Tumblin' for Tumblr


Love this thing called Tumblr! You can find my version at http://sporter.tumblr.com

It is a quick, did I say FAST? way to create a blog online that can grab items from your browser with menu bar access! Very cool...and it is free!

Summary of the film Forms of Energy

Hi! I am Josh leading the discussion. The film says that energy can come from many types of sources, and that potential energy is stored but kinetic energy involves motion.

Here are the questions you are to think about:
1. Is kinetic energy better than potential energy?
2. What are some sources of kinetic energy?

Reciprocal Teaching using a blog!


Vocabulary terms about Forms of Energy (BrainPOP video):

potential
kinetic
chemical
electrical
light
mechanical
thermal
nuclear

Josh is the assigned discussion leader for this topic.

LIB 490 is making a blog


Our CUESTE students are creating blogs for LIB 490. I can't wait to see what they create. When I get permission, I will link to them so that you can see the variety of blogs they are working on for the elementary classroom.
