Week 2 blog

Last nights class was a bit overwhelming, my head is still spining.  I am amazed at how many different websites are out there for educators (and free).  I did look at Gliffy a little bit.  I think I am going to try this site to have my juniors create a drawing for my shop.  I have them measure the dimensions of the shop and locate all the safety devices such as fire extinguishers, emergency stop buttons for the power tools, and the exits.  The drawing that they create are pretty poor.  I hope this website can help improve their drawing abilities and get them familiar with working on the computer.  I know that at least half of my students don't have access to a computer at home.  That might be the tricky part, getting them enough access to computers.

  1. Isn't it a shame that we have all these awesome things we can do and we can't do them because of not having enough computers?
