids, so they asked me if there were any jeoardy games that they could create on the internet. We searched on Google, and found a very neat looking jeopardy template for Powerpoint. I showed them how to use it, and they thought they had a great deal of interactive lessons that the kids would find beneficial. ||
 * 9:30 - 9:50 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 9:50 - 10:15 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 10:20 - 10:40 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 10:40 - 11:05 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 11:10 - 11:30 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 12:20 - 12:30 || Mims || 8 || I meet with Ms. Mims to make sure that the last two lessons I helped her students with worked well. She told me that the Powerpoint presentations went great, and the students I taught were able to teach the next group very well. The same could be said about the Publisher/Word newsletter lesson, although they hadn't finished because they switched to the Black History lesson for the month of February. ||
 * 12:35 - 1:00 || Oakley || 4 || Ms. Oakley wanted to create a website much like Ms. Mims, so we began by trying to set her up with a blog. As we were trying to set her up, we realized that she already had a blog. We had to reset her password, then we changed it to something that she would remember. Once we got in, we saw that she hadn't made any changes since 2007. We began to update the site by deleting all the posts that have been up there for almost two years. Next, I showed her how to change the design of the site to make it work the way she wants the site to work. We added some widgets that would help the site work smoothly, and then we got into the basics of Edublogs. I showed her how to create posts, pages, and links, then showed her how to manage those posts, pages and links just created. We updated the resource page that she already had on the site with new online resources that she found over the last 2 years. Finally, I told her to keep working at the basics, and that next time we would work on parent pages, adding media, and other more advanced Edublog lessons. ||
