Dreamweaver

Cindy- you said something about using google to finish your portfolio. I was wondering if you can give me some more details on this. I too am not on campus. Thanks!

P.S. Where do you work in Virginia Beach and what do you teach? I teach Earth Science at Bayside High.

Wiki Trouble

One other thing I forgot to ask on my recent post was ... was anyone else having trouble posting to the wiki while other people were posting to the same wiki at the same time? I am so sorry if I kicked anyone off while I was trying to post, but I kept seeing this message saying the post was locked because someone else was editing it. Is there anyway around that because I kept loosing my work? Hope no one else is having that problem!!

Grant Proposals

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this awesome website I found for the grant proposal lesson. It is http://k12grants.org/grant_opps.htm and you can click on federal, state, and even foundation opportunities. After selecting one, you can search for different grants and narrow your search to categories such as science education. I found a very interesting one about math and science education. I wanted to share this with you all because I was having a little trouble finding some and wanted to let you in on this website just in case anyone else was having trouble! I hope it helps :)

Hi everyone!

I just talked to Dr. Parlo through email about how my DreamWeaver 30 day free trial application is about to expire. I was wondering how we were going to be able to work on our e-portfolios throughout next year. She said that almost all the computers on campus have it or we can check out laptops from the 2nd floor of War Memorial Hall.

She also said there are some free ones floating around that people have been using and to ask my fellow classmates on the blog if anyone has one they can pass along. If someone does, can they please let me (all of us!) know!

Thank you in advance!

Hang in there!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick word of encouragement! I don't know if everyone else is as burnt out as I am, but only two weeks to go! Wow the summer is flying by. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone face-to-face this Fall. Keep up all the hard work, it will be worth it in the end!

What a day!

Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is having a better day than I am today! haha

I find it ironic that I did not have a good story to share when we were asked about backing up information to share a story on the blog. However, this morning when I woke up my computer crashed. I spent hours on the phone with VT 4 HELP trying to recover files off of my computer. Luckily, in the end I have been able to retrieve almost all of my information/school work/pictures/music and it is now backed up on my roommates computer as well as a flashdrive. I just wanted to remind everyone to back up their work (especially the eportfolio which I was freaking out about the most! as well as my personal pictures!)!! It can happen to anyone at any time, any day. And today has been the day from hell haha so try and avoid that at all cost!! :)
I hope everyone has a good rest of their night!

Unzipping Files

I am having trouble opening up Dr. Parlo's zip files on my new computer. Its an HP Pavilion with Vistas. I can open them on my old Dell with XP but not the new one. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me.
