Week Three

My Plan for the week

My plan for this week focuses on getting back into school mode. We being professional development next Monday, so I need to get all of my summer projects finished before the week is over. I also plan to spend lots of time at the pool finishing up my summer books before I have to spend my days at school! I also plan to go home a visit a few days with family before my schedule gets extremely crazy. So much to do.. so little time!

What I did / Where I went

I spend an evening in Margaritaville at the Jimmy Buffett concert! Lots of parrot heads and colorful shirts filled the crowd. This was my 6^th concert seeing Buffett! You’d think it would get old, but it gets better and better every year! I also spent some time by Mother Ocean. I flew to Myrtle Beach for a short 3-day vacation. Although it rained part of one day, I still enjoyed being in the sand. I ate my weight in seafood and had a great time with friends.

What I learned
I learned that when your head is focused on vacation, it is very difficult to get homework completed! When I get into a book, it is hard to get out of it. My plan was to do homework at the airport and on the flight. I started a book before leaving and just couldn’t put it down! I had good intentions to do homework, but instead I finished Tales from Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett. I couldn’t put it down!

The article about Pinterest ideas was very cool! I never thought about using it for collaboration or tracking progress. The evaluations page gave me a deeper understanding about how I choose my websites. The list of evaluations provides an easy way to ensure I use only the best sites at school and for personal use.

I also learned to finish homework before a storm because the power outage can cause it to be submitted a day late!

What I decided for my website

I did a lot of work on my website this week. I worked on my homepage and completed my About Me page. I had difficulty and am still having difficulty with the spacing on my homepage. I wanted the text to be beside a picture of a quote and for some reason it won’t move up. Very frustrating! I had so many pictures that I wanted to add to my About Me page that I couldn’t just choose a few. So I used the slideshow feature and included them all!
